JJJ certainly not looking like Marvin so far

Last time Marvin went beastmode it was the UTA summer league.

He and Rafael Arauyo were like Magic v Bird.  It was epic.

Playing good in summer league does not mean much, but playing bad in summer league does. 

I agree with this. 

Also, KBToys isn't posting because he can't do it one-handed.

It might be best to trade that pick to someone else before it loses value.

Not a horrible idea.  I always figured this would be currency in a deal for a star(ish) guy to bolster our picks in '18 and '19.

Naw, not unless we make a run at Booker.  As long as we don’t sign Cameron Payne I’m good.  If we do I’m out.

Instead of signing Booker, why don't we just sign the player he's becoming ... slobMelo?

If that happens, we can kiss that CLE 1st goodbye.

Also, it's not just the school I root for.  I'm an alumnus.  Class of 2002.  BS in Biochemistry.

I graduated ... -er- ... 'got out' of Tech too but, for some reason, I don't feel the need to make the distinction between that and the fact that I root for them.

C'mon KBT, you're better than that.

I've said it before, Favors and Hood would be the players I targeted in free agency instead of taking on a bad contract.  I'd rather win 30 games next year than 18.

Hey, don't think you're gonna get on my bad side by talking up the Techies .... now, if you tell me we need to pick up Jarrett Jack ....

Seriously though, I felt how you feel years ago when folks called for us to tank.  Now, I get it (i.e. tanking).  As long as we don't totally devolve into @Spud2nique church ball level of play, I'm fine with us taking a few years off in the name of asset-building.  Anyway, I feel this is sliding into the tank-discussion so I'll bow out before the "mods" get their collective jimmies rustled ...

Then again, here's @AHF diligently at "work" so ...

Wake up, alice

Man, this is so obvious to everyone but Lakers' fans, it's painful. The guy is already top 10 all-time in minutes played.

I think he just copied Zlatan - moved to L.A. to focus on things other than winning.  If he wins, great.  If not, he's earned the right to coast.

Agreed.  I also think this may be about setting his sons up to be Laker-alums, or whatever it'd be called, once they're pro's.

Just now, KB21 said:

Because he is a quality player who can shoot the basketball well, is still young, and he's from Mississippi and played for a brief time at Mississippi State.  

He's also going to be looking for big bucks which we shouldn't be paying at this point in the 'build.

And how dare you?  Bumping a guy just 'cause he went to the school you root for.  Shameless.

... oh and, on a totally unrelated note, I think we should max out Favors, Shumpert and trade 2 1sts to pry Okogie from MIN.

Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Shut the hell up!

Heh, just like KBToys, I didn't want Buttz gone either but I'm not gonna act like we just lost Auerbach or something.

Oh and you might want to get the ignore-KB button ready.  We're likely to be heading into at least 2 more losing seasons so, every time we lose, he'll be all, "Bwah, Buttenshoulder would have us in the ECF by now, blah, blah, blah ..."

Meanwhile MIL will be into their 3rd year or 2nd round exits for .... reasons.

Cleveland may also not be able to resign Rodney Hood without going into the luxury tax area.  Now, maybe they do it and trade off other contracts at a later date, but if I were Travis Schlenk (which I'm not, as I'm a lot smarter), I'd make an offer to Rodney Hood.

Why?

For better or worse (I get it, you think 'worse'), the decision to tank has been made.  Signing Hood is an 'in-between', indecisive move.

The die has been cast, at this point.

God damn dream killer. He’s going to be great trade bait after turning his career around in Atlanta. 

Haha, you can't even say that with a straight face.

It’s a hope. Not necessarily something I’m certain of. I mean it is the off-season. Can you let us enjoy our speculating on possible additions please sir ? Is that ok with you ?

No.  Not when we'r talking about adding a dreg like Beasley.

Your opinion may be it’s meaningless. It may be all smoke and no fire. However, it’s out there and could also be a possibility.

"It's out there"?  I'd be hesitant to rely on these "reports".

I'll let you in on a little secret.  Every agent of a guy looking to be signed knows which teams have space.

IOW, seeing our name in these meaningless reports is just that ... meaningless.

I repeat. Because that's what Schlenk did last year?

To be clear, it's not that we'll be trying to make the 2018-19 team better. But it's altogether likely that Schlenk will be trying to add some assets that will bring some additional draft picks either at the deadline or even immediately via taking on bad contracts so that others can add FAs.

I think it's clear we won't be adding anyone significant as an outright free agent.  Adding some rando via trade ... to gain an asset ... that's another story.

Elaborate? 

You know I'm not smart enough to follow you, sturt.

Haha no I went on the Magic board like a month ago suggesting that they should trade for Dennis. I think I suggested #6 and Isaac for #3 and Dennis. They got mad at that. 

I explained to them politely that they haven’t had a point guard like Dennis since Penny. That’s when they really started hating me. I didn’t say anything that wasn’t true unless people think Jameer is as good or better than Dennis. Honestly, outside of Penny, which point guard have they had that was worth ANYTHING?

Anyways, they are double and triple teaming me in there and nobody is coming to my rescue..not even the sleeping ? beauty @kg01. Smh

Wha?  You s'posed to yell, "Koo-kooooo!!!  Squad up, we got beef!!" ... and we woulda come a-runnin.

Who are yall kidding?   We'll be adding gleague guys, if anything. 

Michael Beasley?  Are y'all serious?
