... so? Seriously. Anyone who's still a Lin-only fanatic at this point ... well, let's just say they don't move the kg-meter. Preach, gurl.

... a city that couldn't hang onto a historical franchise like the Sonics? I'd suggest delving further into why franchises are located in certain cities/markets.

It's also not a phenomenon that's specific only to this franchise.

Guys, let's rally around our boy @Sothron. I know he's reeling with the news that Jimi formally rejected the Twolves extension offer. Come on home to TrAeTL, soth. Your Hawks still love you.

Wrong

I need to put that on t-shirts. I'm the powerhouse. KBToys is just here. Heh.

Doesn't Trae-T-L have more 'ring' to it? Thas some good stuff. Did you steal it from someone funny? Ohhhhh Heh, pretty dure DS won't be seeing this post for a while. I think his visa got revoked. Preach. Also agree that Slink is excelling as a director of scouting. Not so much as director of GMing.

What have we done .... .... nobody tell them about this place ... or have the mods already done it for 'cash considerations' reasons? Sonofa ... I can understand that piece of it but I imagine that's not the bulk of player-only fans. Uhm ... let's not and say we did.

I'm a Hawks fan. I like certain players but I feel no sense of 'investment' in their success/failure elsewhere. Not really. So, I don't really understand the whole 'I'm a fan of this guy' thing.

Heh. I think, when burd says 'they', she's referring to Lin-only fans. Not referring to Asians in general. Not that you can't defend yourself, but I wouldn't want anyone to misinterpret that.

Larry (Teddy) Riley: "Dayum, sun. What in the actual F are you thinking on these deals, bro?" Slink: "I 'on't even know, mayne. These dudes is trippin'. Don't they know I used-ta work for tha Warriors?" Riles: "Ah man, that shizz don't matter no mo'. You work for da Hawks, now. Besides, me 'n Bob did all the real work in GS. You jus' folded papers and .." Slink: "Shhhhh, I had you on speaker. Somebody mighta heard you." Riles: "Aw my bad, bro. Look. See if your boss will brang me in like what Jerry did in LAC. I'mma help you get it together b'fore they figure out you in over your head." Slink: "Shiiii. 'Preciate it, my ni..." Riles: "Shhhh, I had you on speaker!" Slink: "Nzinga!!!"

Sean Marks was probably stifling laughter as he talked to Slink. Every GM in the league is probably burning up Slink's phone tryna get him to deal. SMDH

Eh, still seems kinda weak.

You talkin 'bout @Peoriabird? He doesn't even really say he's against the trade, just preferred Chandler. Unless I'm missing something. I'm giving you some major side-eye right now, Eaz. Better than side-boob, I guess.

Heh. See, the problem is, if you don't call them out the rest of us will think you're makin' it up. Your move, bro.

I remember now. The problem wasn't simply trading for Faried and a 1st. The issue was in swapping 19 and 14 when, in reality, you can acquire Faried without swapping 1sts. That was the issue and, as this trade illustrates, the folks against swapping were indeed right. Preach. Hope Larry Riley can help him not keep getting fleeced.

Agreed ... and gifs. Gifs aren't funny either. Who are you talking about? I don't recall folks being up in arms about acquiring Faried ... to get a 1st. I think there were other reasons people weren't excited about that move.

Capspace, when we're trying to sign a high-level free agent, is only worth so much. When you're the last team with space, it is indeed worth much. Hopefully us hiring Riley helps Slink ... he needs it.

I thought that as well. But we're paying too much for a 3rd pg. Do they see Lin as a 1 and part-time 2?

Ok, now I know you're not serious. I'm being punk'd. Ok, Ashton. Come on out with the cameras. I think Young and Collins will look fine on their own.

If that's his plan, we need to fire him now. Today. Crap-wads like Lin and Vic do not make you look better .. to anyone of consequence. They make you look like a playoff-fodder team ... which isn't appealing to any high-level free agent. Have the last 10+years taught you nothing, Dies? C'mon mayne.

ORL has been trying to trade this guy for 2 years. Trading middling expirings like him, as we saw played out twice last trade deadline, is not a slam dunk. That market has changed drastically. Expirings don't hold the same value anymore.

We're tanking. Why in the heyul would we want these rando journeymen coming here Bob Sura-ing up the plan? That being said, as awful as Slink is, you're probably right. 38-win playoff season coming up. - There's a pretty funny Fozzy gif that I would've posted here if gif's weren't now frowned upon.

I'd imagine Faried would've been moved/bought-out. He better not be done ..... C'mon, sothwrong. I'm driving the anti-Slink wagon. Don't give KBToys that credit(sic).
