    yeah, i don't think khmr was s***ting on him for the 50/40/90 going away, but it is important to remember that our UDFA 2nd year player was doing that until this week. along with just being a competitor on both ends all the time.

    it's ok to appreciate guys who help out even if they aren't budding stars or something. reaves is never going to be an allstar. that's ok. he contributes to winning basketball that is fun to watch. love him. give me lebron/AD and 6 versions of reaves and i give you a ring.

    A great bit similar (overall but different) value wise to what Caruso was as a really smart glue guy.

    Jeez Austin now you know how Russell Crowe got annoyed in Gladiator. Were they not entertained with your 25 points and that insane left handed behind the back assist? Guess you’re only as good as your last free throw miss. Hey AD choked on his 2nd one too for the game winner. Tough crowd. :D

    Off and on. As a sophomore undrafted NBA player that is understandable. He still is my 1st reason I’m still watching this mediocre team, the return of dominant AD a close second.

    Breaking news: it's not going to be Reaves (who is Reeves, anyway?), but it is going to be Max Christie.

    Yeah if it’s Reaves I’m pretty much done. Wth? Why not Nunn and Bev and a second for Fournier and Cam?

    So... we trade our 3rd best player for their 3rd worst player while also giving up a 2nd round pick?

    LOL

    Parody? I think that word is being used rather loosely. Do you mean -- it's full of crap?

    For real. f*** Rob and the whole organization if that happens. After the Muscala "blockbuster" nothing will surprise me though.

    yeah, given recent history, i would be worried that we'd just dump christie. i think reaves has done too much already, though.

    i'd move him AFTER i moved two firsts, which we've already established is NOT something that interests me.

    huge reaves fan, but it was rough watching the C Bags just get him isolated and score for the entirety of overtime.

    He lacks strength and athleticism but at least he never does anything stupid out there like some others.
