    Why the charade? I actually supported Tilman, but it's becoming obvious that he bought the team on credit....

    Lol, even an insider on a Hawks forum posted this:

    "Celtics got a shitload of players in their framework. MIN nor HOU really likes the trade. HOU wants to save more and MIN wants a better deal but they are getting the Memphis pick with limited protection based on the original. Boston top 10 protected it but even then, it's a great value. Atlanta's BRK 1st lottery protected isn't as coveted by MIN but both love the deal A LOT more. Mainly because it's simple. Not too many players and you can get draft pick value as well. So we will see what HOU does."

    Meanwhile he's saying Miami and Atlanta might be close to get Gallo and Adams for basically only expiring contracts...like Anderson/Knight, lol if that happens.

    I was once branded a "tilman defender" because I thought people were too quick to bash without enough facts. At this point, after tripling-down on the Westbrook trade, this seems totally asinine.

    I'm still excited for the deadline though. Old habits die hard.

    I want Tristan? How about Morey wants Kevin Love. The lesser evil is Tristan.

    As one poster here awhile mentioned, why couldn't one of the Duncan heirs like pro basketball? Each one of them could buy the Rockets outright. I'm sure there are other energy guys stinking rich here besides them.

    I expected a certain amount of bull$hit from a hospitality guy, but I didn't expect him to be as cheap or cheaper than Les. Just disappointing.

    The thing is, it really wouldn't cost THAT much more to field a legit championship team. Nothing like OKC or GS's tax bills of yore. Just a little primp here, and a tuck there: an extra 20-25 million a year, tops.

    Nope, won't do it. Probably can't do it.
