This didn't convince me Fertitta is "cheap". He made some business decisions, as any business person would, but in your very long story, you clearly mentioned several times that he spent a boat load of money. Your best case was the Jerrett Allen argument, but they were executing a rebuild strategy (that worked) and Allen was just a casualty of a business decision made in the broader context of the rebuild. You may say that was him being cheap. I say it was him being smart and executing a long-term plan (that worked).
Great post! Yep. Every great accomplishment in human history had never been previously accomplished. That's what makes it great. And before the thing was accomplished, there was a long list of people that said it can't be done who turned out to be wrong. That's literally the whole point of sports ...to watch things that are unlikely to happen.
Good one. For years on this very BBS, Robert Horry was not a winning type of player. Then his nickname. The irony.
Trade Player ______ if you don't like him, as if the other 29 teams are eager to haul your garbage away for a bag of chip.
JVG, Udoka: “He’s great for defense, but doesn’t know anything about offense!” Adelman, D’Antoni: “He’s great for offense, but doesn’t know anything about defense!” McHale, Silas: “He’s clueless at everything except telling guys to play harder.”
lol. Isn’t it exactly 30 years or am I doing my math wrong? He might as well have said it’s been 100 years if he’s going for hyperbole.
