What grinds your gears?

Al Jefferson's knee grinds my gears.

Every year Bill Simmons writes an NBA trade value column which ranks players based on their ability relative to their current contract. Thought this was relevant as a previous poster knocked Mr Simmons as always dismissing the Wolves and ignoring the talent on the team:

Group E: "Effectively Untouchable"

20. Al Jefferson
(Shaking my head.)

(I happened to be watching when he tore his ACL on Sunday and did the "no, no, no, come on, no" routine and everything. Ruined my night.)

(He's my favorite non-Celtic, hands down, nobody else comes close. Durant is second, Duncan is third, Ginobili is fourth, Brandon Roy is fifth ... and Sasha Vujacic is last.)

(The symmetry between the most ingenious low-post player of all-time coaching the kid with the best current low-post moves -- and the kid suddenly making The Leap as a result -- was almost too good and too cool to be true. I feel for everyone in 'Sota. It always sucks when someone gets hurt, but when it's a good kid who matured as a player and person, took less money to stay on a crappy team, then became The Man with little to no help and no veterans to guide him? Then it really sucks.)

(I can't talk about it. Hence, the parenthesis. Just know that he was No. 9 on last week's list.)

What is starting to grind my gears is that the KG trade was supposed to be for Al, Theo, and RAJON RONDO. Watching him in these playoffs makes me sick.

How much of Rondo is talent that was there, to a young pg who got to grow with an awesome vet cast? I doubt he would have became the same player with us.

Sounds like some of you guys needs some lubricant for your gears.
