Cool story, but there's only one problem with your analogy. The average starting salary for competent NBA players is going up, not down.

I'm guessing this is a new management decision. I don't think Hinkie is running the show any longer.

Stop trolling. No one is taking the bait.

In fairness to him, there were quite a few people on here that wanted Vonleh. I personally wasn't one of them because i knew almost nothing about him other than what was said on here but a LOT of people here thought he was the best power forward option out of the Vonleh/Randle/Gordon trio. Also, if Catman did want Vonleh the most, and I can't recall if that's the case or not, he definitely wasn't upset with the Gordon pick. I remember that for certain.

It's so rare that I agree with you on anything. This is definitely one of those times.

The shirt did just obtain another level of irony.

lol, isn't is great? I feel it will greatly enhance my ability to heckle him if given the opportunity.

You are a beautiful man.

Do you guys remember this shirt? I might be going to the Rockets game in a few weeks and the memory of this shirt popped into my head. I think it would be kind of hilarious to own it and wear it to the game. I can't find them for sale anywhere though. Does anyone know a site that sells them or perhaps has one they would sell?

And it's easy to see why we didn't match up well with the Celtics. There are 3 reasons: 3) Carter absolutely sucked at chasing Allen around screens. 2) Pierce always torched us. 1) This is the biggest one, Dwight could never consistently score on Perkins one on one. That series had me all kind of worried before it started. I never liked our chances.

I think he has some good points but he underrates the internal improvements of Howard as the main reason for the teams success. The Dwight from the finals team was infinitely better than the Dwight from the 40 win Brian Hill team.

Careful. He's about to post pics of all the girls he's talked into taking photos with him.

The plus side is the team is finally deep enough where being a second round pick doesn't guarantee you a roster spot on this squad.

I think the Napier addition probably eliminates Harvey's chances of making the team.

He probably wasn't trying to build a championship roster. He likely just named off 5 players he really liked and didn't give it a lot of thought. I am surprised Kareem made is list though. Not that Kareem isn't deserving, he's a top 5 center easily, but I'm 15 years older than Gordon and I only saw a couple of games where Kareem was only running on fumes.

Not to diminish the accomplishment but the stats from that era were very inflated due to the style of play. I also don't think it's unreasonable for someone to want to see the player play before they put them on their personal top 5 list. Particularly when the guy Robertson would be replacing, Bird, is someone that makes most people's top 5 list.

I mostly ghost but I'm still around.

As long as you don't pretend that you were in favor of drafting Exum at any point. You wanted the Magic to take your boy Randle and you did your little article trolling routine for several months leading up to the draft when it looked like we would take Exum. You even said you would have preferred for us to take Smart.

Well.......he's tall. There's that.

I've had Eskobar on my ignore list for a while now. It's worked out well for me.

What Payton said. I know this is difficult for you but you should try to focus your limited attention span towards re-reading that post and try this time to actually comprehend what he is saying instead of automatically dismissing it.

How can a point that's 95% math be a homer post? Serious question. He didn't even address anyone specifically on the Magic. He said shot blocking in general is an overrated stat.

That's what she said.

Do I seriously need to quote your original comments from the first page to remind you what you said? It seems like I do.
