So someone named Paul Watson got waived?   I thought I saw his nameplate next to Kevin's locker as he did his interview... lol

Call me crazy I have Trae at a 92 rating based on what he’s doing. Statistically he’s off the charts to be at 90.

Yeah the team clearly needs functional (on court, sorry Vince!) veteran leadership. I still think Schlenk made a huge mistake letting Baze, Dedmon, and prince go in the same offseason and bringing in unknowns. I'm not saying he should've kept all three of them, but you can't let that much veteran leadership go at once and maintain any continuity from last season. 

Baze was moody and didn't want to be here. Prince has been terrible, Dedmon... I'll give you Dedmon; made no sense not to bring him back even at his current salary.

No that’s not it. There’s a guy in Dallas who olé on defense and he’s a 96. There’s more to it.

I'm talking more about veteran locker room presence that can also lead by example on the court. You can't let all of those guys go in one offseason, replace them with worse players, and then expect to pick up where you left off.

Double down on that when 2 of your 3 projected best players are out or hampered by injury for most of the early part of the season.  Formula for a rough start.

Yes, since Blake's surgery, Sekou has been back with Pistons.

For those interested, I believe Tacko Fall is coming to College Park Sunday for a 2pm game against the skyhawks.  I made the trek to the Omni to see Andre the Giant.  Seems like i have to go to this one.

I'm glad he's okay...but when I first saw the headline, i thought he was traded, don't judge me, lol.

I don't know where the accident was, but drivers always have to be extra cautious around North Druid Hills Road. Way too frequent scenes of wrong-way drivers accessing the Interstate and cars jutting across 5/6 lanes of traffic to exit a retail driveway.

Glad he's in good hands at Emory.

I saw the last part of the info on the NBA tv ticker. ".I'm like oh.nooo... then, oh"

Don't judge me  either.
