    I mostly overlook false statements. This one was too difficult to ignore.

    The loss isn't blamed on Trevor. Period.

    Yea it is. Morey is a math guy and Ariza was the one player who's offensive performance was way below his expected mathematical contribution including variance period. Everyone else was within range including variances. Ariza was not. Don't defend him, he was a major factor if not the factor and we(Rox) didn't shed a single tear let alone a sigh with his departure. He did us a favor.

    I
    And, that same Mavs team swept the Championship Lakers whose star 6th man married a Kardashian and binged on coke, almost dying in brothel, while having alleged affair between the team's all star power forward's fiance and a run-of-the-mill bench player who less recognizable than Charlie Brown. While, getting blown out by 36 in game 4 and having it's two best players, not score over 20 points in two straight games and have their four best players, not score over 20 points. Did I mention that team got thrashed again by OKC the next year.

    I forgot within the next season to mention they traded a bunch future draft picks for an aging star point guard and Dwightmare(have not the playoffs sense, but hoping to change all that with guy who some of their fanbase has accused of choking and joining superteams to get easy rings). Nobody could stay healthy and Dwightmare couldn't get along with the team's superstar who didn't get along with the last superstar center who was traded out of town, during the same season where they were almost swept by a team with no superstars, while getting two freebie superstars in an off-season with a looming scandal.


    Harden did what, again?

    I won't be caught 'defending' Ryno, but to answer your question - Chandler Parsons, for starters, but really any guys that signs a big contract and deal with injuries. ...Also Matt Maloney. Maybe it's a white people thing.

    I considered Ty Lawson as a possibility... but neither he or Matt Maloney were making anywhere near 20M...
    and injuries...sure that can be a factor... but wasnt with Ryno...

    I bet if you adjusted Maloney's salary for the 20 year difference, it would be up there!
