    I say this to myself every time I watch him play.
    That has turned into a really bad trade for them.

    Then bring him on as an assistant. His days of helping out a playoff team have long been gone.
    And he’s one of the most unlikeable players out there.

    One of the reasons I’m moving.
    House is officially on the market.

    I’m with hacked. If that was for real screw him anyway for that crap all year and as long as it’s been going on. Especially considering all the opportunity we gave his son both as a player and as a coach. Unless something went down regarding Coby that absolutely none of us know about. To go on Twitter/X, as Wino mentioned, and not allow any comments back … just spew and hate, doesn’t get erased that easily.

    I hope one thing the front office focuses on over the next 2 offseasons is to lock in some young quality players for longer term deals (4+ years).

    The salary cap will jump on the new media deal and longer term contracts at today’s salaries will allow for more cap space to build a quality team with depth in 2028.

    The Vando and Reaves deals are excellent examples of $13 mil/season in 2028 will be like a player with a $7 million cap hold. Even if DLo re-signs on 4 year/$80 million ($20 mil/seadon) in 3 seasons that’s going to be the mid level exception.

    I left long ago and have been happy about that decision ever since. Nice to visit once in awhile, but otherwise, don't miss it a bit.

    The jump in injuries comes on the heels of the league office championing the new Player Participation Policy that saw star players play more in the regular season, but most of that uptick in player health was front-loaded in October and November. Injuries have been piling up, and the postseason grind has done little to abate the late-season crumbling.


    It's another proof that load management is bool****

    Well, I don't want to digress into political comments, but the actual facts are that more people are leaving California than coming to it now. It has been going on for the past 3 years, spurred by Covid and appears to be gaining steam.

    The thing that gets me about California and I am sure the players see it too. Everyone here thinks that most other places completely suck, even though they are stuck in traffic, pay 4 times the money for their house and more than likely are living in partial fear due to the ever increasing crime rates and homelessness in and around their neighborhood. Who here will let their young child walk a couple of miles to the store anymore?? We used to do stuff like that all the time.

    To me all the above is true about what has been done to the state from decisions in Sacramento. But have always loved living here for the weather and ease of doing whatever you want within short drives. Big mountains with winter sports, lakes and the ocean. But damn the weather it seems like most everywhere else vast per centage of country is luck of the draw with terrible events each year. Arctic temperatures, floods, blizzards and of course the increasing quantities of stronger hurricanes and tornados. One day where you live is fine, next is just "gone" or wrecked. Of course we have the earthquakes but they're usually far between and so far though scared at the time for sure, so far knock on wood no real damage.
