Mori I believe that adding one more white guy will unleash the ghost of Larry Bird. Which will get the team to use him as Marlon Wayans did with Kadeem Hardisson in that great flick.

What Larry Bird isn't dead (could have fooled me)?

I still don't get what happened to Deron. He was so good not very many years ago, and he aged at 5x speed or something. What gives? Why is he so decidedly mediocre now?

It seems like he stopped working, caring to be the best at his position.

He does seem out of shape. Maybe he didn't have a good regimen for the summers and slowly lost his fastball.

I think he's one of those guys who just wanted to play basketball and didn't want to be bothered with fully committing himself physically or mentally. He's never seemed totally in shape, which may or may not have led to ankle issues, and once he was traded to NJ/BK, they made him the face of the franchise (in the NY market) which he clearly wasn't interested in being. I think he's a guy who wants to show up, play ball, and leave.

Zach Lavine is looking next in SL so far, him and Wiggins are going to make a nice tandem for years to come.

Is that some new hip term I'm not aware of? "Looking next"?

Man, that dude is looking next!

I didn't know that was common knowledge. Seemed to come out of the blue.

You aren't on tha twitters? I honestly don't know if that's his real name. It used to be Robert, but now it's something else. I just call him Bob to mess with him.

Embiid is probably going to miss the year with his 2nd foot surgery. That's awful. Looks like it's Oden part deux.

I think he's got that Andrew Bynum thing where he just doesn't care about basketball.

You should. I'm @careystephen (first name & middle name) if anyone wants to chat on there. Bob and I are both pretty active. I talk about a lot of random shit though not just Suns/NBA stuff. I also do a lot of movie & Tv talk and sometimes stuff about my kids.
