lmfao, one of the best things I've read on here in a while.

What a game to attend. So glad I was able to go. Rocky start, but it was a lot of fun.

We are going to learn how to win, thanks to KG. It's not just "veteran leadership", which everyone seems to pooh-pooh. It's "championship leadership".

Tim, Tim, Tim...how can you leave me out of the early deal supporters? My first post talked about addition by subtraction, and that this was about Flip realizing you can't win with a starting PF who can't rebound or defend? I admit I have struggled with aspects of KG's personality over the years, but I liked this deal right from the start. KG vs. a non-rebounding PF who could have extracted $10 million from us next year? Not too hard to like that deal!

Yes, you were as thrilled as I was moving Thad. But you weren't really on board with the return of KG...
