Yeah that's what I mean. You should be asking rando fans. Keeping it internal is dumb.

The Cavs literally just fired Mike Brown one year ago, then they made the finals.

Windhorst has a track record of either making **** up or trusting bad sources.

Still think cross modding Hoya is the easy answer but if you want to mod a tzer kc seems proper. You need someone active because the aids spreads rather quickly and they're constantly derailing the good discussions. Like 10 posters came out of the woodwork this year saying how bad everything was and a few said they didn't post because it was such aids

I'm obviously a fan of some back and forth but the people rehashing the same dumb **** and coming in with the super hot takes need to get got sooner rather than later

Schwallie/Mullen both settled finals bets with me so feel free to bet with these people in the future.

aejones (I think?) and I hopping on the Jazz wagon super early in the season was fun, but they got way overrated in TZ by the end of the season. I'd set it at 40.5 aorn. +350 to make playoffs or so, maybe worse.

Shawn Marion not a HOFer right?

If he got a ring with the Suns in his prime I wouldn't hate his chances.

Gotta love Arenas.

Was just talking with a friend. Duncan lost this $ after he signed his last contract (and this deal wasn't as much of a discount at the time he signed as it ended up turning out to be)

Is he really just gonna re-sign for 10mill again when his market value is like 16-18ish?

Maybe he would wanna take less for LMA/Gasol coming but for Danny F'ing Green? Something to think about.

Yes he should opt out but given his age/team fit I'd think 3/35 would be what he could get.

Just really isn't a great fit if he can't dominate the ball and no good teams really need him for that. Young/bad teams probably not dying to pay him.

One of those is wrong.

Yes it's possible that Lebron is undermining Blatt in some passive aggressive way. But that stuff goes on everywhere and has nothing whatsoever to do with why the "Lebron emasculating Blatt by making in-game coaching decisions himself" report was noteworthy. This is like the right-wing criticism that Obama is a feminine-soft-communist-fascist-atheist-muslim dictator who can't lead a group of kindergarten students, yet is the number one threat America faces. There's nothing that ties these interpretations together besides they all make Lebron look bad.

Except that its coming from LeBron's personnel reporter/PR wing.
Is consistent with observations from the outside, JR Smith's calling Blatt's playcall stupid, etc
And no one in the organization (except for Blatt) has affirmed that Blart will be back next year.

Mavericks, Celtics, Knicks, Suns, Pelicans, Rockets, Spurs, Sixers, Nuggets, Kings for starters

A few of these teams might need to shuffle rosters a little, but a bunch of teams would be happy to snap him up.

I don't think he ever really had that great of bulk or advanced stats without looking but I could be way off.

Irl I think Amare (since we talked about his HOF potential not too long ago) prolly has a better chance than him to get in but I think it should be the other way around in theory.

They're both really close with how lenient the NBA is wrt the HOF.

NBA needs their own HOF imo

The current HOF is really based on Q Score (ironically only for NBA players though). If you're female, foreign, or a coach - you're in

I don't think Marion makes it but Amare does based on those kind of filters

I think Marion is a HOFer without having looked at all time numbers yet. he was very very good for a long time.

Also, if there is a TZ mod I like the idea of KC/MJW as one. They're active regs that post good content(plus i think the banhammer to those deserving would be swift).

I'd vote heels in here too but he's an admitted Ke$ha hater which puts him in my tier 2 of TZ mods by default.

Just make some decent TZ poster who is around a lot a mod, it would help quite a bit to get rid of these insta-disaster posters. I think GetWeird was the last one of these aggro waterheads I can remember showing up in TZ. I'm not good at identifying which previously banned posters these guys are, just see their posts and wonder if they are 13 years old, borderline ******ed, or both.
