Then this summer we get rid of the terrible contracts and can add more talent. For the rest of the season they should start playing the younger guys like Hardaway(who isnt being used correctly) Larkin, Wear, and Early(when he comes back) to see how they fit as well as develop

I predicted Melo's vacation would start after the holidays. Looks like it starts now. Good timing to tank harder. I don't want more than double our current win total in the next month. Now that may be possible. Unless the team plays better without Melo and starts putting together 4 quarters like their better play in Houston. Nah!

If Melo is out for a long while, at least it allows us to improve our lottery chances while buying Phil and Fisher some time (which I think they deserve). Also hopefully it allows JR, Shump and Tim jr to plumpen their trade value.

Wow, would it get ugly without Melo. We're a .250 team with him. We're probably around .150 without him.

I think we'd cruise along around .200-.250 without him. 8-22 by end of December would mean going 4-11 between now and the end up the year, basically replicating our current pace of .267.

Either we Go Philly Retard* and only win 1-2 games and are 6-24 or we grab a few and gun for a .333 record of 10-20. It seems like that is our ceiling for 2014.

* Go Philly Retard is a phrase trademarked by Splat!

Crap, Philly is now 0-14. Don't recall ever seeing a record like that before. I know Philly won 9 games once, but this is something else.

They are racing way ahead of us. We'll never catch them.

We need those ping pong balls to bounce our way. Is Adam Silver known for harboring a bloodlust for sacrificial rituals?

So we're paying $25mil/yr for a 10% increase in wins player

Is my math right here, if so DAT WIN SHARE

You know Tanking is the method demonstrating rebuilding

For the future but really in order to compete with this process


Shouldn't we go the Submarine route, as in get lower than the Earth's surface

I know Tanks can go under water but they can't get to Sub levels

So with your Go Philly Retard trade mark

I'd like to joint venture with you and trademark into an Enterprise


Bringing aboard Submarine

I'll ask again what are Wear's financial metrics

I want this to be my last time

WTF? OK, Wear is paid $1,125 per quarter plus $25 per diem minus jock washing fees of $2.89 daily. Now if you want the real numbers, you'll have to crank them out on your calculator just like I did for Melo. I ain't your handmaiden.

Melo - Out with Back Spasms. Will Not Play Tonight vs. Mavs.
Previously Reported: Sore Knee since Game #2, no indications of treatment or rest yet.

It does not sound like Melo will be rushed back anytime soon.
