    Hinkie was too cheap. That whole Boston trade was a bluff and Hinkie called it. He didn't up his trade, so Morey bailed on the deadline.

    Nope. Even if we have a better record than the Clippers they will be the 4th seed because they're division leaders. This of course, doesn't mean anything because as a 5th seed, if we have a better record we would still have home court like we didn't against the Jazz a few years ago.

    My F5 button is dissapointed that it took all this abuse for nothing.

    That being said, I'd rather go this route than take the Boston Lee/Bass/1st offer.

    I've hit F5 too many times for this!

    But happy we did not end up with Bass and Lee.

    Wud da fawk. I thought I read he was going to trade him no since he's a man of his word. Now he just broke his word because no good deal as I stated. Well who looks like a bluffer now?

    I'm happy we won't settle for nothing less but if morey cared about his ego,asik's value and his word.he shouldn't done that.

    Interesting. Could be just a ploy to see if anyone will call and offer something better than they already did. Sounds like he has multiple offers on the table, so if they're really committed to moving Asik tomorrow he could just accept one of them.

    On the other hand, who knows, maybe they're completely serious. Time to quit crying and play, Omer.

    So maybe McHale *did* know he'd be back soon. LOLOL. This is sort of hilarious, and also sort of frightening.

    I really F5'ed this whole time for nothing? If Asik doesn't start suiting up and contributing then I'll be pissed for another month and a half haha

    I stand corrected.

    Though, I still rather expect this is a bluff. It's not over until the deadline passes no matter what either party says.

    Actually, I see it as the opposite. It shows Morey won't cave to lowball offers.

    Rofl. Funny how Morey trolled us all.... 225 pages worth.

    Oh well. Hopefully Omer mans up and suits up for us.
