Taco Bell is for broke-ass college kids who can't afford actual, tastier, healthier Mexican food from an actual Mexican place.

Not if you’re trying to cleanse yourself.

Reminds me of a line a player said during the last NBA lockout/work stoppage, I think it was Kenny Anderson, trying to garner a little sympathy from fans:

"Yes we make a lot of money, but we spend a lot of money too!" :lol:

Garnett had TV in his dog houses, so they could watch him play.
Its endless how they ( not all) piss away cash.

Many frequent casinos, and are horrible gamblers.
Go to any major casino during summer league if you want to watch first hand.

I'll eat Taco Bell on occasion when I feel like a late night snack. Taco Bell has an advantage of being open late. I wouldn't call it Mexican food, it's more like American food with some Mexican ingredients.

They choose to blame Leonard...but perhaps they shouldn’t have gone after him if they weren’t ready to move on if they didn’t get him.

Exactly. Also with the way free agents were going off the board, maybe you give him a 24 hour window to give you an answer. If he doesn't answer then you move on. Pretty simple especially in the Lakers case since they had money.

As for the Raptors, pull the trigger on that trade and maybe he stays.

Give Kawhi a 24 hour window? You might as well tell him to fuck off, Kawhi's fragile ego would consider that disrespectful.

Exactly so complaining about it now is lame if you ask me.

Most top free agents were gone day 1 or day 2 so basically complaining about Kawhi means you wanted him to make a decision by July 1st.

Not a big difference in July 2nd and July 5th in terms of type of players that were available.

At the end of day, don't chase him if you not expecting a several day wait.

The Suns 4th pick in 2016 is heading back to CSKA Moscow.

The 8th pick in 2016 draft who the Suns via draft night trade is still on the market

Reason #27772722288288 why getting a top 5 pick/several lottery picks guarantees you absolutely nothing

That's why I'm not a big fan of getting draft picks in trades and why I think OKC's draft haul it acquired from LAC is overvalued.

With that many picks? They should get at least 1 or 2 studs.....it's a numbers game. You gather that many and if you have a great scouting department, you'll hit a few homers.

Some of their combos are more expensive than hole in the wall Mexican joints here in SoCal.

I like those spots and the occasional Taco Bell or Taco Tuesday at Del Taco also.

Sometimes you're in a hurry.

$6 bucks in Rubidoux gets me a Carne Asada burrito that is literally off the chain.

Possibly, I think all their picks will end up being too low but yes, the odds are better.
