Oh, if Dr. KBToys prescribed it, by all means steel-cut them oats. He knows his crap ... *wink*.

Not really. In terms of winning a title, we're on the same island ... which is nowhere near winning a title. At least now we have a chance at getting elite talent that we'll need. And don't yell at me, I'm not as 'pro-tank' as most. I just grew weary of watching us bump our heads on the glass ceiling. We were basically that bumblebee trapped in a car but steadily flying headfirst into the inside of the windshield. Admirable effort but the reality is that bumblebee's gonna end up dead and dried out at the base of the glass.

You know you jus' had some instant oatmeal like the rest of us.

Preach, sturt. You musta ate your Wheaties this morning. Our last 10+ years taught me that culture means next to nothing when you lack elite talent. I'm tired-a being the little engine that could(n't). Give me elites, or give me death. The only question at this point is ... do we have an elite-in-training (or not).

I actually agree with this. However, I don't think 'where we were the last 10 years' was a desirable position either.

Hedo Turner or Evan Turkoglu? Mirotic is a different kind of player.

Not sure y'all are 'getting it'. I'm no Slink fan, but he said we're all-in on this tank-build. That means we will not be signing free agents, certainly not high-dollar ones. Signing a guy like Hezonja (if he works out) or Noel (if he plays) helps us win (to a degree). Right now, we. do. not. want. to. win. It's that simple. Now, I'm not saying I agree necessarily but that's where we are right now. No need to be confused or frustrated. I should also add that I don't trust Slink so, despite all his comments against signing guys, it wouldn't surprise me to see him sign a guy like Lavine or Parker out of the blue - thus, totally torpedoing the tank-build.

Wtf is jumberjackin? Like lumberjacking but with fatties?

That is more fun .... the way poking a rusty nail into yer eye is "fun".

Probably happened before they got Payton.

Stole this, but ...

Get Collins outta there

Joel meyers, Nop broadcaster, hinted that mgt told Davis Cousins indicated that he didn't want to return which is why Davis 'signed off' on them moving on from Cousins. Sounds like creative phrasing by Joel.

Lol. It's almost like he purposely put error after error in it.

Dafuq is walker resting for?

Finally made 1 ... i still hate it.

Don't pay attention to these reports on Leonard. He don't talk. These dudes are guessin.

Heh, coach told him to take the foul ... clear path tech. Oy

The box probably looks better than the game.

Get to the rim, mayne!!! Just jakin 3's isn't "offense".

We look like butt.

These dudes are awful, mayne.

Not much good.

I hate these announcers.

With all the rFA's still unsigned with seemingly no interest coming, I'd bet that "rumor" was made up. Couple that with Slink saying specifically that they would not do that, it reinforces my belief that it was merely planted by Lavine's folks to drum up interest. Also, Lavine isn't intriguing because he's not really a shooter plus plays no defense. Not a fit IMHO. Nah, he'd be a malcontent here and a negative influence on the whole program. Thus, would not be a piece trade-able for assets and we would likely not want to re-sign him. Serves no purpose for us. The real person at blame here is his agent who apparently killed a s-n-t deal to POR because he's Nurkic's agent too. Seems like he was trying to make sure he got paid by both of them getting new deals.
