    This is the thread where you say what you were wrong about. I'll start.

    I wanted to extend Crash for four years.

    I wanted to trade for Steve Nash.

    Next?

    I wanted to draft Oden

    I thought Kobe didn't like young boys.

    I thought a pickle was frog poop

    I did not want to extend Crash.

    I did not want to sign Steve Nash.

    I do not like green eggs and ham.

    I do not like them, Eric Mill-i-gan.

    This is our year.

    Last year was our year.

    The year before last was our year.

    The year before the last before that was our year.

    Is that one of those exotic names with two capital letters in different places? Like you threw like John Mill and Susie Egan got married and decide to concatenate their names?

    Dude, you amaze me sometimes. ;)

    Gramps...

    Agreed. Unfortunately, I have to spread it around more before I can rep Nate again.

    Wanted (still kinda want to) lock Oden up with a max extension. We'd have 4 years left on the deal.

    I would trade Mo for Nash in half a heartbeat, but I like the signing.

    I believed Dwight and thought he would be a model of Christianity in a sport known for the looseness of players' morals, especially on the road.

    Brian.... Oden is done. He couldn't even play one game before his knee swelled up.

    I thought Lillard was going to be improved on defense this year. Yikes.

    I was wrong about resigning Batum. He's not bad per se (he's actually decent), but in retrospect the Blazers probably should have let him go to Minnesota given the money they are paying him.

    The contract is actually good IMO we only overpaid him about 2 mil per but I will live with it if he can give us 2-3 triple doubles a season and give us around 15/5/5 night with good D.

    That's actually a bit of a myth. His defense has always been a lot more potential than production.

    Oh well, I'm not saying I hate that we have him, I'm just saying I don't think the investment is going to pay the dividends this team needs if it's serious about taking another step.
