That's interesting. I presume we wanted one of those guys. Fox or Haliburton would have been a fine get. Otherwise, FOH with anything they had.

I don't get why they needed a secret meeting. You want Randle? Fox or Haliburton available? No? FOH.

Woulda saved everybody a lot of time.

Just because it probaby got buried when the old thread was closed,

Ja Morant out for the season with a labral tear of his shoulder. He has missed a lot of time, for various reasons. Showing up on the court has been, and remains, a big part of achieving.

There are only a few situations where value cannot be extracted. Almost every player has some value to somebody.

Expecting Deuce to replace IQ feels like setting him up for failure.

Bicycling makes me really happy, a lot more now that I'm older and can't elevate or drive on the younger guys like I used to. Quick's a good guy, and I hope he has a great career. Just not against the Knicks.

I wonder if i should invest in a bike this spring, seems like a good way to get in some cardio without the knees and feet absorbing impact

F*ck I'm getting old :cry:

Definitely. I was doing 12-13 miles a day last spring-fall and miss it so much. Can't wait to go riding by the lake again when it warms up.

Yes, it's incredible. I'm actually doing more on my Assault bike (an indoor air bike) -- at least 10 miles/day, but being outside is an incomparable feeling. You can see so many awesome things that you'd totally miss if going by car, and never see if you were walking (takes to long to walk that far). Awesome exercise. And when you need to go somewhere not too far away, you can get there faster than by bus, subway, or cab (I went 4 miles on my bike one night on a kind of emergency trip way faster than waiting for the bus, train, or car).

I think he is capable of playing a similar role. I always compared him to Smart. Different player? Sure. IQ is much more creative, a guy who can score 20 with ease. McBride can score 20 but in the flow of the offense.

If Grimes can start to step into Mikal Bridges role player territory and McBride can start to show what I said above... we are pretty good. Now is Malachi Flynn a worthy 3rd stringer? The reason to get a guy like Brogdon is because if Brunson has to miss time, McBride/Flynn for a series of 5 games could be a problem.

Grimes-West has just been cooking the Mavs since I turned this game on.

But they were willing to give up Hali for Sabonis. I just don't buy it. Randle and Sabonis are on the same tier. It's just a matter of preference if you like Sabonis or Randle more.
