Yeah, he is off the board. Not that we would be picking in the top 10 anyway.....

I would rather a new GM wait a season to gauge the market and find the right fit, rather than hire someone quickly. If not, you can be stuck like the Lakers with a coach that doesn't suit the team. Plus I want Gentry to transition to the front office. He is adored around the league and is being abus...

I think this really depends on the GM and if he has someone immediately in mind. If not, give the new GM a chance to get his bearings and do a good search. Gentry is a good stopgap and can navigate us through the reset year. Once the young core is set, bring in a new coach to continue the build and ...

James is very close to being a billionaire and will be one very soon. Forbes has his annual income at almost 90M a year and he has his hands in everything. He has the marketing company and his agency, that has almost a dozen players now and is growing fast. He has multiple tv shows and is in line fo...

[quote]Dirk is a hall of famer capable of leading a bunch of role players to a championship. [/quote] I know Jason Kidd was way past his prime, but it still sounds odd to call one of the top 5 greatest PGs of all time a role player and an after thought. I mean if Kobe came out of retirement, only...

I think we will get good value regardless. But I don't think Irving resigns in Boston. If he leaves, I don't know if Davis is still a target, especially at the expense of Tatum. Boston can build around their current depth and have enough assets to snatch one of the top players in the draft (Morant)....

The guy wrote me and promised to send the money by March the 1st. So I might not have to go through with anything. But I appreciate all the advice.....

Tatum really showed out last night. I don't know how long Irving is going to be out. But he is exhibiting those Alpha type of traits and looks like someone to build around. With how flakey Irving is, does Boston just focus on keeping Tatum and building around him? Hayward is coming on too. I really ...

What is Brolin's best performance? Top 3?...

Brolin is just way overrated on here. People point to Sicario, where is the 4th lead, or NCFOM, where he is the 3rd. They are great movies, but he doesn't carry them. He is a great character actor that has some good movies lately. Butler is a leading actor. He makes a lot of bad movies, but he is th...

I will see your Sicario and raise you with 300.. ...

Butler is probably a better leading man. Brolin has been a lot more better movies. But rarely is he ever the lead and hardly ever turns in the best performance. I looked over his movie list and nothing really stands out. Brolin has also been active almost twice as long, so that has to be taken into ...

Anybody say Scott Adkins yet? He is a B movie guy, but has paid his dues. Plus they can get really extreme with the action stuff.....

So Davis and Irving win a ring in '20 and you guys struggle to make the playoffs. How is that a good thing for the Lakers?...

It has helped foster the new mindset, where a team can have multiple max players. They way the salary structure was constructed, every team was only supposed to have one max level player, maybe two if they were both lower years of service. Vets taking lower contracts and short, minimum deals to win ...

Thank you. That helps a lot. I will look into this.. ...

A few months ago, I moved to Georgia, from Texas. My former land lord hasn't returned my security deposit. When I emailed him, he said that he just doesn't have the money and will pay me when he can. That was a month ago, so now I'm thinking I might have to sue him for it. The problem is, it isn...

Yeah, people don't seem to get that Loomis is a part owner and runs business operations. The business is running great. He isn't to blame for any of this and he isn't going anywhere. As much as I hate to say it, I think that Demps and Gentry should get another year. Demps has done all the leg wo...

I am a bit more realistic, losing Davis is going to hurt. Even with two top 15ish picks, some trade pieces and a ton of cap space, we are still going to be a very bad team next year. If we are smart we stockpile future picks, focus on developing talent and spend wisely. That is all in direct opposit...

All you really have to do is watch Duke play. Williamson just jumps off the screen. Beside his size, he is just super explosive and has freakish athleticism. That type of thing transfers to the pro game and will make him special. You can't teach or develop what he has.. ...
