Who helped with our defense man. You have two bad posts in a row. If we lose Ariza we will lose our defense.
Yes! Sure we could potentially fill a gap at the 4, but we create one at the 3! Brewer, while very energetic, is not on Ariza's level of defense. Then on offense I trust Ariza more. My one issue with Ariza is his lack of slashing and how he avoids contact. I miss that part about Parsons, the putting the ball on the ground and heading to the hole but I certainly don't miss that dribble off the knee he did so often.

He said it was us who didnt want him or smth. Also mmotolas post about that other poster having two bad posts in a row is too ironic. Rip.
Can't believe nobody pays attention to this...We should have a separate thread for Doc sticking with this bold prediction.
And he also said... <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/The_Yoyo">@The_Yoyo</a> ...no. I think SA is prolly the leader. But it's like odds of winning. One team can be 99% while another is 75%.

I tweeted him back saying I figured Spurs were pretty much a done deal since the moment they traded Splitter. He agreed that it is most likely the Spurs. His use of 75-85% is not the way we think of 75-85% chance. To me it's like Spurs are 90% The rest of the teams are slim with the Lakers at zero.
I'm no Good Will Hunting but I don't think one team can have a 99% chance of landing the player and we can still have a 75% chance.
I don't think math works like that.... There needs to be more than one winning condition for his example to work. For example, worse team in the league has a 100% chance at getting the top 4 pick, the 2nd worse team has 88% chance and so on. In this case, LMA's free agency decision is more akin to the odds of landing the 1st overall pick. There is only 100% to split between everyone. One team cannot have a 66% chance and the other has a 50% chance.
