Is that an acceptable descriptive term now? Can we all start using that in front of our names? Asking for a friend.

I'm not saying any of those things. I literally noted that that was what the timing made it seem like in my first post. It's irrelevant to my main argument that we could still use another guard.

That's not at all how I view it. Of course I'm happy with the retention and I wouldn't trade it for 2 Blackwells. I just don't understand the pivot from a top five portal player to "nah, we're good". And I understand it was him, not us, that backed off. Not everyone in the portal thinks they're...

What I don't understand is how we went from: We're willing to spend millions on Blackwell, which would be the knockout punch that makes us a very likely preseason #1. To: We're good. Don't need to solidify the guard spot at all or use all/any of that money that we have available. Even though...

Those numbers are almost, but not quite, as painful as 75-70.

Now that's he's made a name for himself, it's probably in Misko's best interest to spread his guys out and have each of them be the top dog (or one of the 1 or 2 top dogs) on their own team. Bundling just lowers his overall take.

This was nearly inevitable. If there's any profession where loyalty is a detriment, it's sports agents. He'll muck things up as much as he thinks is necessary to get what he wants for his players and himself. Highest bidder is probably his only concern. Gotta strike while the iron is hot.

Did you mean to type "I'm Hamer"? Drunk confession? Mystery solved?

Wonder what they call it. Hurley's Surlys? Izzy and the Stooges? Scream III?

I haven't read the whole thread (because I just can't put myself through that) but DJ F@*%head needs to be fired. That held ball call (attempted call) can only be described as so egregious that he: 1) doesn't understand the rule, or 2) was so eager to screw us that he got caught up in a...

I don't get this. Sure, we could lose, but: They just lost a top 6 guy in their rotation for the season. All eyes are on them for cheap shots. They're coming off 2 losses where they didn't look unbeatable by any stretch. We're coming off of 2 great road wins against top 5 teams, playing as well...
