    You and I both know there are a lot of moving parts and even more personalities all crunching together for the big payday, all at the same time. My hope is that a championship will happen first. KD will get the media coverage our team needs for all star votes & FVV will get the team respect from the league. All this before they try to get paid for the last time. Hopefully the youth is still the main focus.

    I know I may sound crazy but I think Fred was asked to take a back seat to Green last year to help him develop quicker but when the season was on the line in the playoffs and Green was stinking it up I think Udoka had no choice but to tell Fred to take over and F Greens development which is why Fred went super sayan the rest of the way. I think we're going to see a much better Fred these next two years with Durant here and a real Championship in view.

    “It cost a lot to be in the NBA” will always be the take away from anything Patrick ever says or does.

    If Chris Paul couldn't get his Chief Nemesis Foster fired, I doubt that Fred can do anything about it.
