I'm done picketing, we made no leeway, still stuck at minimum wage of $7.75.

Will try again next week.

He is not older than 21. No possible way

I've decided, I'll tell you my age if you promise never to make this lame joke again.

Because, this is about the 5th time you've mentioned my age to insult me, I don't want to say you're prying, but...

Pretty sure this is the first time. Believe you're confusing me with someone else

So I checked on prosportstransactions.com and it says the following:

76ers (76ers have option to swap first round picks with Kings (Kings pick protected #11-30 if Kings to not convey first round pick to Cavaliers in 2016)



76ERS WOULD NOT EXERCISE PICK SWAP OPTION BECAUSE KING PICK IS CURRENTLY BEING CONVEYED TO CAVALIERS



Traded • rights to Arturas Gudaitis • rights to Luka Mitrovic • 76ers option to swap 2016 first round picks with Kings (Kings pick protected #11-30) (not exercised) • 76ers option to swap 2017 first round picks with Kings (Kings pick protected #11-30 if Kings do not convey first round pick to Cavaliers in 2016) (?-?) to Kings for • Nik Stauskas • Jason Thompson • Carl Landry • 76ers option to swap 2016 first round picks with Kings (Kings pick protected #11-30, else extinguished) (not exercised) • 76ers option to swap 2017 first round picks with Kings (Kings pick protected #11-30 if Kings do not convey first round pick to Cavaliers in 2016) (?-?) • first round pick (conditional if Kings convey first round pick to Cavaliers in 2016, protected top 10 in 2018, unprotected in 2019) (?-?) on 2015-07-01

They also apparently owe a pick to the Bulls and Cavs??

From what I understand, they only owe a pick to the Bulls and not the Cavs. They gave the Cavs a first round pick that was protected. It's stayed protected from 2012 until this year, and if the pick doesn't fall outside of the top 10 then it turns into a 2nd round pick. The Cavs traded that pick to Chicago(probably when they got Deng) so it's now theirs. Also, if the Kings had to swap picks with Philly and their pick ended up outside of the top 10 because of that, they still keep it. I'm not as sure on that last part though.

at least you have a chance to see another heat championship before you die unlike @bksballer89

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

My guess is...you haven't seen him play. There have been flashes of the player he could eventually be. The potential problem is, we've only seen flashes. A game here and there. He recently put together a run of 4 or 5 games where he played well, but then followed that up with several where he didn't.

He needs to continue working on his game, develop some consistency and he'll likely be fine.

He really needs to bulk up a bit, but thats no secret and he will.
People tend to forget these how young these one and dones are.

Been a Heat fan since I can remember, I remember I was a big Celtics fan in 08/09 and then a Lakers fan in 2010, then LeBron went to the Heat and I've been a YUGE fan ever since, I'm probably one of the biggest Heat fans in Florida, tbh.

no doubt about it.

I am not saying Ingram is a lost cause. He still has quite a bit of value. I just think he value has taken a hit since draft day.

For a guy that has gotten the most playing time out of any rookie- i would like to see a little more upside then we have seen thus far.

KI was a teenage rookie and lit the world on fire. You saw Porzingis in his rookie year (im not sure if he was 19 or 20) put up some damn good games.

What i am saying is that- you can often get a pretty decent idea who the great players are gonna be pretty early. Im not saying its impossible with Ingram- but at this point it would be the exception and not the rule.

as i demonstrated a few days ago- only 36% of players from the 2003-2014 draft in the top 5 became all stars AT LEAST once. Not everyone in the top 5 becomes an all star- in fact- the majority DONT.

And Gilbert promised that the Cavs would win before
Heat/James did.

Idiot birds of a feather flock together.

Go to technical college and learn a skill that will earn you a living wage.

So you just like front runners.

Once Da KANG retires, Cleveland sports will go back to being the utter shit hole it was before.

That whole fan base is lucky that one of the greatest players of all time grew up there, or they would be ringless until the mid 70s, 2070's dat is, playa.

Your sarcasm meter needs to turn on bud, and turn on quick.
