The meme where the guy is looking at one girl in front of him and ignoring the girl behind and the girl in front of him is labeled "Myles Powell" and the girl behind him is captioned "Mamadee Diakeyte (sp?)" and text overlaying the guy reads "Outsized expectations of the commentariat, another in a continuing series of."

I have to grab Shutterstock pics every day in my job and boy, it was exciting the day I stumbled upon the entire collection with that couple. There's even one that's the reverse meme, with the girl eyeballing a dude and her boyfriend being all pissed.

I have it for work as a TEAMS background. If I sit right hes ignoring her and looking back at me. Got to set the tone in meetings how awesome I am.

Pistons and Blake working on a buyout.

Here’s the Bucks updates from Shams:

The Rockets have a veteran player who has the intrigue of many of the league’s contenders: Forward PJ Tucker. The Nets, Bucks, Heat, Nuggets and Lakers are expressing interest in Tucker, sources said. Multiple teams have sensed a deal could develop sooner rather than later for Tucker, but the timing is likely dependent on the Rockets’ asking price. As of now, Houston has sought a young player back in a trade, sources said.

Tucker, 35, is a versatile forward who’s able to defend multiple positions. So far this season, he has averaged 4.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 30 minutes per game.

For Sacramento, forwards Harrison Barnes and Nemanja Bjelica will receive interest from suitors. Barnes, one of the team’s veteran leaders, has had a productive season in averaging 16.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists a game. Bjelica spent time out of the Kings’ rotation but has since returned. He’s averaging 8.3 points and 31 percent 3-point shooting in 18 games this season. Philadelphia, Miami, Golden State, Milwaukee and Boston are among teams that have shown interest in Bjelica, sources said.

Brewers were approved for 25%. I wonder if the Bucks will increase as well

Myles Powell is Horst's/Bud's/Bucks move... I guess we are officially collectors of undersized guards

Long arms. Taller standing reach and longer wingspan than DDV. About the same as Sexton.

Powell is fine. Just say no to Tucker! What we don't need is an expensive "tweak". We need much more than that IMHO.

Lets start at the SG position first bring in someone who is a definite upgrade over DDV would go a long way DDV belongs as the 6th or 7th man

Question for anyone who has watched Houston with any regularity this year:

How does DeMarcus Cousins look? How does his game compare with Brook Lopez's?

Who would you suggest and how do we get that player?

From the little I have seen he is in the same camp as Blake Griffin.

[smauss]

Personally, I would start at the 5. We need someone capable of guarding multiple positions (especially switching on PnR), athletic, and who can run the floor. I still believe we desperately need to upgrade our team defensively before anything else. You can't win if you can't guard, and we are woefully lacking, especially at the 5 IMHO.

[WeekapaugGroove]

Does Ed Davis have anything left in the tank? Have to think he gets bought out in MN and could provide some D for short stints at the 5.

He can barely get off the ground, but he's big and strong, has great hands, uses his size well defensively, still hard to post up, still a skilled passer but smarter than his younger version. Kind of a rich man's Moose Monroe with the greenest of lights.

Personally, I would start at the 5.

Check out the ego on this guy!

Am I right in thinking we need to clear DJ Wilson to do anything without being hard capped? Or at least some other type of pure salary reduction?
