I have a bunch of friends who were in the bubble for 72 days working for TNT......they all flew home today and it was hilarious. Their posts on facebook were like they were finally getting out of prison.
I told them I'd get locked up for 2 months for 60k!!!
 


This has been our philosophy for years since Dame has gotten here and yet nothing works for us

Except Miami has pieced their team together with players that can shoot and play defense.

They also didn't have each of their players suffer injuries this season

Plus, they have superior coaching compared to us.
 
Jeramie Grant opt out...he is another one that will fit this Blazer team

Lebron probably recruited him already lol

Meyers Leonard is gonna get to the finals before Dame.

This is depressing

A great example of why pointing to peoples finals rings (or appearances) as a sign of individual value is often overrated. Having said that, Meyers appears to be about as ideal of a teammate for an 11th man as you can get. Dude is fully into the game, doesn't piss and moan, and wants the team to win even if it means he's not playing.

He wants to stay with Denver. They will let Millsap go and resign him

Plus, living in Miami is a much bigger draw to young single athletes. I believe this plays a huge factor.

You must really hate the Hornets GM. He took Malik Monk. And the Dallas GM took Dennis Smith Jr 9th.

Neil clearly wanted a big. Hence him drafting Collins. How do you grade the bigs you want by watching Collins one time and a behind the back pass that came to never exist over Bam Abedeyo. He’s a franchise changer and you blew it for Dame. That’s why I feel bad for Dame playing for an organization like ours
 
Nurkic could easily be Bam-like next year. He's already close. Ban and him cant play together. If we drafted Bam and Miami drafted Collins, a lot of people might be pissed that we didn't draft Zach.

??? With Nurk's injury problems Bam would have had plenty of chances to prove himself. You pick which one you want and trade the other. There is more than one way to get value out of an asset. Do you honestly think Collins has anywhere close to the trade value of either Nurk or Bam? Your argument is why we ended up with Webster instead of Chris Paul!

I understand the emotion, but this horse has been beat to death. At this point, nobody is going to change their mind on the subject and it is just rubbing both sides raw.

Perhaps I am having a senior moment, but wasn't Smith part of the package that landed Porzingas for Dallas? Even if the original selection was a mistake, I'd say the Mavs fixed the mistake quite nicely!

If Olshey could pull off a deal like that with Collins, I would be the first to praise him for it and permanently shut up about drafting Collins!

This dude got a youtube page now he’s a wannabe nba scout lol
 
I thought Olshey's philosophy was best player available. I don't think he went for the fit with Zach he just thought he is better than Bam, John Collins etc.
