edit- or your post is 6th dimensional chess re: how suck the OKC franchise is

I meant how Enes was so publicly humiliated for expressing his love for the OKC franchise and then promptly being traded away, and how he still seems to just pine for them to take him back.

Maybe in love with an abusive ex-partner is a better way of putting it.

But by early April, Brand had seen Philadelphia win just nine games. If they didn’t get another win in the final five games of the season, the team would tie the 1972-73 Sixers for the worst record in NBA history.

It was time for some tough love. Brand had a huge poster made that said, “Congratulations on Tying the Record for Worst Team in NBA History” with the number of every player on the roster on it. He hung it in the locker room before the team’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans on April 4, 2016.

I think a better analogy would be a kid from divorced parents who lived with his mom for a while, until she met someone new and decided she didn’t want to raise him anymore, so he got sent to live with his dad for a few years, but he cramped his bachelor lifestyle, so now he lives with his Aunt or something, but still shows up at his dad’s house uninvited on Christmas.

I didn't realize Whiteside still has 2 years and ~52 million left on his contract, what the hell is going to happen to him? He's basically persona non grata in Miami and he was effectively useless in the playoffs so do they eat a lopsided deal to dump off the salary?

I know everyone has heard gerald green was on his couch like 50 times already but this story is kinda cool and gives some back story http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/23216149

quote:

"I go to Milwaukee, I get cut, that really put a funk in me. I'm like, 'Man, it's over for me. I can't even make it in training camp now?' I told myself that my New Year's resolution if I'm not signed, I was going to write out a big statement on my Instagram and tell 'em that it's over for me, that I'm done, hang my shoes up."

Finally, on Dec. 27, Green's phone rang.

His agent, James Dunleavy, called to inform him that the Rockets wanted to sign him. Green thought it was a cruel joke -- too good to be true -- and he wasn't in the mood.

"Look, man, stop playing me, bro," Green recalls telling Dunleavy. "I don't got time to be playing no games. My son is in the hospital. I ain't got time to be playing no games. This is not a good day."

Then Green hung up, only to have Dunleavy call right back, convincing his client that he wasn't kidding.

It's undefined. Maybe the logicians have some pedantic other answer, but mostly we'd just say that percentage isnt defined over an empty sample.

I hope, anyways. Maybe there's fights in my future.

Whiteside. There exists a possibility that he gets hit on the head with a coconut or something and fixes his badbrains.

Edit: Unless you meant literally shackled to in which case I would do a Frylock impression and laugh with Evan.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

MOVIE MAJICK posted:

Whiteside can physically do everything he needs to do to stay on the floor so I'd prefer that and just hope whatever switch needs to be thrown for him to be motivated again gets thrown.
