Was Mayo considered a superstar prospect at the front of his career? I feel like I seen folks call him the "greatest high school player of all time" but eh not a great memory on me

I think he was right until he went to USC, then the shine started to fade. He was also a year older IIRC. There's a story where he, unsolicited, coldcalled Tim Floyd and told him he was going to USC.

Dallas Mavericks: Generations

AfterFather posted:

Donnie Nelson is only doing what ownership wants. The Mavericks really need to be called out on their poo poo drafting along with their terrible track record in free agency. After Dirk is gone we're back to 90's status around here.

He had a top-15 all time player for his whole career and the best free agency signing was Dampier. He should be fired. At some point job performance has to be a factor.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

What do they even sell at an A&W restaurant? Root beer burgers? French fries fried in root beer?

Mediocre burgers. Well, I mean the burgers are probably ok by fast food standards but mine is right next to a Wendy's and a Carl's and the later is the superior fast food burger choice so why even bother

Unless they have all changed to be like WhyteRice's local establishment, they are great for root beer floats that they keep on tap and serve in large, very well frosted mugs.

Look I love In-N-Out. But I love other fast food burgers. Each is strong on their own merits. As much as I love a Double Double animal style, I also like whatever $6 Dollar Burger monstrosity Carl's Jr. is selling. Or some spicy nuggets and a Frostie at Wendy's. Or nostalgia at McDonald's.

They have pretty good burgers and they serve root beer in frosted mugs. Better than you'd think.

That seems about right. Okay I found a lil E:60 where they start off saying "he's as good a prospect as LeBron James" and talk about the red flags

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

The Lakers are still currently 27 million under the salary floor with two roster spots remaining. I think they'll have some cap space next year.

Surround Simmons with combo guards who can (theoretically) shoot.

I don't get Vlade. If you're chasing Dion Waiters then you're hoping that he turns into Jerryd Bayless type role player. So why not go with Jerryd instead for a cheaper price tag
