    Hard to know what Bullard percentages would have looked like in today's volumes

    Wished the Rockets would have had the money to sign Milsap. He was a better fit for us offensively and defensively and we wouldn't have to deal with all of the shenanigans of the Knicks FO.

    Jesus Christ rose from the dead on a Sunday. Since then everyone has had performance anxiety.

    Dwight was signed on a Sunday? I guess if he was that didn't count for nothing huh.

    How intensified can things possibly get?

    How is this new 5th level of intensification more intense than the last couple of times things were intensified?

    Are the Cavs, Blazers, Rockets and Knicks ownership playing Texas Hold'em in New York City for the results of this trade, now?

    This is a perfect example to point at. This trade is clearly agreed upon. Now it's set up time for the media. This is their last player to hype during the offseason.

    Oh - and one more thing... didn't the salary cap wilt this year because of the terribleness of the playoffs?

    It's in the league's best interest to get Carmelo to the West to create the possibility of series that last longer than 4-5 games.

    Regardless of if he is a good fit or not, I am just tired of the uncertainty and want to know what our roster will be looking like.

    Salaries completely skyrocketed since then, impossible to compare.
