LOL @ Bledsoe

Hey, go easy on him. He's opening a tasting room down the road from me:
https://www.bendbulletin.com/business/6311666-151/box-factory-adds-tenants-while-nearby-sites-await
The Box Factory continues to remodel space for new tenants, one of which will be Bledsoe Family Winery.

Owner Drew Beldsoe said the tasting room will be similar to one in downtown ­Walla Walla, Washington, and serve wines that are more affordable than the exclusive products at Doubleback Winery, Bledoe’s Walla Walla Valley winery. He expects to occupy the 2,200 square-foot space early next year.

Bledsoe said he settled on the Box Factory after looking for a space downtown. “There’s so much going on there,” he said. “There’s also going to be significant continued development in that area. It’s going to be a really cool extension of downtown.”

Not a surprise with Parker, who has apparently exhibited some jealousy of Giannis. The Bucks wouldn't even have to move him, though, as he is an RFA. As far as Bledsoe? Can't imagine he has much value at this point. T.J. freaking McConnell gave us more problems than he did.

The Greek Fork doesn't like Bledsoe and Parker?

Jabari Parker does seem like one of the most annoying people in the NBA. He is like Carmelo, without college success, or Olympic success. He is like Marcus Morris without defense. Understandable, Parker has never passed the ball to anyone on the Bucks? Why give it to Middleton shooting 60% from 3 or Greek Fork shooting 55% from the field when bricks can be launched?

Eric, he is useful, but the Bucks need more of an outside shooter at point guard if Greek Fork has the ball all the time.


None of those Bucks are needed in Boston. Parker will go to the Bulls. Bledsoe, he'll go to the Cavs if LeBron stays there?


Raptors trying to trade into the draft, very funny. Like going to the store and trying to pay with Monopoly game money.

Batum and pick 11, Charlotte get Valanciunas, Wright, Miles? Or, send Jonas V to the Pacers for Lead and Jefferson, as Hornets don't need him.

Bayless and pick 10, 76ers get Lowry?

This might be easier to do, pick 12 and P Beverley to Toronto, Clippers get Poeltl and Wright.


Wouldn't be surprised if Toronto traded for Wiggins, although with his contract it will take a lot of work, and probably extra teams with cap-space.

How strongly do you feel about Milwaukee needing a brute center?

I think Milwaukee needs to keep Giannis' big ass in the paint. I don't get why he goes from 3pt line to 3pt line getting guys in their offense? Get your big ass in the paint & make havok. I really do think they'd be better off w/ a stretch 5 to open the paint up for Giannis to work instead of making Giannis a point & having a 5 like favors clogging the paint.

& Also I know you need a real center or two. Figure they'll keep maker & Henson around. Just mean for optimal efficiency. Especially since Giannis can control the paint on defense. I just want him to stay in there more.

It's just not his game, man. He is more of an athletic freak rather than a brute. Plus, he is so good at initiating offense that the Bucks like having him in a point forward sort of role.

I agree with the floor stretchers, though. If we learned anything about the Bucks in our series with them, it's that they need shooters.

SAS says that CP3 is telling people that Lebron wants to be in LA.

It's honestly getting to the point where it almost seems like it's a given that LeBron will end up in Los Angeles, but we all know he will be an attention whore and drag out the process and act like he doesn't know where he is going before finally announcing his shocking decision to take his talents to Hollywood.

No one is discussing them, they don't have a GM, but I still think he ends up in Philly to complete my local sports nightmare that was the past year.

Thon can‘t stay on the floor (could be Kidd‘s doing, but Thon has a high foul rate and he‘s inconsistent). Henson lost all the mojo that got him his contract in the first place and he got eaten alive by Horford. I don‘t see how staying pat with them gets the Bucks further.

The Bucks play Giannis at the 4 any ways so it‘s not like Favors would kill the spacing more than Henson. Giannis is super athletic. Taking the ball out of his hands decreases his driving opportunities. Yes the Bucks need more shooting, but to me it seems more like a coaching problem. Middleton fell in love with midrange ISOs, Snell is inconsistent, and Bledsoe needs a reality check. Jabari sounds to be a high risk as a leaver or for injury, why not get a solid return for him when you can?

Does anyone spend an absurd amount of time doing mock offseasons for random ass teams like Memphis or Orlando? lol. I spend so much time on nonsense it's crazy.

Think like if Mem can resign Tyreke for the full non tax MLE, take Bagley 4th & sign a solid backup pg, they can be a playoff fighting team next year.

Conley - Devin Harris? Felton, idk. Someone.
Evans - McLemore
Brooks - Parsons
Bagley - Green
Gasol - Davis

I don't think that's a bad team. Not a contender, but should be in that bottom playoff mix.

Idk between Smittys cap sheets & the capulator tool, i'm always playing around on nonsense ass teams :lol: Does anyone else do this?
