    Minimal Viable Product is the real meaning of MVP. All others are just scrambling for 2nds.

    feel like you're forgetting the pacers hate us more than any other team. pritchard still wants blood from the paul george thing, and it's why myles turner never got here.

    i keep thinking we'll trade with chicago, but chicago just overvalues their guys until they lose all value. every. time. also, the two guys in chicago that interest me (dosunmu and terry) have actually found their way into the rotation.

    who? terrance mann?

    it was good, but a large part of why it was good is that we didn't give up flexibility in the move (nor a first). so, sure, if we can throw a 2nd or two with kleber to get an expiring who helps us on the court, i'm totally down. but adding salary or giving up a 1st is going to take a lot in return for me to happy about it. i want a long-term starter in that case.

    you know i love ellis, so i'd give up the house there. i'd give up knect and a lotto-protected first that turns into two seconds for carter.

    though carter was dnp-cd in game 1 for them, and i believe he's a duffy client...

    can't believe they only played ellis 13 minutes and started their rookie over him (and monk).

    Fair point, that would take the same wizardry as the Kings and Blazers...I bet (just like Billups)

    They have to look in the mirror at some point. Right? Some accountability for the accumulation of lost/dwindled asset after asset.

    Mann and Sharpe.

    Those two just wasting away for the sake of Russ might be one of the most reckless front office decisions this year. I don't get it. I want both and I'd be willing to overpay.
