if harmon and green are gone, trade back for a stupid team that wants to come up and draft a qb.

kmet is a very average tight end who is overrated by chicago media. let us not forget, much of the chicago media had the bears winning "at least 9" games the last TWO seasons. including their announcer saying "i dont see less than 11 wins on the schedule" two years ago. the bears are always overrated. they will be again this year.

kat is a pussy. they really miss stew.

cade cant finish. brunson can. hardaway misses a wide open three. brunson finishes. game over.

knicks are carving them up.

you guys might want to....make a basket at some point.

early doubles on cade.

a white out? come on. that's somebody else's thing. do your own thing.

that's horrific.

i thought draymond nudged him and he lost his balance. i dont think anyone was at fault there. just bad timing. however, draymond has been a real menace this series. he's unhinged and is going to hurt somebody. laimbeer was a whiny baby and way too physical sometimes, but everyone played that way in the 80s. draymond is a whole different kind of crazy.

and then datsyuk and zetterburg in the late late rounds years later. we should have known that was unsustainable. the hockey gods took their revenge with late stage kenny holland.

how about the 1989 draft? i miss when we had such a scouting advantage over every other team.

ummmm...marvin bagley? trading for the worst player in the nba in james wiseman? if they had hired charles lee or whomever weaver had wanted to hire they would have won 25 games instead of 14 or whatever god awful amount they finally did. the man ruined this franchise as much as tom gores did. do him and joe sit around and talk about all the crappy moves they made in detroit? "you think wiseman was bad? i had the most cap space in the league and signed charlie villaneuva and ben gordon!" "wait wait, you thought that was rough, i drafted killian hayes with a lottery pick!" "ummmm....darko over bosh, carmelo, and wade?" "ok, you win." "i dont know, man. you hired monty williams." "yeah, but you hired michael curry!"

that's a nice way of him skirting around writing the obvious: towns is a pussy. teams have been doing this off and on to towns for years. he has never - NEVER - tried to beat it by sitting his ass in the post and punishing the smaller guy. ever. last season's playoffs were the same thing. kat is one of the most talented guys in the league, but he's the soft big man. until he gets mad and decides to dominate, he'll never be a champ. reminds me of chris webber or early lebron. remember lebron against dallas in the finals when they put a 5'10 guard on him and he STILL wouldnt post him up? because he was a pussy, still deferring to dwyane wade. remember the next year when they played boston and lebron put 50 up in the garden? when he told wade to get the **** out his way? that's when lebron turned the corner. when kat parks his ass in the paint and tells brunson to get him the ****ing ball, we'll be in trouble. hopefully he never realizes just how good he can be. i'll take brunson beating me, but if kat figures it out, the knicks are going to be a much much much better team. i hope he stays a sleeping giant forever. or at least until the knicks trade him.

which is why you dont abandon it.

they already have one in seattle. abandoning a market like dallas has reprecussions too, especially in short term loss of revenue.

the lions cant afford trey hendrickson after this year. not unless you want to let hutch walk. and they cant afford micah parsons either. its much more likely they let jamo walk after next year and collect the comp pick. the lions arent going to be in the position to be handing out big free agent deals after next year. their roster is too talented to sign everyone. theyve entered the phase where they will be relying more and more on cheap talent through the draft because their roster is about to be very pricey. i'd be stunned if they re-signed jamo. they still have branch, laporta, kirby and hutch to extend. those guys all seem to embody lions "grit" more than jamo, who appears to be more trouble than he's worth. still better than drafting lewis cine...

i understand that, but from a league perspective you dont move a franchise from the 4th (soon to be 3rd) largest city in america to las vegas. i know what happened in seattle but the league acknowledges that was a mistake AND it had to do with arena issues. does dallas have arena issues? i dont think so. but to your point, if they DID want to sabotage the team, trading away your #1 asset for a pile of magic brow beans is a good way to do it.

they'll be getting a good chunk of his money for 18 years. well....their mommas will be getting a good chunk of that money. lets just hope they put some of it askde for the future. lol. who am i kidding?

i would love to trade ras too, but who would want him? he's a passenger on most nights. aimlessly skating around and not doing much of anything but being big and occasionally getting in the way. but i guess if there was an organization dumb enough to give justin holl 3×3 there's probably someone dumb enough to take rasmussen for a late round pick.

well, he certainly is one of the biggest dicks in the nba.

kane was one of their better players this year and a big reason why debrincat got 39 goals and their power play was one of the best in the league. i dont see why next year would be any different. if they let him go i see it as the same as letting ghost walk and then bringing in the walmart version in gustafsson. if youre replacing kane with ehlers, that's one thing (although they are very different players), but if youre just moving up berggren or bringing in another $2m washed up reclamation project then youre better off with kane. speaking of ehlers, do we really need to spend $8m on a smallish winger who has trouble playing 70 games a year and is about to be 30? it will tell me what type of team you want to be. do you want to be big and "hard to play against"? if so, you dont sign ehlers. sign ehlers if you want to play with speed and possession.

look, i come not to bury tobias harris but to praise him. but every time we brought up kat this year we all laughed about what a soft pansy ass he was and said we cant wait to see him play weak in the playoffs. and now that its happened - just like it happens every year - you say "what a great job by harris on kat." i mean, sure. but we all know - and YOU know - that kat is a pansy. that's why jb putting harris on him works. not because harris is bad or because harris is a lockdown defender, but because KAT IS A PUSSY. he wont post him up and wont be aggressive. i dont want to take anything away from harris. he's a soldier doing yeoman's work. he IS playing against a guy who is 4 inches taller and 50 pounds heavier and he's staying with him. that says something. and he stepped up when stew got hurt. harris has been a good teammate all year. he's been professional. he plays hard and not dumb. but he's still tobias harris. he's a 4th option forced to be a 2nd or 3rd option because ivey is hurt. and that's ok. he is what he is and right now he's contributing to a team that just stole home court. let's all be happy.

gavrikov is a legitimate top 4 defenseman who would help. but you have to overpay him to get him out of LA. even with that, its much more plausible than marner. i think they have a legit LW to play on the top line with larkin/raymond: marko kasper. go get your dman to push chairot to 3rd pair where he will be good. bring up danielson and mazur. buy out tarasenko. let berggren walk. bring back kane on a $4m deal. get gavrikov for $6 and tavares for $7. kasper-larkin-raymond debrincat-tavares-kane soderblom-copp-rasmussen mazur-compher-danielson gavrikov-seider edvinsson-johansson chairot-buium holl/gustafsson (whichever one you dont cut)
