02-02-2013 – Virgin Traveling
So flying on Virgin America is something I would recommend everyone do. They have a great game controller and I’m alternating between streaming season 2 of Game of Thrones and playing classic DOOM.
I am not flying where I want to go right now; just going to Florida for a conference. But today marks an important milestone in my life nonetheless. After today, I can stop hiding my present actions and the only countdown left is to get together.
Soon enough..
In short, enjoy Portland, bitches!
Isn't it time for a new DE? This one is getting unwieldy.
@annlyn http://thepwe.com/fanposts/annisjustmadbecauseshecantcopyandpaste/
@annlyn you have been nominated to create a new DE and just won practice facility tour tickets! Congrats!
Bargs for Booz? Why would Toronto do that?
@HarrisDave Why would either team do it?
Seems like one of the weirder trade ideas in ages.
@AK1984 @HarrisDave that way neither guy can be amnestied...
@HarrisDave @christopher_m This'd never happen, but the math for what it'd look like if the Bulls used the stretch provision on D-Rose is epic in theory.
2013-2014: $8,656,875
2014-2015: $8,656,875
2015-2016: $8,656,875
2016-2017: $8,656,875
2017-2018: $8,656,875
2018-2019: $8,656,875

2021-2022: $8,656,875
@HarrisDave @christopher_m If Miami saves it for now, then that does make Wade the last possible amnesty guy in the summer of 2015 or something.
@AK1984 @christopher_m Wade in two offseasons.
@christopher_m @HarrisDave Ha-ha, nah. Lakers could use it on Steve Blake, though. Ron-Ron is too important to use it on him, which is shows how thin the Lakers are.
For tax reasons, Miami might consider Mike Miller or Joel Anthony being amnestied.
@AK1984 @HarrisDave kobe. lololol.
@christopher_m @HarrisDave Charlie Villaneuva and Linas Kleiza could be smaller scale amnesties, yeah.
Toronto should consider stretching Landry Fields.
@AK1984 @HarrisDave I've heard Kleiza.
@christopher_m @HarrisDave Off the top of my head, Tyrus Thomas, Drew Gooden, and Kendrick Perkins should get amnestied.
@christopher_m @HarrisDave Who'll be amnesty casualties next summer?
Chuck's 100% right about how Kobe shouldn't question whether or not Dwight is hurt.
@AK1984
I think its great,I want Dwight to hate Kobe's guts and walk on the LA assholes
@AK1984 Yeah, even Magic fans say you can blame Howard for a lot of things, but faking injuries wasn't one of them.
@AK1984 yeah its pretty ridiculous
Barkley is laying into him good, too.
Whoa, I didn't realize that Bill Russell did coach Kenny Smith in Sacramento for half of a season.

Am I bored enough to simulate this on whatifsports?
@jakesnake99 Yes
@TiMB crap, they don't have this season's teams. oh well.
who's playing horse?
Poor T-Zell getting burned.
@AK1984 If he didn't suck so much, it wouldn't be a problem.
@AK1984 he's getting Aaron Rodgers'd
Is the Shooting Stars Challenge or whatever still around?
@AK1984 bring back Becky Hammon!
@jakesnake99 They always have a Texas team, since San Antonio is the only one that can represent the WNBA.
@jakesnake99 Hmm, maybe they should have Sheryl Swoopes come out in a retro Houston Comets uniform.
@AK1984 shed a tear for the Houston Comets.
So does Lillard getting picked #1 by the Big Diesel make Portland folks quit whining about alleged disrespect from national pundits?
If anything, Kyrie Irving is getting disrespected.
@AK1984 I am still pissed that Nolan got snubbed
@AK1984 Why would anything make Portland folks quit whining about that?
@Dan_tm Good point.
Lillard was picked #1
@brandonmitchell Kyrie is going to destroy Team Shaq for the snubbery.
wait are Kyrie/Lillard/Drummond together? Holy shit. (Not watching and I haven't clue how this is working)
@Norsktroll @ian21 @We Want Wiggins MKG and Parsons can play the 4 in this game, while Thompson and Barnes can play the 3.
Play Drummond the whole game and never send in T-Zell. :)
@AK1984 @ian21 @We Want Wiggins
PG: Irving, Kemba
SG: Lillard, Waiters
SF: MKG, Thompson (SG/SF), Barnes
PF: Parsons, Zeller
C: Drummond
Wow.
@AK1984 @ian21 @We Want Wiggins I'd trade the Blazers for that team :-)
@We Want Wiggins Yeah, Chuck's team is going to brick a ton of shots.
@ian21@We Want Wiggins
Shaq's team got Parsons.
C: Andre Drummond
F: Chandler Parsons
F: Klay Thompson
G: Kyrie Irving
G: Damian Lillard
C: Tyler Zeller
F: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
F: Harrison Barnes
G: Dion Waiters
G: Kemba Walker
@AK1984 lolol Chuck.
@We Want Wiggins Who got Parsons? He will be the real game changer.
@We Want Wiggins Yeah, Barkley drafted Kawhi Leonard too early in this type of game.
@We Want Wiggins @brandonmitchell I think he's on Team Shaq now.
@Dan_tm @TiMB @brandonmitchell if there isn't a Irving/Lillard alley oop of some sort, I want my money back.
@TiMB @We Want Wiggins @brandonmitchell Kyrie/Lillard back court will be AWESOME in a game with no defense.
@brandonmitchell Over Kyrie Irving?!?
@AK1984 @brandonmitchell Shaq probably spends a lot of time on BE these days.
@TiMB@Dan_tm@AK1984@brandonmitchell
outsidethenba
I believe he called himself the black Bryan Colangelo. RT@JustinVerrier: Shaq is the Sam Presti of the Rising Stars draft.
@TiMB@Dan_tm@AK1984@brandonmitchell
kpelton
Man, my mock BBVA Rising Stars Draft is in shambles right now.
@jakesnake99 @Dan_tm @AK1984 @brandonmitchell Didn't Griffin skip his cos of the ASG?
@jakesnake99 @Dan_tm @AK1984 @brandonmitchell Or Shaq figures nobody plays defense anyway, so might as well go with the guy who can score from unlimited range.
@jakesnake99 @Dan_tm @brandonmitchell Maybe so.
Or, perhaps, did Kyrie Irving opt-out? I see that Isaiah Thomas and Ricky Rubio have been added to it.
@Dan_tm @AK1984 @brandonmitchell maybe Shaq is crazy like a fox and figures Kyrie will have his mind on the real ASG, this mailing in this game.
#shaqforgm
@AK1984 @brandonmitchell I like Shaq, but he isn't the brightest cookie.
which is unfortunate because its Shaq's team
@brandonmitchell Oh. I was wondering what Lindsay's "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO" tweet was about.
@TiMB @brandonmitchell @Dan_tm Drummond can benefit from a pass-first point guard like Calderon. But Lillard wouldn't be bad either :-)
@brandonmitchell @Dan_tm Look out for frequent comments from yours truly saying 'SEE, SEE HOW AWESOME IT WOULD'VE BEEN?!?'
@Dan_tm will be fun to see Drummond and Lillard play on the same team
