kid probably isn't a take, but he's seriously underrated, IMO:

from Milwaukee, we offered a long time ago, probly a Chester kid

This is exactly the kind of kid who winds up killing us for 4 years after signing for another B1G team.

Do you guys think that $2m bag is a real or inflated number?

I’ll take the under.

LOL! You need to be a writer for SNL to make it great again.

Good stuff!

Yes, “Deep Thoughts” lol

Still insane to me that Kofi could have played this year. Obviously it would have changed a bunch of things would have changed but can you imagine if you plugged Kofi into this elite 8 team.

Imagine Domask initiating with Kofi in the dunker spot while also having Shannon and Coleman.

Ad Dee Brown and you take the ship.

Very soon

Welcome back, sir. A wild @combes sighting is always a reason to celebrate!

Agree! Welcome back, @combes ! You’ve been missed…

 

[jezzadownunder]

I like the sound of this! Refreshing for that Sun Night commitment!

 

[Sedino]

Very soon

I have considered my actions, and after deep reflection, I have decided that I owe the board and every person on it an apology! I did not consider how problematic my tongue-in-cheek "Boom" would be. when I flippently posted it. I merely thought that I was being clever and adding a moment of levity while we waited for the next legitimate "boom". I apologize for sullying the sacredness of the "boom" Please forgive me for my grossly inappropriate use of a GIF.

You're a funny guy. It's you know..funny. How you tell a story and everything.

Tomislav Ivisic is nearly done. Then I think they have a decent (not great) shot at one of the top wing targets.

Expect a backup guard type from the portal as well. Someone cheap.

Egor Demin seems out of price range. Still trying.

Trending toward being a 10ish seed quality of roster if no Demin, top wing, or top SG.

Have to wonder who all the money went to if they aren’t leading contenders for any of the top options left in the portal.

Thanks for the update.

Bummer about Demin, but I’m excited about Tomislav!
