    Perfectly logical reason to hate someone.

    Also hate him for his TmZ instagraming Snapchat loving ways.

    The bright side he's finally going to play his natural position of SG thanks to Ball!

    Here is the overview of our future picks. I know a few were asking earlier



    Happy for Luke. We're getting closer to getting the players he needs to be successful

    Jesus you come out and admit it now. Yeah no wonder you're always shipping him off as quickly as possible. Again, maybe he's not the greatest PG and certainly yakked way to much too soon but he's very talented and is by another zip code our finest 3 ball shooter. Unless BI takes care of that next year (he may) and Ennis and Clarkson too .... he is our only long ball shooter for decent average. Who cares, those guys grow on trees, right??

    :Nope:

    We also learned tonight that after all the dust has finally settled since we traded for Dwight, we only gave up Bynum (very soon to be broken) and (2) 2nd Round Picks.

    I know many were upset for not trading him and how he walked away and we got nothing, it was a shame. But after looking at what we really gave up at the end of the day, not bad.

    Steve Nash has cost the Lakers nothing.

    When we traded for Bynum he wasn't broken that last year but then that first year in PHI he went down hill fast

    As for the Nash trade, it hasn't been an issue when you consider:

    Who said "playoff contention"? I never said this tonight or anywhere on this forum for next year. Just displaying the facts up to this point on the Dwight and Nash trades. If anything I'm on the thought process that I don't think we'll be contending till after 2020 (when both Deng & Moz contracts come off the books) and we have more CAP space.

    But overall, we've been very lucky and fortunate to have not lost much, except for stress the last few years of whether or not we are keeping our picks. Safe to say its worked out great for us.

    I want Ball or Fox. And I'm ecstatic that we not only kept our pick but moved up a notch to number 2!

    So is Bynum done? He'd be smart to. I bet Yao and Greg Oden wish they had.
