You will never stop saying Alice. You and hazer nicknames for Al always makes me laugh 

Supes laughs it off but it hits a little closer to home for Al.  Remember when hazer shouted it at him during the Cleveland game?

The subdued reaction to this from you shows tremendous personal growth, btw.

 This time last year, you would've went in on the tears, bro.

It’s understanding (and growth) that makes it possible for people like me to tolerate a person (and his fans) like Lin.

 Sorry I stole that from Ferris and his spectacular day off of school .

Me neither except for when he hit that step back game clincher vs scrubs in 2016 to clinch it...well that and the block on Iggy from what’s his face..the other diva

So, this has become the dumping ground for trade-related discussion.  Purely an end-around to posting trade stuff in the proper thread.  When I take over as mod, I'll drop the hammer on stuff like this.  Until then ....

https://fadeawayworld.net/2019/07/30/nba-trade-rumors-pacers-would-move-myles-turner-for-incredibly-significant-offer/

So, the "story" is that the Pacers want a "significant offer" to move Turner.  That's cute and all but the reality is they ain't gonna pay both Turner and Sabonis (who they seem to be high on).

What would it take to get Turner several hundred Myles south to Atlanta?

I'd send them a 1st+stuff.  Full disclosure, I'm not expecting us to be in the high lottery anymore.  I'm hoping, going forward, we're out of the 'tryna get high 1sts' game.

Your thoughts?

You might be a little disappointed next year.

No, you might be a little disappointed next year!

Seriously though, we'll probably be incrementally better this season which admittedly isn't great.  But we won't be in the running for worst teams.  That's splitting hairs, I know, but that's where I'm at.

Getting Cousins for cheap/short term is about putting the Hawks on the map for good. If we sign him to a one or two year deal we are putting ourselves in the position of making the playoffs and maybe even winning a playoff series.

 

Not so fast....

 

 

[AHF]

Injuries just wrecking his career.  One after the next here.  Wow.

[JayBirdHawk]

I feel for him...torn achilles, torn hamstring now torn ACL. That's just rough.

I'm sure he's thinking he should have taken the Pels offer 2yrs/$40 a year ago.

Now it's legit to question if he'll ever substantially come back.  Doubtful these injuries aren't related in some way.

Actually sad.  I'm rooting for him to get back.

Have you noticed that a bunch of Kentucky dudes have just gotten wrecked up..

Rose

Wall

Cousins

Calipari is..

 

[AHF]

Rose isn't a Kentucky guy, fwiw.

Oh that’s right. I think I got him being coached by Cal confused because Cal has been a fixture at Kentucky almost as long as Ashley but not that close

Heh, I just read that the Lakers may be interested in Dwight Coward.  Headline was "Lakers Seriously Interested in Dwight Howard".

It should've read ... "Lakers Interested in Dwight Coward?  Seriously?"

That shirt with Kobe and Dwight mud wrestling with attitude in Purple vs Gold loincloths no doubt. 5.6 million dollars worth of shirts am guessing.
