Bye LMA. I feel like you got unfair criticism but to find out you blame Pop and the system for your regressions? I guarantee he's envious of Kawhi as well. :byewhore: Be evil and include Tony Parker. Maybe some picks? I love him but Frenchman was always the least willing to sacrifice of the Big Three (and actually my least favorite member, Pop agrees and made him cry) and plus he hosed Brent Barry's wife. That's gotta break the Spurs Code, right? Think I found a loophole

now this isn't to say that Le-Vert isn't for sure a good ol' fashioned Pre-Vert (sic), but people watchin' is somewhat more Okay-er in NYC than in other spots, and you get nude by a window at your own risk because, especially during the summer, there's a good chance you'll look up and see a few dozen people attending a roof party using your nudeness for their entertainment

still I don't think I know anybody in the city with a telescope. There's wayyy too much light pollution in the city to be using it for looking at the stars lol

If Green is around I don't think you'll have problems figuring out defense with Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.

If Minny wants to be short sighted just trade PG for the #7 instead of going through San Antonio

LMA signed through next season with a player option the season after MAY be worth more than PG13 who has already told everyone he won't resign

PG wasn't nearly as effective playing at 2 or 4, though he can. Not ideal, though.

doesn't refusing to accept a trade for a massive set of assets look better to the player? Or are we assuming that he's already pissed off because he has to play next to Carmelo Anthony, the world's worst teammate

I would be pissed if I was supposed to be the cornerstone of the franchise and the dude who drafted me is aggressively trying to trade me out of spite because I skipped an exit interview and his feelings are more important than the future of the club.

Kawhi can play the 2 (he handles the ball a ton) or whatever. They'd be fine. Positionless basketball.

I feel like if PG got a coach he liked/respected he could become a great 4. Like how Lebron hated playing the four until Spo finally got him to do it and it ended up being so dominant. It doesn't really matter tho.

We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.



The biggest problem selling playing the 4 to PG in Indy was that Bird sold it to him as "I did this when I was old and hurt, and it was great!" No doubt Pop would have much more success, and drat that D with him and Kawhi on the floor would be crazy.

The Pacers were the 7th seed with almost everyone healthy.

Adding a big that's worse than George with all their wings leaving would make them better??

I was referring to Charlotte being the 4/5th seed, Indiana would be tanking in this scenario after flipping Aldridge to CHA (George going to San Antonio). Unclear since it was kind of following on my previous post

Not to mention an owner that doesnt give a gently caress about his org being run into the ground.
