Yeah - lots of things are against the rules, but if you aren't being a jerk about it, nobody seems to care.

Anyway, not a huge fan of that quote feature. They should really just default it to quote the person you are trying to quote, not everyone they quoted before. Especially with long posts. Someone writes a manifesto and the next person quotes them with a big response and then the whole thing just gets hard to read. Not a big deal on a laptop, but kinda annoying on my phone.

Nice story, Manocad. Not sure what it has to do with Reggie Jackson though.

Not a damn thing. I just need to inform everyone in the forum that if you try to stop me from banging all the members' mothers and sisters, stealing their money, and throwing it all on various craps tables throughout Vegas, you'll very likely get shot.

Reggie Jackson and SJ for Westbrook and PG13. Who says no?

Why does the OP think we would be selling high? Reggie was hurt last season after playing at a near all-star level in the season prior and now that he's healthy again he's playing well again. This isn't a high point on a roller coaster, it's Reggie doing what he can do if he's healthy.

Folks are also going overboard on the defense. Harden, Curry, and Kyrie all stink. But the value of offense at the point is much greater than defense, so they're among the league's most valuable players.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Come on man, Harden, Curry and Kyrie are all offensive power houses, so they don’t need to try as much in defense so they can carry the offense. A healthy Reggie would put up a max of 18 ppg but Reggie’s horrific defense outways anything that he puts up the offensive end of the floor.
