NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I'm not saying it necessarily is. Because I think he fits well. I think part of it comes down to money...because he's not really a 1 or 2 on a top 10 team but he can be a good 3 imo. There isn't another 2 or 3 on the roster so it would make sense to keep him ideally.

Goal would be Cade as the 1, draft pick from this year as the 2 and Grant as the 3rd option.

Oh, no...

Didn't mean you.

All the talking heads on TV, Twitter etc act like it's when, not if, he's traded...probably to Portland.

For Detroit, I guess it does come down to the price tag. If he wants high number, max years and they aren't feeling that.....

Maybe getting another lottery pick would be the way to go.

Not big into ice cream shakes.

I like them, but I'm picky, so I don't get them very often. They have to be hand scooped and mixed with one of those shake mixers. None of that shit that just comes out of a shake machine like some places use.

I was surprised he didn't get moved at the deadline. But seeing how the team has played since the break it's gotta make them think twice about giving up on Grant if he's willing to sign a semi reasonable deal.

Overall I like the core of Bey, Grant, Cade provided they nail the pick this year and Bey can be a consistently good shooter. Which I think he will be when defenses have to be concerned with one more impact guy on offense.

Hayes and Stewart are either nice bench pieces or parts of a trade to improve at one spot. I don't think either will be more than 20 to 25 minute guys.

7'0" 190 also translates to getting bullied by other bigs. I think he can likely be really good in the NBA, but he'sgoing to neeed to add weight.

Fortunately, he's only 19, so finding the best hamburger stand in whatever city he's drafted to and go on an 8 cheeseburgers and ice cream shakes a day diet (aka @DJ dream diet) should help. lol

All depends on where he plays. Is he a PF/C, or is he a SF like Durant?

That cheeseburger diet doesn't necessarily work; ask BI lol.

You ever go to Coldstone?

It's like the ice cream version of Benehanas.

That chain flashed here then disappeared. They were in Tim Horton's for whatever reason.

We still have them in Arizona.

There was one at the Ontario Mills Mall and in Redlands, CA not to far back.

So, I wonder if they are downsizing there too.

I have had 6-7 milkshakes over the last 8-10 years.

Very rare when I get one.

There's one about 5 minutes from me. My wife and son tease me because I get overwhelmed by all of the choices and just end up getting a shake any time we go.lol

Thoughts on Browns/Watson presser if anyone saw it.....

Some will say Watson was coached and he likely was. However, as someone who coaches people for interviews (obviously not this type) sometimes people are who they are. If a guy is irrational, obnoxious or a dick sometimes that's hard to coach that out of them. For some reason did not think he spoke well (but might have been thinking of someone else) and he did. also thought he was calm, measured and listened well. Never interrupted despite some tough questions. Came off as a really good guy...or he was good at pretending to be one.

Berry - Heard Florio is blasting Berry for his answer to the question which basically asked if he believed Watson on his version of what happened. Kind of said if he does not say he believes him then he doesn't and that's just not true. If he says that then he gets ripped for not believing the women. He played it right by not saying much of anything about the legal proceedings.
