    Okay, guy!! But you are still wrong. Give you points for doubling down, though.

    Don't even remember him from last season tbh. I was just trying to quickly get rid of trash to match salaries. I'm sure there are similar ways to do so as it was a pretty arbitrary selection.

    This is how you win as a team! We learned a lesson from the lost against Jazz and this time we managed to bring this W down - Great Job ! That's what it's all about

    What is this then? Wood refused to play in the SL and asked out. I guess he did not like having to compete for a spot. What makes you so convinces they chose Melli rather than Okafor over him?

    I have already spilled all the beans multiple times about Wood, and it is true that the Pels wouldnt take him back now, even for free. Mavs offer him for Hayes and Temple, Griff says no. Today.

    He is not the worst guy in the world, but he is insanely immature and has no accountability. The team basically had to employ a guy just to make sure he woke up on time every day, got to film room, stayed awake in film.

    He is not a professional off the court. Super skilled on the court, but the opposite of everything Griff wants the culture to be. They have zero regrets about letting him walk

    It's not just you either. Anyone who has any kind of knowledge or connection has been saying the same thing for years on Twitter and elsewhere. Everyone knows Wood is a talented offensive player. Nobody seems to want him on their team for more than a cup of coffee. It doesn't take a genius to connect the dots with some of the murmuring and know the dude's not entirely on the level.
    Basketball.

    And yet, somehow, after every good Wood game, 10 fans come out of the woodworks (no pun intended) asking how we could have let him go. Apparently the narrative hasn’t gotten out there well enough or something. I feel like this will still be a thing in 2026

    Also, team thinks Zion and Herb can go tonight. BI is probably 20/80 for tonight but 50/50 for Clips and 80/20 for Lakers. What I was told

  9. #234
    Next game is not tonight; it’s Friday night. Got an extra day for BI to recover.

  10. #235
    He actually won’t go on the trip now. They are playing the long game

    That is just our MO at this point.. we are extra cautious with everything which is smart but annoying for fans lol

    Probably NBA brass after NFL & Tua concussion situation.

    My source is real; I assure you. But just for fun, Melli and Okafor played two different positions (one was a traditional center...the other was suppose to be a stretch 4 (same as Wood), penciled in to back up the shiny, new Big Guy). They made no meaningful effort to retain Julius Randall, and showed Wood the door. That's just the facts.

    Have a great day, my friend!!

    Both correct decisions by the way.

    Completely different situations. Wildly so. I don't think Tua has anything to do with BI not making this trip.

    People who say Randall are just as bad as who say Woods

    One of the easiest things in life is to get peoples names right

    Why is it so hard to get a man's name right

    Infuriating as shid

    In favor of Nocolo' Melli? Your position certainly can't be predicated on the on-the-court play of the three. One has been an All Star after his Pelican experience and the another is arguably the second best player on an NBA title contender this year; the third is somewhere in Europe 'killing it', I suppose.

    Have a good one!!

    That's fine if you don't place a high value on language. I do though
