Official Around The NBA Thread......Septiembre

So, Luol Deng has been waived by the Lakers.

If we didn’t have like 10 guards/wings, he might be a good backup option at SF.

There's literally no one on our roster at his position I'd buy out to give him a spot though...we can really only upgrade via trade at this point.

Year after year, we accidentally fall into this problem of an overfull roster. Poor Olshey is unlucky to have landed in Portland, where no decent player would ever voluntarily move, so he has to stock up long in advance.

Sure, I understand how Paul Allen wants to save money, but employing Olshey for 3 weeks per year is cutting it a little too closely. The last week of June and the first week of July, plus a week of giving quarter-long interviews to ruin Summer League for fans trying to watch on TV, is Allen's method of funding his yacht crew payroll.

Dumb post. We had 14 players last year.

C'mon @jlprk. You can't make it any more obvious.

You guys read "year after year" as "one half-season." Olshey passed up good late cuts because he had pre-decided that Baldwin would take the spot in mid-season. So in his mind, the roster was full at 14.

He pre-decides roles and roster spots, and is inflexible about letting nature take its course (e.g. trading the valuable guy he plans to cut a year later). Virtually nothing changes between each draft. I have gotten into the habit of waking up in mid-June, then snoozing for 11 months with a few token posts here. Sorry if I've lost some sharpness. I am bored out of my skull by the Olshey Era.

No, year after year means year after year, and last year we didn't have 15 players almost the entire year. It was in response to us not having enough roster spots available. Last year we did all season, as WB took Vonlehs 14th spot. So you were wrong haha.

Year after year means over and over. Just because he missed a year doesn't mean that he doesn't do something repeatedly.

Year after year means repeadetly. He didnt repeat it last year so how cam it be year after year? It cant. Youre wrong fams.

Tell that to a caveman who rubbed sticks to start a fire every winter between 20,000 BC and 19,996 BC, but who hasn't done it since. He did it year after year. Even he knows English better than you.

Olshey missed only one year in his year-after-year pattern. The pattern still holds, since he resumed it. Therefore, Olshey is worse than a caveman.

One more example to help you. Pull down your pants. Look closely at your lace underwear. Notice that after each little hole, the pattern resumes. Hole after hole, the fabric of the reality continues, eon after eon. Just because one hole is missed doesn't mean the hole-after-hole pattern ceases. Thus, too, is Olshey's time continuum, year after year, as it shall ever be.

Oh, but see, you said he did it year after. Past-tense. You were talking about a situation in the present tense. Does the caveman know the intricacies of English? Because apparently you do not. We are not in a "year-after-year" of full roster pattern, because even if we have a full roster this year, it's not after a year of a full roster. Its not full roster year after full roster year, as it's a full roster year after an non-full roster year.

You're failing at your own schtick. I'm beating you at your own game.

There has to be something we can do at the trade deadline, right? If Minnesota struggles?

The French are really comfortable in blue uniforms...Nico and Tony have a long history of playing for team France..they just need to sign Boris Diaw now and complete the trio

I'm sure they will leap at the chance to swap Evan Turner for KAT or Butler.

Yeah I'm surprised he hasn't made any real tweaks to his mechanics since college.

Has really struggled to shoot early in his career.
