    There is a lot to be upset with and I understand this is one of those things, but it isn't like we twiddled our thumbs completely. Nurkic could be a nice get plus we added another first rounder. I'd say maybe depending on how draft day goes if nothing happens/we draft poorly than unleash hell. For now relax and have fun :)

    I don't understand why people can't voice their displeasure on this board without people sitting there like "Dude. Breath. You're too low. It's not worth getting so salty about."

    I'm voicing my displeasure, and you don't agree. That's okay. Doesn't mean Im that worked up about it.

    What I actually said was I'm not gonna care about wins and losses anymore.

    PJ Tucker on his way back to Toronto, who drafted him about twenty years ago.

    LeBron stopper. Championship confirmed.

    They are still soooooo far in the red from the Harden trade that you can't make that statement for at least another 4-5 years.

    You just said how stupid we were for matching. Now you are saying it is stupid not to dump him if we want someone else instead?
    We lose nothing by matching Brooklyn, as long as we can get out if it. And I still believe we can.

    -Lebron wanted a playmaker and he has Gilbert by the balls.
    -Chicago has awful management, doesn't want to rebuild, but wants to get better. Turner is from Chicago and we can trade him for Rondo who has a shorter terrible contract.
    -Boston still likes him.
    -You have other teams in the league with 2-3 bad 6 million per year players, i rather split Turner's horrible contract up.

    If it is on the internet it must be true.

    You're right on there. I think most of us understood that fact.
    However, there was a loud vocal minority that was hell bent on applauding the moves last summer.... endless argument that it's much more beneficial to be way above the cap so you have contracts to trade. I hope they are seeing that overpaying for players is not beneficial to the team.

    I'm just saying man, people don't understand how bad Olsheys fuck ups in the summer have hurt us all because he couldn't let his draft picks get away in Meyers and Crabbe specifically and overpaying for Turner. I don't know what else they tried but it seems we just wanted to get rid of Ezeli. The defensive big you needed was sitting there all along at 22 years old and people like me and others here have been wanting that trade for months but whatever make up for it in the draft. I just absolutely despise Meyers, the Crabbe decision, he is inconsistent. I just don't know anymore. Never know what this organization will do

    Never said to dump Crabbe. I am saying paying him that amount of money has fucked us. Fact
