Kris dunn is 23 years old

My concern over Dunn was never his age. Well, I guess his development curve is related to his age....

He is good as a defensive PG, legit maybe in the top tier in the league. Problem is "defensive point guard" is not very valuable.

I will not say "gently caress you" for calling Tyler Lydon a nerd, he is a major dork, but I had fun watching his college games, it was like high school, everyone constantly cheered for him, and he hit some great shots and had some really nice moves.

I will root for him because I'm assuming he's the son of John Lydon and no I absolutely will not listen to factual evidence that disproves it

Did anyone ask him why they sold their loving pick? I mean you're one of the most profitable organizations in the league.

Also why the gently caress did they not move Rondo for a salary dump?

Voltes V: "Laser swooooooooord!"

That's being pretty unfair to Aldridge. He's getting completely poo poo on because of his awful postseason performance, and deservedly so, but he was a consistent and reliable performer during the season.

He is a weird dude though. Whines about playing center, whines about not being The Guy and loving collapses like a bitch in critical playoff games.

How does selling the pick give flexibility? Trading it for a future pick might. But selling it gives them nothing.

I think that's one of those "technically correct" things as they stopped negotiating before either side had a complete offer.

Anyway, hitch your fandom to Jimmy B and come up to a game. I'll buy you a beer, and the seat prices are probably going to rocket up to $12.

One of the cool things about League Pass is seeing the ticket offers that teams have. When the Wolves had Rubio/Love/Pek I remember some offer that was like, two tickets, a t-shirt, a pizza, and a drink for $20

Also did the Bulls Forget that thrashing they did of Thibs when they fired him.

They weren't very effing professional then.

There's a reason that most people who win the Lottery end up broke or dead.

Getting lucky doesn't mean poo poo if you don't have the skills to take advantage of it.
