    Never mind Kevin freaking Durant. The only thing we learned from the Toronto series is that you can probably win a championship if the other team loses 2 of its best players.

    My mom told me she loves me.

    After supporting her financially for the past 10 years, sacrificing my hard-earned cash on luxurious things for her, living out of Katy for several years, blowing away my 20s that could've been 24/7 adventure and fun, I looked back at how little she sacrificed for me. She literally didn't do anything for me other than just keep the damn house operational.

    After this realization, I told her a couple weeks ago... "Talk is cheap."

    So let’s say I own a car then I put it on Craig’s list and sold it

    That means I don’t want to drive that car anymore

    Obviously not when they gave away a first round pick , a second round pick and their best "trade asset contract" along with a promising young player in Melton and failed to spend the MLE …. all to avoid the tax.

    But he's gonna tell us he wants to win at all costs …. all costs except the luxury tax.

    You had the assets to improve the team last year without giving up core players yet we choose to use those assets on a gamble to get under the cap. Now we have to trade core players to improve. Your words and actions are not agreeing with each other.

    This is like a CEO going into a state of the company speech saying they aren't going to lay anyone off and the company is making strides to be successful into the future then the next day they lay off 20% of the work force.
