I don’t want to trade for a player that doesn’t want to play in Atlanta.

I give it another week or so before we start hearing the front office tell us how we're not going to move guys just to move guys, and we're actually really happy with the roster as is and look forward to training camp.

I bet Celts fans are calling him racist names right now because of it, whether aloud or thinking it…

Schmelts don’t deserve one of our own! #Georgia #peach

Exactly.   Don't forget "we have great flexibility going forward"

OT: so we hired a new guy in our company and had a meeting this morning. Dude was weird AF. So people are speaking individually and after a couple sentences, homeboy picks up on one word and repeats it.  He did it like three times. 

Somebody said something … like blah blah blah … “superfluous”.. 

1 second after… verbatim: HA, superfluous. 
 

Everyone in the meeting:   

 

Go Hawks!

I try to start this from time to time. I'll introduce a new term to see how long before everyone is using it wrong.

I honestly don’t even want Siakam … he doesn’t want to be here and he will leave next season … it will cost too much

I've noticed this need to trade Clint that doesn't really exist with the Hawks unless it's to land KAT. The Hawks aren't trading Capela. They aren't trading Okongwu. They want both on the roster as a center tandem. If they trade Capela, it's because they landed KAT. 

So neither are going anywhere..

Give the man a break.  He hasn't been in the continuous presence of a superior male specimen such as yourself in a long time.

You got the man tryna expand his vocabulary in real-time.  He gonna be using it in a sentence in no time. "Yesh, superfluous is when you get the really bad flu."

Saying superfluous three times is…well… superfluous.

Might be time to move on

Past time...

 

[Gray Mule]

Summertime and the NBA.  Time for the GM games.  They all are dealt a hand of cards (Players) and the games begin.  Some cards are discarded.  Some are returned to the deck.  Some are swapped.  Some of the GM's try to bluff their way into and out of games.  Some tell tall tales about what they have.

Fans watch their every move, hoping the GM of their team makes moves that makes their team better.

Enjoy this summer's games!

PS - Summer League game today- 4 pm

Reminds me of a classic Kids in the Hall skit where one guy won't stop using "ascertain" in any and every conversation and his boss orders him to stop using it.

I must have misunderstood earlier.  It seems I was putting Capela in every deal as an almost forgone conclusion.

Naw, only for KAT.
