To be fair, you obviously care a whole lot, contrary to this recent, self proclaimed "IDGAF" stance you've taken recently. Probably why people think it will be hard for you to step away from it.


And before you exit stage right, you should know that you have the knowledge and writing skills to be referenced in the same breath as the Lowe's and Elhassan's of the bball writers world. However, you have a very unlikable internet persona (real life could be different as I dont know you personally). Less autocratic and contemptous and maybe more modest and genial. I truly think you could climb the ranks if you so desired. Just know none of the greats truly retire

For example, is Golden State the new tree NBA teams will start picking from? Yeah they're the defending champs, but their original plan was to build around CP3 and Tyson Chandler, not Steph. They got lucky that CP3 didn't want to go to GS and that Curry got over his ankle problems and became a living cheat code.


Schlenk would be a great start. Gyno was on him before I was, way back in 2013. Dude has been an up and comer and has gotten attention for awhile now and hasn't left GS. I have to think if he's leaving, this is the offseason. I hope it is us.

I'm just not sure our organization has that kind of vision. I'm scared of a Dumars type.

I don't totally disagree here. If MM could get more of Lowe's personality he could go far.

If you guys listen to Lowe closely, he hates all the internet people as much as I do, maybe more. He always takes vague shots at them. How they know so little, how they are annoying "truthers", etc.

He just doesn't go at them directly because he makes his living doing this. Believe me, if this was paying my bills, I would smile and act modest and likeable too. But if you think that Lowe thinks that you all are on par with him, he has you fooled.

They all think they know more and that the internet is full of stupid trolls, they just are incentivized not to say as much. But listen to Lowe's pod closer. He says it in very vague ways.

Start paying me, and watch how likeable I become.

What is your basis in thinking:

Schlenk
or
The Sac trade

have any basis in reality? Both would be pretty great.

Either way, this is stupid. Instead of talking about me - how about a few other people throw their bold predictions out there?

Could be fun. Go for it!

Bold predictions:

Demps sticks through the season and we slump along close to the 8th seed.

Demps is fired, we hire Dumars.

We attempt to trade EG and have no takers and let him expire. He signs elsewhere.

We package our first round pick with Asik to dump him.

Our big offseason move is Batum.

We are an 8th seed again next year.

Mac, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Glad I could get a rise out of the king Mormon prima donna though.

Bold Prediction - We do some dumb shite in the offseason and I say that I'm done with the team and then I get excited for the season to start and then after 10 games I'm like man frick this team I'm out and then I keep watching the rest of the season.

Now thats bold because it appears incredibly unlikely right now.

How does he get it? Via FA, trade, or draft?

Bold Predictions:

One game in the future Tyreke's brain will not explode during a key late game situation.

Asik will have a 15 pt/15 rebound game.

Norris Cole will play 5 consecutive smart minutes of basketball.

EG and Tyreke will finish above 53% from 0-3 ft fg attempts. Tyreke will dunk.

AD will miss 5 or less games the rest of the way.

We take the Spurs to 6 games in round 1 of the playoffs.

We get a 2nd star by resigning Anderson and playing a 2 PF starter but switch up personnel to match with AD or Ryno
