    My boy got PAID!!! I'm happy for him...salute!

    :Beertoast2:

    I'm going to stay out of the scrum about overpaying and whatnot. I have sentimental attachments here.

    Moving forward tho...is Luka/Austin a championship caliber duo IMO? Man...based off of what I've seen so far?...No. Going into this season without Lebron?..absolutely Not.

    That being said...history is to be made..and we have no idea, what the team looks like on opening night yet. I will say this..Luka is on the clock..missing the playoffs next season will come with demerits. Not advancing in the playoffs comes with demerits. I have no problem giving him whatever he wants...NOW.

    He needs to produce a chip soon tho, or we are going to start ignoring his roster inputs, and if he doesn't like it, we'll be trading him eventually. Just like AD.

    Gotta win here Bro.

    Cleveland would be real stupid to give up anything besides Harden for LeBron IMO. We shall see though.

    Micah Nori should have had some self respect and told Portland to stick it.

    I didn’t want him here, he’s undersized, but man the west just gets tougher all the time

    feel like memphis bought to sell here; hoping they can squeeze a first out of someone at the deadline. worst case, they'll get some seconds back. and nobody's signing there, ever.

    Our big man situation is just absolutely embarrassing as currently constructed. Even teams like the Spurs who literally have Wemby on the roster are loading up on bigs they can play in different spots/fill different roles.

    Sigh…

    We’re gonna go the RFA route aren’t we. That’s two solid centers that went for peanuts.
