It's a great trade... the PG's were all pretty close to my eye and that's the position I know the most.

Wright/Jones/Grant were all pretty close to me. Just depends on what you were looking for.

Phil interview coming up...


I had Payne instead of Jones.. but yeah I liked Wright and Grant also.

But hey the news is Pleighboi was half right.

Is it by any means perfect? HELL no! But at this time last year, I doubt many thought we would look this good only a year later.

Not a playoff team, need stars, unless Gasol, Aldridge or Butler come to NYC we are a lottery team this year

He did what I thought Hinkie would do. Now imagine if Philly didn't take Okafor, we could have had Okafor and Grant

Let's count the Phil lies so far:

- Three pointer not important: Lie
- We're likely taking a wing or guard with the 4th: Lie
- We're set at the lead guard position: Lie
- Steve Mills will take over when I leave: ...?

They wont rush Porz, they're gonna let him grow into his body and develop. This pick is for 2016 IMO.

Yeah so like I was saying about Phil I really like his eclectic lifestyle.. some deep stuff.. you get that third eye opening up by doing the sun salutations. It works I'm a believer.

ImageThat quick turn around...


I would like to thank the Nets for starting this whole transaction by giving the Hawks rights to swap

Would you trade Zinger and Grant now for Okafor?
