False. All it takes is your time.

This reasoning is exactly why many who are in a position to do the things previously mentioned don't ever publicize it. Darned if they do, darned if they don't.

Morally? Sure I guess, kinda. Legally? No way. I'm not saying you made this suggestion, just adding $0.02 Would you consider yourself to be successful thus far? What do you do for society? I personally find it more impactful when those that aren't (yet) successful or struggling through life find a way to give back to society. The uber rich do more for society than most shmucks know, they just don't have the vanity to point it out every time they do something. Usually.

I don’t expect much from Ross honestly. We can only hope that AG elevates his game to the level of his contract. Grant is about to the experience /age where pg’s usually start putting it all together, I am bullish on him. I expect great things from Isaac, assuming he stays healthy. Basically I’m in the same boat as you minus Ross.

Marcin Gortat.

The sentiment surrounding Nik is mostly illogical here.

I didn’t actually downvote, don’t know who those three chumps are that got you-aside from ?ftw

-1 bwah hahahaaa

I'm pretty sure RLP is the king of up/down voting.

Two reasons: First is that offense>>defense and he is a good offensive player-which is something our team lacks, second is that his contract is good for trade purposes. He's a value as long as you can hide his defensive deficiencies.

The starting PG position is weak in FA next summer anyway unless you are looking for depth, we'll need to trade if we want a big time player.

Perhaps showing that they're a franchise that takes care of their players, in the hopes they can draw more players down the road. It's Cleveland after all.

You interior lights? What?

You've earned the majority of your downvotes but in the end what do they really mean? They are largely an indicator of how many posts you make, not the quality. I just stay away from the votes.

It appears you've made an enemy in the shadows

How many people believe Kemba is a max player?

I'm a Bambabeliever too!

You said you liked the trade, and also said you weren't sure if ATL would do it unless we added a first round pick to the trade. How I value Nik is irrelevant to the topic, though my view of him is best described as indifferent. Regardless, its a terrible return to begin with, especially when you consider the potential legal trouble. It's not well thought out.

It seemed like a terrible idea before you brought up adding a pick to it, now it’s worse.

He gon learn real quick. I had him at 6.5 on my big board, shared with Carter. It should be noted I had Porter at 5, without full (legitimate) knowledge of his injury status. If you take Porter out of the equation I would have taken Jackson at 6 with the assumption of Carter at 5. I think he can be a good player, I had him in the same tier as Carter, Sexton, Bridges, and Knox. I really liked Knox, I think he'll be better than Jackson next season..more of a higher floor kind of thing. My rub with Jackson is that he didn't look like an NBA player in college when he matched up against other NBA-caliber/older players. He is very raw, which is concerning to me considering his blue blood status-they tend to be more polished.

I agree with what you're saying, except that I don't think he showed enough to be drafted top 5.

Bledsoe is concerning to me. I liked his game but he just can't stay on the floor. You're right he is also in decline.

Jackson really didn't show enough to be drafted top 5 though, we are lucky regardless of SL games.

We are just really lucky that someone decided to take a gamble on Young and that Memphis saw something in Jackson.

Jackson is going to have a tough year in the league next year.
