Greg Monroe is probably the smartest player of free agency, for taking his option.
Houston got two of the best values in Nene at 3 and PJ Tucker at 7
The Warriors got Omri Casspi at 2

The overpaying backups so you can justify dumping good players award goes again to Stan Van Grundy, for giving Langston Galloway 7m/yr, trading Marcus Morris's 3 years of 5m for Avery Bradley's expiring 8m that will have to become 12 or 13m, drafting a Duke shooting guard, all so he could justify dumping Kentavious Caldwell Pope. It's like that boardgame mousetrap but the idea is to get your dick stuck in the mouse trap. What a fatso. What a big fat bowl of ravioli. What a loving stretched out pile of turtlenecks.

Detroit's season rests on the idea that drummond getting deviated septum surgery will let Drummond play defense, Reggie Jackson didn't Brandon Roy his knee, and that if he did, Van Gundy won't let him poison the team with his lack of effort and his wasting offensive possessions.

Van Gundy also made Stanley Johnson the de facto starting 3, which is great, because he's never going to cut his hair and we can watch him bust all season long.

I hate this team and I want to burn the franchise charter or whatever physical documents make it an NBA team.

The only thing that should be fun to watch are Tobias Harris isolations. Imagine that. I need to make sure I only take late classes so I can become a wolves or a nuggets fan.

I changed my mind about the 40.5 wins, I'm taking the under unless Stanley Johnson cuts or braids his hair and Reggie Jackson proves in preseason he isn't completely washed.

Yeah, Warriors aren't as hated now as first year Heat were, but Year 3 Heat were getting a lot less hate than this Year 3 Warriors team. I mean, adding Durant will do that I guess.

I mean I thought people were exaggerating when saying that houston was acting like a poor man's golden state by jacking up a million 3's but not being as good at hitting them, but them assembling a ball-fondling unit that still can't compete with Draymond really convinced me.

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.
Past me has great opinions, that I agree with to this day.

Draymond is a classic case of counting stats being valued over true contributions. Sure he racks up a lot of technicals but does his ball groping actually help his team
