A year and an half ago we were horrible. I was still on team tank, I hated the FO/HC!! It was the summer of dumb that lasted all season! I don't even remember that roster anymore! My mind blocked it out!! LOL

JALEN BRUNSON changes everything! Leon Rose is GM of the century! Thibs still annoys me but, he gets results. Most confident In have been about this team, since 1994!!

Thibs: Hear me, Do it, and you'll get paid!
iHart: (18mos later) Fuck Dirk!

Im only worried that SAS will want iHart next to Wemmby and will sign him. Rockets and Mav's are covered at the 5.
iHart's wife is a Texas girl.

At the end of the day does it come down to keeping one of Mitch or iHart? I don't know.

I’m sure I’m in minority here and I’m not positive our latest trade is going to work but I really don’t & won’t miss the guys we’ve traded. I think we all tended to overrate them.

I think Grimes' defense will be missed. But I also think if/when we're healthy again our defense will be excellent.

I think we got good value in return, and a better fit for our current situation.

I'd be happy with a win-win outcome for the players involved.

Oh shit. Thumbs-down Randle is back.

I bet Carlisle gave him what not.....
But, Indy won the game handily and he wanted to stick it to his old team.
His brother was right there, perhaps family as well!
Good for him, its shows he has balls.
If he hit it perhaps an epic highlight. They lose by two points it would be awful.

Look, nobody is "positive" the trade works out but it will be a few years to truly measure.
But......The homers will make shit up and get the hype machine going.
I too get attached to the yoot. Root for them a few years and then pretend its all good when traded?
Frank, Knox, and very much RJ! Reality is the new guys have to win your hearts.

On paper the trade makes plenty of sense. The OG trade wiped out our depth/chemistry on the bench. The bench started to play better then the wheels fell off. .

12-2 run with this roster:
Brunson/Deuce
DDV/Grimes
OG/Hart
Randle/Sims
iHart/Precious

4-1:
Brunson/Deuce/Flynn
DDV/Grimes(2 games)
Hart
Precious/Sims(3 games)
iHart/Taj

0-1:
Deuce
DDV/Brown
Hart
Precious/Toppin
iHart(15 minutes)/Taj

0-1:
Brunson/Deuce
DDV/Burks
Hart
Precious/Boj
Taj


We lost 5 rotation players in two weeks!! 3 were starters. Lost Brunson for 1 game. Trade happened. Talk about crash and burn at the ASB!!! We went 4-3 during that stretch.

When everyone is healthy is when the trade looks great.
Brunson/Deuce
DDV/Burks
OG/Hart
Randle/Boj/Sims
iHart/Mitch/Precious

That's a deep team.

Marbury seems surprisingly normal.
