Wayman Tisdale. What a sad loss. I remember watching him with my parents when I was younger performing a smooth jazz show. RIP Wayman. Fuck cancer.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Also Rodney Rogers. I know he's still alive but what a tragedy. Always had a huge smile and still does. Sad to see.

One thing I will say for him, Jerry was not afraid to trade a good player in his prime.
Paul Silas, Gail Goodrich, Connie Hawkins, Jeff Hornacek, Charlie Scott, Charles Barkley, Jason Kidd, Truck Robinson, Larry Nance, Dan Majerle - Jerry was never afraid to pull the trigger no matter how good a player was.
A real business man knows you don't sell low. HEY BOB & RYAN--PAY ATTENTION!!!
IOW, this is a bad time to trade AASE?

You also know that when the stock you paid $24 for has dropped to 1.89, and it doesn't look to be getting any better, you cut your losses.

There's never a bad time to trade AASE.

It just matters if you want to get anything in return.

I don't care if we get a BASE level asset in return or none at all. Time for both parties to move on.

It's certainly time for Brandon to move on to a team where he'll actually play... if there is such a team.

If there isn't, then we're just talking about giving our problem to somebody else. Good for us, no help for Brandon, and a new problem for his new team. Not exactly fertile conditions for making a deal.
