Yep. Loved him when he was on the tennis team at UMd though

Wow. Nets waive Anthony Bennett. A #1 overall draft pick just 3 years ago, he bounced around through 4 teams before being cut 30 games into his 4th season.

Greatest bust of all time?

Nah, that's Peter North in North Pole: Jenna Does Santa.

Guess the Hawks aren't trading Millsap - that means they won't be dropping below us by season's end

It might be posturing to get a better offer. It also might be what the market was offering didn't mean it was worth potentially missing the play-offs.

Budenholzer is a damn good coach. Watch the Hawks still be in the playoffs if they get rid of Millsap.

Good point. I think a lot would depend on what the package was in return. If it was around a pick and useless players, even with Dwight Howard healthy it might be tough to be very competitive. However it looks like most of the teams in the hunt would have had to give up some current talent to make a serious offer on Millsap.

Honesty, I wonder why you hate Cousins that much.

The empirical evidence is that his franchise values him greatly.

I have bipolar disorder and I think I know a little bit more about mental health disorders and behavioral disorders and Recovery then you guys do.

Wellness is a process trying to attain optimal results given some dissociation or disability. Behavior is a function of environment heredity and time.

There are milestones in the career of DeMarcus Cousins and there is a history of incidents in the career of DeMarcus Cousins.

I personally think he's big and black and it scares most of you guys. I can relate because that's how a lot of people feel about me and I know I'm innocent 93% of what they say.

Boogie Cousins has the perfect nickname, because he is the boogie man to you guys who react so viscerally to his every gesture.

How long before Derrick Rose & Rajon Rondo get bought out of their contracts? I pretty much said before this season that Rose is done and Rondo isn't very good. So much for the "dream team" in New York lol.

Interesting that you brought up bipolar disorder. Do you think Cousins is bipolar?

Rose + Melo in the triangle offense. What could possibly go wrong? I am shocked it hasn't worked out.

Almost as shocking as the fact that Phil Jackson still has a job.

He drafted KP. That is enough to give him a few "get out of jail free" cards.

LOL at the "big and black" reason for disliking Cousins. It's not because he's a raging d*ckhead at all...it's because he's black. :rolleyes:

As a black man from Northeast DC who's relatively "big", I guess we do scare people sometimes. Maybe CCJ is right. Has nothing to do with my disdain for Cousins though.

AFM · Post #399 » by **AFM** » Tue Jan 10, 2017 10:08 pm

How "big" are you, bruh? You can PM me, if that's easier.

They call me bipolar but I JUST LEARNED might be more schizo-affective and misdiagnosed....

Which is to say I don't know what Boogie is but I think he's got something that contributes to impulsive behavior/thoughts with him.
