Strat google translate says you just told a man on his wedding day he is foolishly rolling the dice on a total crapshoot when he should have focused on winning the trade by white knuckling the crush he had on his 38 year old eighth grade earth science teacher until she left as a free agent for boca

that was a serious lmao! 🙂

I suspect Jowles did a more thorough job of vetting his future wife than NBA teams do at the combine.

But to be honest, if I could find my high school music teacher now, I would still try to make her sing opera in a moment of passion if she would just give me the chance. 🙂

I’ve been married 11 years. Together 18 years with my wife. 2 kids, 5 moves later still together. Lots of ups and downs, and tough times. We’ve made it work. Sometimes it takes just that- “work”, “compromise” and all the other cliches. I wish you success and a long and happy marriage.

This is a good point for why I’m excited for the hypothetical Kyrie Irving signing. There are 3 factors that I think are true about the current roster potential: Porzingis’ best role is going to be as a secondary scorer, an inside and outside threat that doubles as a rim protector; Frank is a very good defender who’s going to be able to guard PGs and wings very well as he gains experience and gets stronger; Knox will be mostly a scorer and not much of a creator for others, a guy who could grow to be a 3rd option on a good team.

A heathy Irving provides everything this core needs: the number 1 option to ease the burden on KP specially for shot creation and iso / pick and roll; Frank can cover his defensive deficiencies so he can be hidden on the weaker guard on the other team; it also frees up Knox from having to do to much leaving him as a third scorer type of player for his development.

I think it’s a great fit.

As pointless as it is to project this hypothetical lineup, I would suspect Kyrie and Hardaway would be our backcourt, and Frank would back them up.

If you have Kyrie, KP, and Knox on the court at the same time, that’s 3 scorers that can create for themselves. IMO, putting Hardaway on the court with them will add very little value to the offense because he’ll wind up being the 4th option and not an especially efficient one at that. He’ll also add very little to the defense. Putting Frank on the court with them won’t hurt the offense that much because he won’t be asked to even have to do very much shooting but will help the defense a lot. There may be lineups where Hardaway would be preferable like when one of those guys is out, but imo the goal is generally to get 3 scorers out there and then put them with defenders, rebounders shot blockers etc.. Of course if you can find players that do many things well, that’s even better.

If Frank can just become a solid 3 and D guy, he’d be perfect playing off the scorers. Of course we are hoping for even more.
