Feel free to ramp up more but don't pad just to pad.  I don't think we'll need that.

If we stuck with it, I'd definitely keep an eye out for someone spamming posts just to hit the number which is why I'm not sure that post count is really the way to go.

Is the only way into the senior board to reach the 500 post minimum? Or can you physically be added by an admin?

Do you want to start a fight about nothing so we can get our post count up?

Haha might as well, seems like there’s an argument about nothing every other day on this board. Gotta love the off-season.

You could always head over to the lounge and just comment once on each thread. Good stuff over there.

I know smh. Between work and school there’s no way I can make 500 posts in time for even the draft!

Yeah that’s what I’m hoping. I don’t post much but I’ve been a hawks fan and Long time lurker on this site since the bud days!

This feels as good a time as any to start... Lol. Hi yall, been lurking for a while but haven't posted cause I'm shy, but saw the silly argument going on earlier and don't think I can do any worse.

I'll start by saying getting Simmons would be a home run move. As someone stated earlier, Trae was talking with more sympathy and love towards Ben in the podcast, so you've gotta think Trae still really wants to play with him. 

Simmons would instantly up our defense, give us one of the best transition players in the game, help up our pace of play, and everyone outside of him on the court will be able to shoot (assuming a Trae/Kevin/Simmons/JC/Okongwu lineup where Big O has learned how to shoot). 

His lack of mental toughness is overstated imo, if he gets out of the north east and into the south, I think he'll be met with a lot more kindness than he's used to and will be more comfortable and happy. And we all know how hard happy people work

Welcome!  Yeah it's hard to be the worst poster on here.  LOL.   I try sometimes. 

I've come around on Simmons and would love to have him.  Sounds like that's not an option though and i can't say i blame the Nets.   I'd want to see him and KD together before pulling the plug.
