    Yes, they did.

    As I was walking tonight, I thought about a trade we had back in 2014: we traded Steve Blake for Marshon Brooks and Kent Bazemore.

    We didn't keep any of those guys after the season, but we got to audition them, and depending on what happens these next couple weeks, those might be the sort of transactions I would be looking for if I'm the Lakers.

    Yeah, but GS is 32-13 and number 1 in the West.

    We're floundering below .500 and on the cusp of a coach being fired, a possible locker room mutiny, and a divided FO.

    But hey, let's be happy GS lost and that will justify our horrible play.

    Don’t say that. It might be too much of a fine and then they won’t have any money to sign Stanley Johnson. :Vogelshocked:

    Maybe if he paid attention to more about basketball instead of social injustice t-shirts, he might win more? Or am I being obtuse?

    "Beating a crappy team is better than losing against crappy team" counts as optimism these days. It has my seal of approval.
