    I've come to the realization that no matter who is correct between Pops, Doc, Clutch, Rocket!!!, Troy, HeyP, or Rudy's mother's friend's little sister's hairdresser's boyfriend, we will be a better team next year. We will be a better team just because Franchise won't have the headaches, Mobley won't be playing on bum ankles, no way Rice will shoot worse than last year, MoT will be back, KT will get better like he always does, and Cato is playing with half a heart instead of no heart at all. Let us not forget Griffin.

    Add two lottery picks or some stud fowards or a combination of, and this team will be able to really compete. And thats all I really care about. I just want this team to be competitive. Of course, there is nothing better than championship, but I really enjoyed watching them two year ago when they were the best team not to make the playoffs.

    So no matter what happens this summer, next year will be great. I guess we are all just discussing and arguing "Just how great next season can be?", and thats not a bad problem to have.

    Great post.....

    Except that there is no cure for Menieres disease unless you opt for surgery in the ear, that stops them all together.

    Surgical Procedures - Insertion of a tympanostomy tube through the eardrum
    This is a relatively minor procedure which is widely used in children and adults for the relief of middle-ear infections. The purpose of the tube is to maintain a tiny hole through the eardrum. Although the medical community has been skeptical that this treatment would have any bearing on Meniere's disease, many physicians are finding that they are very effective with success rates as good as endolymphatic shunt surgery. The published studies indicate a high proportion of Ménière's patients get relief from vertigo by this procedure. Furthermore, a recent study in animals has provided scientific support that the procedure is effective, finding that hydrops developed to a lesser degree when the eardrum was perforated. However, some physicians remain unconvinced and there is as much controversy on this issue, as there is with endolymphtic shunts. It should be emphasized that the apparent "fullness in the ear" described by Meniere's patients does not arise from abnormal pressure in the middle ear space so the reason for the tube is not to release a middle ear pressure. In our present research we are finding there are a number of mechanisms by which perforation of the tympanic membrane could affect the cochlear fluids. For those considering surgical options, this may be something to try before other, more invasive, surgeries are considered.

    I thought Rudy's mother' friend's little sisters hairdresser was gay. Now you are telling me she has a boyfriend. Man I am confused.

    You're right. I mean, we could argue all day about who we want the most (come to think of it, we do:D) between Kandi, Odom, Lewis, Garnett, Ming, Butler, Scooby-Doo, Sonic the Hedgehog, Rudy's dentist, Pamela Anderson, and that piece of lint stuck to your shorts. But it's practically impossible that we won't get better. Almost zero chance we'll come out of this offseason without a quality center or small forward. We should just sit back and N-joy.
