PowellMVP has a nice ring to it, and obviously he'll still be playing here in 10 years, lol.

When do we give Donnie Nelson his flowers for the Powell trade? I mean 10 years is a crazy return for Jae Crowder+Jameer Nelson, and imploding the best offense in the league and a 3rd seed at the time of the trade.

[SleepingHero]

I love the more traditional lineup to start the 3rd. Already looks 10x better.

[Jym]

at least we're not fans of the Suns

No disrespect my guy, it's just that it seems like your goal is make all of US pay for this trade, which is odd since none of US had anything to do with it. If your goal is to make everyone miserable, or to make everyone dislike you...good job? Just not sure why that would appeal to you. 

Just follow him to his new team if you feel that strongly. Wouldn't you prefer to be happy?

You can kick me out of here... You are a Mod.

Feel free. No hate on you.

[SleepingHero]

Klay really does only need 1 to get hot. Back to back 3s I love to see it.

Until the KD trade next summer

It doesn't have to be that black and white. You are free to engage with us and bring other perspectives! 

Your anger is justified. We are all in the same boat though. Read through the Luka thread right after the trade happened if you don't believe we aren't just as hurt as you are.

don't bring that evil into the light

[LukaMVP]

maybe I should not bother to change my screen name until Nico is out. even if we got a new franchise player, Flagg or someone else, he might get traded ANYTIME and suit up in another team's jersey if Nico remains in office.

[SleepingHero]

how many bullshit turnovers have these dudes had by not being able to dribble

[SleepingHero]

Kyrie incredible move

[FireNicoHarrison]

PJ is ice cold. Damn.

[SleepingHero]

HUGE 3 BY DINWIDDIE.

PJ PLAYED NEAR PERFECT DEFENSE ON LUKA THERE.

WOW.

[DL2RimRocker]

still waiting for our next future franchise player, maybe the one we're gonna pick in summer. hope we can somehow win the lottery so you can help me change my screen name to flaggmvp or flaggoat, and that's worth missing the playoffs tbh.

Depending on how long Nico is around that probably wont happen.
Doesnt really fit the culture.
Unless that player available is a Kobe clone, Nico will probably want a balanced team.

[FireNicoHarrison]

Kyrie incredible move

What a beautiful player.

[SleepingHero]

I actually am so fucking disgusted I had to type out that PJ played near perfect defense on Luka.

Sorry for the swear words. I am just that disgusted.

[Jym]

Luka looking gassed

Don’t forget the first round pick we included.

[SleepingHero]

Don’t forget the first round pick we included.

So worth it given how much Powell has provided. Can't even remember who else came in that trade but the Powell trade was such a great one !
