Props to you guys for being classy about it.

I ain't even mad though, considering I always expect stuff like this to happen.

I really hope he's all right though.

Davis should at least bring some better D than Blake. I still say put Lebron at the 4.

CP3/Deron
Kobe/YNB/Harden
Durant/Iggy
Lebron/Melo/Davis
Chandler/Love

I don't understand why the Bobcats would want Humphries. He brings losing culture which helps the tank, but the Cats are already filled with it while his talent could hurt the tank.

Scola was amnestied.

Now 2/3 of the players who Demps would have given up CP3 for have been released by their team and the 3rd is Kevin Martin who is terrible now and is being desperately shopped.

I read that. Hopefully Gar reads it too. I would have gone with a different title, more along the lines "Grow a fucking pair, its required if you want to win this thing".

Letting Dragic just walk. Drafting 3 redundant players. Dealing Lowry for a mid first rounder. Amnestying Scola.

Everyone could benefit from getting a player like Scola. You have no clue what you are talking about. He might be the best lowpost scorer there is right now. Nobody saw it coming or you can bet teams like the Spurs would have saved their exceptions.

He didn't have a ton.

Using the amnesty on him isn't that big of a deal. He still counts towards the floor if they don't get Dwight and if they do get Dwight then it makes it easier to sign other guys

1. Giving Dragic a 4 year is dumb. Dumb for PHX and would have been dumb for HOU

2. They aren't redundant if they aren't all on the roster when the season starts

3. Characterizing the Lowry trade as for a "mid first rounder" is inaccurate

4. Amnestying Scola is a tough pill to swallow but a small price to pay if Howard is the payoff

I hope you guys end up 4th or 5th in the draft. I don't want such stupid management to be rewarded. Keep hoping for Howard, when you have nothing to offer and he'd be bitching about how crappy the Rockets are.

1. Yeah, not like he avged 18/8 on crazy % for you guys, i'm sure it'll take you less than 20 years to find a player with those numbers.

2. Yeah, like they have any value of sort at that point.

3. Lottery protected. Sure, it might be something later, you might feel better about losing your 2 PGs.

4. Sure, i'm sure that helps a ton. Better than dealing Scola for a pick or two even.
