RIP Snapper. I had forgotten about him lately because he had been away from the game a while, but I remember his play calling quite vividly.

OKC is now 8-11 after a blowout loss to Dallas. Wow.

OKC what a waste. **** that franchise. They get all the elite talent and they can't do jack ****. Pathetic.

Hey, anyone remember when Danny Ainge was a crappy GM for not giving up the farm for a Paul George rental?

In the minds of General Board dumbasses, yes. Easily ahead of Ainge for reasons. Or something.

Paul George would be really, really good here still.

Just finished watching Pelicans @ Warriors and oh man are the Pelicans trash- I've been very disappointed in Davis, he's just not aggressive enough, and Cousins is playing too much like a guard

Indeed he would!
But a bit of a positional crunch: Horford - PG - Tatum - Hayward - Brown - Kyrie
One of Brown - Hayward - Tatum would have to be the 6th man.
And the cost of acquiring him, Presti would not give him away,
likely require the LA/Sac Pick - there's little chance Ainge would give up Brown or Tatum for him,
and the need to extend him after the season. But what an Amazing Team it would be!

Westbrook and Anthony are a weird fit.

Just my opinion, but it doesn't support giving up assets for a rental. Hindsight being what it is now, I'm glad it never happened.

Brooklyn is looking like a good team, impressed with Atkinson.

Injuries are holding them down they would be closer to .500 with a healthy team.

I'm just watching the Brooklyn v Grizzlies game and remembering this;

2019 first round draft pick from Memphis
Memphis' 1st round pick to Boston protected for selections 1-8 in 2019 and 1-6 in 2020 and unprotected in 2021 [Boston-Memphis-New Orleans, 1/12/2015]

Conley and Gasol are injury prone and getting old too. We might get a mid lottery pick next year if they don't blow it up.

Gasol sounds like he wants out

CavemanDoctor · Post #218 » by **CavemanDoctor** » Mon Nov 27, 2017 4:41 am

Gasol definitely wants out; Fizdale didn't play him down the stretch tonight even when the game was within 5. Have always loved this guy, and he would work brilliantly in Brad's system.

Your phone does this on multiple apps and these companies are getting away with it. Even the major apps use it.
