Mine was clever, yours was just repeating my joke with a new name.

Not that I expected anything different...

Misquoting someones post is wildly clever and original in the first place :roll:

Didn't he win MVP in all those allstar games?

Your point is?

If he can win MVP's on "cruise control" he definitely should be the guy we need. Dunlap will make him play up to his "pedal on the metal"

Sullinger won an mvp in one of those, McD one I think. We should take him too, right?

Leave it to a Harrison Barnes fan to cop my style then call it unoriginal.

Then why worry about Drummond?

What MVP's have Drummond won? didn't he put up lackluster stats in high school too?

His high school stats were pretty damn good, and I was talking about your "cruise control" defenses

You either spelled MKG, Robinson, Drummond, or Beal wrong.

No we would be crazy to waste a pick on Robinson. We would be crazy not to draft Beal or Barnes. We need offense and the other guys don't provide that.
