    The most realistic appraisal straight from the horse's mouth. Initially, I believed our problems were moderate, yet fixable. This really puts things in perspective, unfortunately.
    Shocking, positively shocking.

    Double the offer immediately!! 8 first round picks for JB.

    Jeff Bzdelik that is, not Jimmy Butler.

    Can't hide two bad defensive players if you switch everything. At some point, they will get iso'd. At least with Harden, he competes down in the post. Melo just gets used when iso'd on the perimeter or when he is posted up on a switch.

    Good point. Never thought about how he lobbied for Melo, but didn't for Luc or Ariza. This just shows you Fantasy Basketball doesn't work in the NBA. Chemistry and role players like Luc or Ariza still important, even if it cost the brokeass owner $90 millions. You want to play with the big boys, you need to #payitup
