    all of that sounds good except about the identifying as white part

    :Laugh:

    This must mean you're an Asian hung like a horse

    :ADnaughty:

    Let's try to be more modest on the board shall we?

    I want Jerami Grant but two firsts is steep. One is fair.

    it's about pride for him. if he ends up at the mle after turning down 2/48 from gs, that stings. if he gets more guaranteed money AND starts for a team better than gs, he comes out looking good.

    Let Dallas have him. I was down for Klay at MLE only.

    lol, have to see how it happens. but again, you have to factor lebron in here. if he's taking a big pay cut to make this happen, and he knows you can, and you don't...then what? what if this is how he keeps from sending out future unprotected picks for middling players?

    i have to know what's been said and what's possible before i get mad.

    The Knicks just gave out 5 FRP for Bridges. Two picks is very reasonable. His contract is going to be a bargain in 2 years.

    what if we move dlo and a protected 1st for kessler, then absorb klay? do the extra years on the contract bother you that much?

    and like i said above--how do you explain to lebron that klay's salary three years from now is what prevented you from doing it?

    i don't love it, either, but if you think rich paul literally saying to the press that lebron would take a cut for klay wasn't very intentionally applying pressure, i don't know what to tell you. this is another lebron move.

    bridges is better and 5 years younger. the other thing is that the knicks core is young, so they can be more comfortable sending out future picks.

    i do think the bridges deal was something of an overpay, too, though.

    Let Dallas have him but ACT like you REALLY wanted him too, but couldn't pull off a trade in time. Darn. Sorry King. We'll work on a better move for the team now.

    Doesn't seem smart to give Klay 4 years and 70 mil. Pure lunacy.

    Man you KEEP slandering Jerami Grant for some reason. Grant is two years older than Bridges, and there isn't some large degree of separation between the two at all. Definitely not some kind of big gap that you be trying to hype. 2 picks is a reasonable request IMO.

    Maybe Randle is available at the right price

    seems like a solid parent too

    I don't mind Derozan at the MLE. Take him over Klay at 4 for 70.

    I don't love the idea of giving Klay 4 years, but the situation changes if most of that money is coming out of Lebron's pay cut. In that case, I'm all for it.

    I watched it live on the show, wasn't from that clip-out. Its possible I misheard about Lakers, but he definitely mentioned the money.
