AC/DC ????

You're slipping....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Yes, all that happened.

I am not anti-Wiggy.

But, what he did to @DJ and not following thru on his bet after all the shit he talked is some punk shit.

He actually is a fairly intelligent person and knows the intricacies of the salary cap and it' complexities far more than I could ever hope to know.....he reads a lot and when not being in total Cavs homer mode (I know this is rare, LOL) he posts some thought provoking posts....

PS: To an extent we're all homers, this may come as a shock to you fine folks, but this even includes myself.

Masai dumped Carroll and Joseph and a meaningless 1st/2nd for CJ Miles + a huge trade exception and got under the tax -- MASAI IS A JEDI

AND We're all protectors of our own. Problem is that some folks become incensed when anything even remotely negative is said about the 15th guy on the roster.

But then again, it's difficult to discuss things with a guy who continually attacks and shits on your team.

Is Game of Thrones like Harry Potter or some shit?

i dunno, peeps. making the fat guy a dietician? seems like a natural if you ask me...

Just like a janitor calls himself a "Custodial Engineer", he calls himself a "Dietary Aide" when in fact he's a dishwasher in a nursing home.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I'll only go so far to "defend" Wiggy.....he's earned any shit-storm he receives.....

With dicks, boobs, boning, mutilation and dragons (but not like the sissy Harry Potter ones).

 

[DJ Fieri]

Made it home in pretty good time.....about 75 minutes.

Good question. I've never watched an episode so I know nothing about the show.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Damn. Daniel Radliffe is worth 110 million and he's just 25? He has the world by the balls....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Me neither.

My inside sources back home in Akron said he's hiding out in Vegas as an Elvis impersonator right now.

 

[DJ Fieri]

He could retire right now and live the life of a playboy.....damn, I hate him.

Hey come on now, everybody believes him when he says he's "studying for the bar exam", right?

And staying LOYAL to his employer, rather than try move up the ladder at his job or get a better one...

A guy like Durant might prefer a pass first pg.

But, obviously Westbrook is the superior talent.

Most would pick Westbrook because Ball is a unknown commodity.

Exactly. There's not much Ball could do this season to convince a star in his late 20s/early 30s that it makes sense to team up with him instead of Russell Westbrook (even if Ball's style fits better with that star) because realistically, signing up to play with a 20 year old point guard means you probably won't be winning anything for another 2-3 years, at which point, you might no longer be in your prime and you may have missed your opportunity to win a title.

Granted, winning a championship isn't the only factor . . . and it might make sense for a star to try to team up with a group of talented young players (we'll see what Minnesota is able to do this year) and grow with them . . . but I don't think Ball is going to be the primary reason that L.A. lands a top free agent (if that ends up happening.)
