    This is political language.

    Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."

    Oh, for God's sake.

    I won't count on it, either. We've been here before: making that trade to beat the 2-months-before-the-trade-deadline aggregate whatever. And nothing happens.

    I'll keep logging in, don't get me wrong. But I won't get all worked up.

    Rather Orwellian.

    son....get out of here ahahah

    I'm just poking fun at ya a bit - I do think Uthoff has the talent to be a contributor on an NBA team, just hasn't managed to stick anywhere yet. There are dozens like him with the talent to be in the league, just not the opportunity. Hate to break it to you, but odds are that the opportunity ever won't present itself.

    No problem. I was joking too. LOL

    Uthoff's problem is his lack of aggression...internally on the team. He's too quiet and passive. It's a personality thing that has zero to do with his skills. He's distant from his teammates, dispassionate, and he's not close to anybody. Teams take that as he's not aggressive enough and he doesn't love the game, etc. Uthoff would STILL be a great fit here. He's a better player than Gary Clark, James Ennis, and Isaiah Hartenstein. I'd still love to have him on a cheap deal.

    Crossing my fingers...Dario Saric from Minnesota. He's averaging 18 mins a game. He can play both the 4 and the 5. Gritty player...decent rebounder.

    Could maybe get him if we moved Knight for Dieng and gave them a future first or perhaps a second and a youngster. Don't know if that's worth it to us.

    You pay for Dieng contract, 81.72 million for 2021-2022.

    18 million + 18 million*3.54 = 81.72

    There was a discussion between Bulls and Rockets yesterday, but that is just another political language ....

    Knight/Chriss and 3 Firsts for Parker and Holiday?

    If Parker were injured, Tilman would have to borrow more money.

    Hes also a capable point forward. He was runner up for ROY when Ben Simmons was injured his REAL rookie year. Saric was also Euroleague mvp before coming over...like Doncic. Really needs opportunity

    I'm glad we didn't need House for this game. Have a 10 game lead in the division is nice... oh.... wait...

    This would solve all of our problems. I don't know what we'd have to move but a lineup of:

    PG: MCW/CP3
    SG: Harden/Gordon
    SF: Bazemore/Ennis
    PF: Tucker/Clark
    C: Capela/Dedmon

    WOULD BE SO GOOD!

    When Minnesota was looking to trade Butler, Houston was involved either to get Butlet or get other pieces.

    I'm hoping Saric was a piece we were looking at as other pieces. He would be a great piece and Minnesota is not using him.
