You notice a pattern - got more talented, younger, meaner, and deeper for 2012-13, and fixed potential cap issues (i.e., Klefbom for Erskine). Anderson gives me a boom or bust guy - if he busts, I'm helping myself with my 1st round pick. No way I was going to contend against the likes of Boston, Colorado, Columbus, Toronto, or Los Angeles.

Cheers.

WHERE THE FUCK AM I!?!?!?!?

[Nick]

I hope it was clear I was entirely joking. Though not as much as Anton.

[Nick]

Holy. More trades then I can even kinda wrap my head around. No need for a trail period and the such!!! Lots of hopes pinned on RNH vs ROY++ or MVP


Mind you if he plays with Hall and dominates... Then... Maybe ?

[anton]
