    A lot of recency bias at play here.

    It just makes me laugh so hard that this guy thought a mom in Turkey named their kid Anfernee.

    There is something called globalization. Maybe a friend of yours heard about it before?

    Dude, there are barely any Anfernee's in the U.S. It is highly unlikely.

    Ain't no white Turkish mom trying to name her son Anfernee tbh. It's a cool name but let's be realistic here.

    Isn't Anfernee the Islamitized Anthony? Excuse my grammar? Turkey is a Muslim majority country.

    No. It's just a phonetic variant of the name Anthony. It has no real meaning. Did you assume it was a muslim thing because Penny was black? lol

    Good luck finding anyone in Turkey named 'Sanctity', too.

    About a dozen languges are found natively within the country with only an estimated 15% or so of people being able to speak english.

    I mean, kind of unfair judgement for a guy who drafted Durant, Harden, Westbrook (who is still my least favorite player), Ibaka, Adams, etc...

    Totino’s Pizza Rolls > Hot Pockets

    If I were to find a bag of Totino’s pizza rolls in my freezer, especially after a few whiskeys, I would happily enjoy. A Hot Pocket would go straight in the trash.

    Presti’s legacy is going to be fine regardless. If he became a free agent tomorrow you know one team that would line up Mack trucks full of Landry’s gift cards to get him?

    Why are people so dismissive of Wood? Besides the injury, Wood can give 20-10 consistently. With passers like Sengun and maybe Green if he gets double teamed, Wood can be a perfect player that catches the ball very well in traffic and also knock down 3s. With our current roster, Wood fits perfectly well at C/PF. If he can stay healthy it is a no-brainer to keep Wood who is a borderline all-star caliber player.

    they are perfectionists and grass-is-greener-overthere people...

    if he was on any other team you would see multiple threads of why we dont trade for this special guy.....who is young cheap big and has multiple coveted skills that would fit well with our young core

    I think it’s a combination of 3 things:

    His attitude
    His health
    His contract expiration timing
