Look some might forget but I never do. I remember the pain you went thru when you decided to go all in and then all your guys decided it would be cool to get hurt the first week of the playoffs… Since then you’ve been happy to “watch your flowers grow” Has anything changed? Do you see a situation in which you make an effort to maybe cash some young talent in for more production this year?
Red… So much red…
A sea of flags mocking me at every sight.
Never have such pain been felt by the mere act of opening a web page, but that is what I went through every time I clicked on Fantrax and saw my roster sheet during playoffs. Just a bunting of mockery laughing in my face.
Pain… So much pain…
I could not bear, away I went from everything basketball related, for weeks the idea of an orange ball compelled a rage, the fleeting thought of a rebound spited me to no end.
A broken finger… A sprain… A concussion… Another sprain… What the fuck is a sprain?
And why now? Why not a month ago or the days before? Now? Fucking now?
Exile was the only solution. I then proceeded to entail on a pilgrimage, my own Compostela is what I needed. For weeks I was gone from the fantasy world, on a new journey.
Little did I imagine it was going to land me in the arms of a flaca named Caro that lived in a mountain in the middle of the island, she had no booty, no tits, no hips. And still i was so drawn to her, it made no sense.
Until the morning her ex husband came late to pick up her kid, as i saw this woman yell at this poor sooder with no pullout control i was finally able to understand why…
It was about how I felt around her, That's why i'm here! isnt? To feel, nothing more. What's the meaning of life? Fuck you, shut up and feel. Eat some shit, work, hang with friends, teach a flaca the trick is to lick the balls while stroking the shaft; that's what life is about!
At last I realized… it was the same with fantasy… it was not about the chips, or the trades… or any other crap The Weasel is always scheming... Is about feeling it, enjoying it. Been there, having fun. Have the experience.
That's when I decided to come back home, open the laptop, tell my wife the work trip went well and login to plant my flowers.
Because now my mission is to enjoy their growth.
What would need to happen for your to categorize this coming season as a success?
For a moment there, success was only achievable by painting my name in Hot Pink. But after the events of August 25th, I fear success will only come after I am personally responsible for the laments of Jake.

You re-up Mitch Robinson to a 5 year 15.69 Million dollar deal this off season. What gave you guys the confidence that Mitch was a guy you wanted to be a Clippero for the long haul?
The frase “Built in a lab” is overused here. But Mitchell Robinson was truly built in a lab for this league.
There were only two things stopping him from becoming a beast. Foul trouble and missing games.
Last season he fixed both.
First, he played 72 games. Go to your team and find how many players played 72 games, it is going to surprise you.
He reduced his fouls per game to 2.7. Two point fucking seven… While playing the most minutes in his career… While playing 72 games !
He is 24 years old.
Thibs likes him.
He got extended by a team that hasn't extended rookies for decades.
All of this improvement came in a year where he had a crazy amount of competition for minutes. Do you remember the hype for Noel in New York? He was going to take the job they said. And the weird lovefest Thibs had with Taj Gibson.
Mitch saw all of this and embraced it, overcame and improved. That's the type of shit you wanna see.
This man will average 30+ as a minimum.
Is it safe to say Anthony Edwards will be a Clippero for the foreseeable future?
Yes.
Your team is fullllll of young talent I don’t even really know where to start.. so I’ll pull a reverse. Is there someone on your roster you want to highlight? Which flower are you particularly excited to watch this year? Honestly you can talk about multiple.
- I think I love Austin Reaves. Like proper love… Brokeback Mountain type love. I would surrogate his child in my body. I just want him to be happy.
- I don't know anything about Moussa Diabetes besides the 40 minutes of youtube clips i saw before drafting him. But he is french so we like him.
- Sometimes I forget Keon Jhonson is in my squad.
- Keldon Jhonson = BIG BODY !
- Simone Focaccia = No joke, this man made me think about baking a Focaccia but then I saw the amount of olive oil that thing requires and noped out of that. Olive oil is expensive dude.
- Haminou Diallo - I just like watching him play basketball.
- Terence Davis - I just like watching him play basketball.
- Jalen Smith - As long as he wears goggles to play he will have a place in my team.
- Jakob Poeltl is 26 so fuck it, im adding him to this question... And will use it to officially announce that… He will be dealt this season, to whom? That's up to you.
If the right deal does not come, I will keep him for my playoff push and he will go to the FA pool. He is 10m dollars, that's an elite contract for that purpose.
You are the creator of #Thelist. Have you gained any traction on acquiring any of your targets on that list?
No
I don't know why. Sometimes it feels like people are too scared of making decisions.
Will keep trying though, i need a 2 x 1 deal.
Unfortunately Lonzo has been battling knee issues for the past couple years. We’ve repeatedly heard he is unavailable. This is your opportunity to publicly back the talented young guard. What are your hopes and expectations for him this year and beyond?
Mmmmmm…
