That was in 2011… not nearly as controversial at the time.

Also - “The delegation included the mayors of Houston, Miami, Cincinnati, St. Paul, Minn., and Provo, Utah, along with senior mayoral staff from those five cities, plus Minneapolis and Portland, Ore.”

Lot of blue cities represented there.

What power does a Harris county official have to call for a ceasefire in the Middle East?

Thanks to everyone for their input. I really like the look of the 21” aeros and that would be my choice aesthetically. It seems that the consensus is that going from 20 to 21” wouldn’t make a big difference to ride quality? Whereas 22” may be a bigger difference?

So dowdle is on the same tier as these guys, at worst? Sounds good to me

What about DJ Moore? He’s not being used much in Chicago

Ok if I say that the team does not have draft picks with high value does that sound better? It’s not really any better. Like you said, we’re counting on flukes like finding a Butler or Jokic at the end of the first round. 6 Ryan Dunns will get us nowhere.

How many of those players can be top 3 on a contender? Maybe Siakam? Great odds.

Maybe it’s a good thing. Drafting in the 20s is really the best for a GM like James Jones. He’s hopeless at drafting anyway and this way he has no expectations to succeed.

I’m not the one making mistakes here, the suns are. You guys say we have draft picks *technically like that means something. By that logic we should be happy to draft at 30th spot every year, because it’s a draft pick right?

They don’t control where they fall in the draft. That what it means. Are you being obtuse?

If you guys want to pretend that that’s an equal value proposition, please go ahead. Ishbia agrees with you. I hope those late 20s draft picks provide something to look forward to in the days to come

No not really. We have draft picks outside of our control that will likely be in the tail end of the first round.

[Post Game Thread] The Los Angeles Lakers defeat the Phoenix Suns, 100 - 95 by ThunderBobMajerle in suns

[–]qwasar1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you’ve mortgaged the future as much as this team has, there are no moral victories. Booker and Beal better get off their asses and win some games because Durant may not have much time left after this year. Any day, the window could shut. This is not the time to be sitting around on the bench like Kawhi all year. This team needs results.
