    Yes I am calling him the Turkish Nuke. Thank you Scott Brooks for igniting him last night.

    It would be awesome to start both Asik and Howard, but a damn shame not to be able to just let TRob, DMo, and TJones develop. I think one of those, or more, will turn into a very good player, and it's still too soon to know which. I'm afraid all we'd get back for any of them in a trade would be a mid-first-round pick right now, and it will really suck to see us do that and have the player turn into a star, and Howard dressing in street clothes because he got injured, taking up a bunch of our cap space. We're seeing in Chase how great it is for our cap to have a very good player playing for peanuts.

    Why can't you have both? Who says we would need to choose?

    Plus, I don't see Dwight turning down $30 mil. It won't happen. He'll stay in LA. Dwight doesn't care about winning, Dwight cares about having fun. He hasn't realized that winning is fun. He won't.
