My father is very ill and had an emergency surgery on his small intestines. He had gastric bypass surgery almost 13 years ago, and is starting to see some serious complications. His intestines were kinked up in a few places like a garden hose, and they had to cut him open to straighten him out. Unfortunately his vitals are below the norm, and he suffered a stroke in surgery.

The only reason why I tell you guys is because RealGM and this BAT grouping in particular is like an extension of family. I've known many of you guys through posting for years now, and just wanted to tell you that life is short and grab hold of what you have, because one day it can be gone.

I know I through a wrench into this thing with the Durant/Kyrie splash, and even more the other way when I turned that duo into Rondo/Melo. But I haven't been able to keep up and make the moves I wanted to put this team in the position that I wanted to be at, due to my time spent with family...so I'm going to have to bow out and give someone else that opportunity.

I'll be checking in from time to time.


Hope everything works out best man.

i gave kneega a 5 minute window to accept my deal. I actually had the picture of splitter because I was going to pick him for myself and he accepted.

he said I would like to pick splitter...no joke

:lol: what are the chances.


I had a feeling that if I wanted spliter I had to say yes at that moment :lol:

Well yea there was talent out there but with a team of Nash and Manu backcourt I love what Thabo brings. A defensive wing and spot up shooter is what I needed. Shot 43% from the arc. I'm confident he'll have no problem guarding opposing small forwards. But yea I went with best fit with my pick.

Oh wow thanks man...I missed that one.

I like your team as well so far, great shooters, but I would look at defense with your next two picks.

i still think that u should use Manu like the Spurs do which is attack off the bench but play starter minutes. not really convinced of Nash Being anywhere decent defensively but u got nice length at PF and center that should deter smaller players attacking the paint.

Just think you made a huge mistake trading Lawson. I like Horford at his natural position at PF but a more offensive minded center ala Kaman would go much better alongside him than DeAndre Jordan.

I like Danny Green a lot was contemplating taking him with my last pick but unless you think Lin is the real deal you need a lot of work. Gerald Green to me is not a starter and is a stretch at SF. I really think you need to move Jordan and get other pieces like a Kaman and some draft picks. Shift Green to the bench and choose if you think Derrick Williams is a PF or a SF.
