But flops you are about to experience something you have never experienced in your lifetime....


A Warriors team that actually attempts to play DEFENSE. Your players better be prepared to D up or Mark Jax is going to kick their lame asses over to Europe where they belong. Honestly I don't know how David Lee survives this one. He's in big trouble.

I don't think David Lee can defend no matter how many Marc Jacksons we hire. :(

I like your honesty floppy. I am making you an honorary member of the Bobcats board. We need more fans here who hold our players accountable for their poor play, and not blame their short comings and personal failures on the coach or their depression.

I'm glad we didn't match but I'm ****** after we helped get his career somewhat back on track that didn't get some discount consideration, oh well I guess $$$ talks! :(

i figure kwame gave us a 1 mil discount.

we offered 2 years 8 mil. he would have taken it over 2 years 9 mil from golden state since he loved silas and felt he owed MJ something. thats my theory i just made up. but golden state laid down the suprefan offer that he couldnt say no to.

if Kwame sucks it up at golden state, which I think he will since Boris was the main contributer to his surgance, he'll probably be back here next year for the minimum, a great back up for bismack the magic biyombo

I think it's a great tank move to not re-sign him especially in context of MJ spending money, showcasing Diaw's potential positional flexibility, freeing up time for Biyombo to learn on the run and Charlotte looking for a quality player through the draft

But what's a surgance?

Isn't this whole team a project? It's not like we're trying to make the playoffs anyway. :roll:

Yes, if you want to run a project out there, you could do it with Tyler. But I think he'll be better served in the D-League.

I watched him in some pre-draft drills with other draft prospect centers, and he looked to be the worst of the group. If you are trailing the guys who got drafted, you are not ready for the league. He needs to go back in the oven for a while.

• Golden State struck out with Marc Gasol, Nene, Tyson Chandler, tried to overpay DeAndre Jordan (four years, $43 million), then settled on a one-year, $7 million deal for the immortal Kwame Brown. I'm not sure if "settling" is a strong enough word, to be honest. If the newly single Ashton Kutcher spent the night talking to Scarlett Johansson, Elizabeth Olsen, and Blake Lively, threw the kitchen sink at Kaley Cuoco and went home with a portly cocktail waitress, I don't think we would use the word "settling." That's basically what happened here. :lol:

GSW fans are saying that Kwame has come in unfit.
I honestly didn't expect that.

So far I think the unfit report is not confirmed.

I was at the game tonight but Kwame wasn't there, so I can't report on how he looked.

I agree. Without a legitimate center there is absolutely no chance of us beating any of the decent teams. Top three pick here we come.

We would have had a top 3 pick regardless.
