  1. La profondità delle intuizioni condivise qui è notevole, simile all’esplorazione di territori di pensiero inesplorati.🍭

  2. I would love to have an inside connection to the Blazers so I could be working for them. Their is no other way this GOOF has this job.

  3. Casey: I've been reading your stuff for a long time. You're great. Your podcasts have too many edited cuts. It all feels very automated and very rushed. Not natural.

    Would you be willing to do 5 episodes where you're not editing out all the small pauses or whatever you're chopping out, and just letting it all flow more naturally… even of there are some "uhs" and "ums" ? We could all then give you feedback and you could decide how to proceed.

  4. I'm already sold on Clingan. I preferred Knecht, and wasn't upset by the Clingan pick, but it has grown on me and Clingan is damned easy to root for.

  5. The most impressive thing about Clingan is he knows his strengths and weaknesses and plays to his strengths. That's hard to teach. He also has elite defensive upside…He will be a good defender year one but not elite (Yet)

  6. Aytons days are numbered. Cling Kong is legit as a defensive presence. This front office needs to ship out Grant, Ayton, Ant, and Thybulle ASAP. Let the young guys like Scoot, Sharpe, Camara, Rupert, Avdija, and Clingan grow together.
