FINALLY! Welcome aboard, SKS!

Can we double her salary and have her replace DOL now, too?

Makes you wonder what went on that pushed her to that point. Guess sometimes people just snap.

Not sure how anyone can look at the guy and say 6'7" with a straight face.

And there he is at Summer League chatting up Pierce.

Cousins isn't leading anyone to anything.

Yeah...let's draft a guy because of his Instagram.

I think we should have a new draft metric: The Gertz Scale. Pass Jami Gertz movie/TV trivia or we don't draft you.

Today’s players are too young to have even watched anything with her in it.  They all know who Grant Hill is.  Don’t see much comparison.

But how in the world is she “over-involved”?    She seems like a perfect level of engaged with the team to me given who she is.

Over-involvement from the perspective of expecting nothing. If you're asking whether I want to see Grant Hill or Jami Gertz, I'm taking Jami all day.

December: "Durant and Irving to the Knicks. Book it."

July 1: "Bobby Portis for $31 million"

This one incident doesn't matter much but I think sturt's observation that Hill's total set of behavior shows he isn't engaged with the team is spot on.  One of the things I was really excited about when Hill was announced as a minority owner was that he could be a very useful piece of selling the team to the public and to players.  He clearly has shown zero interest in either of those.  That is a disappointment.  

Disappointed in this, but nobody gushes over the far better over-involvement of Jami Gertz.

So, let me get this straight.

By sending a text, or making a call to say "congrats," Grant Hill would be crossing a line.... you're saying because his role is this or that, he shouldn't be, privately nor publicly, expressing to a new player his excitement for his arrival? Like that isn't appropriate, or like that takes too much time away from what he should be doing in his role as you understand his role?

Really? Because, to me, it seems you're seeeeeeriously reaching here.

I disagree.

I think we've been fabulously misled. His association with the Atlanta Hawks appears now more than ever to be just for show.

 

Pot, meet kettle.

This is complaining just to complain.

Blame Gearon. Guy was a total snake. He hated Ferry so much that he had to record phone calls and leak them (and Levinson's emails) to get them ousted. And Ferry's wasn't even his own words.

But hey...at least his boy Nique cried enough that he got his statue.

Are the rumors true? Is Philly tough really tougher than other city “toughs”? Curious because of Cam and Hunter. How tough are you?  Tony Allen tough? Rudy Gobert tough? KD 🧁 benching 135 tough? 

Philly is tough, but the real tough guys are from Baltimore. B-more is one of the worst, toughest places in the country.

Pennsylvania here. I'll be right down.

It's a 0.08. The DUI charge probably won't even stick. Either way it's a misdemeanor and really nothing to get in a fuss about.

This is the correct answer.

One of the few who truly loved being a Hawk above any other team.

Shame he was abusive towards his true love.

WTF are "elite hips"?

For many of them it was a confirmation of their preseason assessment of the chosen one. 

It is for sure that Doncic had a historic roomie campaign, but it was not more historic than Trae's. This was the first year I felt co-ROY made sense. Definitely didn't feel that way about Hill and Kidd or Brand and Francis. 

He always did the dishes and the laundry...and he never ate food that wasn't his out of the fridge.

Well I guess "immediate outrage" is better than no outrage at all.

Eh...wait and see what happens. Good on them by doing Bazemore a solid and getting him to a better situation. Considering the minutes we are probably talking here, I don't see this moving the needle all that much. Plus, nobody has any idea where these guys will be come October, so freaking out in June seems premature at best.

Who would have thought Dwight Howard would bring a locker room down? Never saw that coming.

Count me in the camp thats very anxious to see him play with our new playmaking PG.

But that's just it...when he's back, he's back. Them giving a guess isn't going to make it happen any sooner or later.
