Trade Chandler and Walker. Two young, cheap and athletic wing players to

Hornets

for

Collison and Peja.

From BB standpoint NO gets younger players, and Chandler is a solid rotation guy. NY clearly gets the better end of it from a talent standpoint, but NO doesnt dump a contract. Trading a long term guy for an expiring is dumping a contract. This is a trade that reduces NO payroll by $18mm because of the luxury tax.

Sorry, but this is a big deal for owners. Jazz just traded Brewer for nothing to get out of luxury tax and we are talking a $2mm contract. Their best wing defender for nothing on a playoff team in the same conference.

There is a certainly a market for this type of deal for the Knicks. Collison will never start on NO so long as they have Paul. If you want to argue that a better deal is out there for them fine, but not a lot of deals will put $18mm right into a cheap owners (Shin IS cheap) wallet.

You disagree. I get it. But there is a market for this. We just saw it

It doesnt have to make sense from a talent standpoint. I already gave an example of why it doesnt. If it made sense from a talent standpoint I wouldnt take back $15mm for a gimpy shooter on his last legs.

I'm not trying to match talent. I'm looking at examples where we can use cap space to get talent. Thats a prime target. Cheap owner, player they dont need, luxury tax team = good chance. Collison for them is an asset. In this case its a put $18mm in my owner's pocket asset. GMs look at this stuff. They work for the owner (in case we forgot that)

ur still hedging around the issue telling me GMs value monetary savings so much they should be willing to give up assets to save on the luxury tax...

I think my thoughts are pretty clear. Im done on the topic

Get a fifth of Everclear for each and see whose left standing at the end of the night.

A couple of weeks ago, I took two three shots of that An adderol and a couple of other goodies and I passed out on a streetlight while I was barhopping.

hahaha... thats a bad combo dude.

I met two friends, a guy and a girl one night for drinks. Both popped a couple xanax before heading out to mellow the groove. We hung out for about 2-3 hours. Nothing crazy, probably had about 5-6 beers or so. Both passed out in their cars on the way home. One at a light and another slowly drove onto someone's lawn. Both passed their blood alcohol test! They got reckless driving or some ****. Neither had ANY recolection of anything past playing pool.

The most potent liquor you can buy off the shelves. Its more than double the potency of everything else outside of Bacardi 151 and such. Its like 190 proof. Pretty much pure alcohol and it tastes like a lit match when you take shots of it.

TMS wrote:holy ****, what's the other 5% made of? Kerosene?

pretty much. I think if you put that shyt in your car it would run for days. Its hot gas, mang.

Its good to have around in case you need to get drunk with the quickness. One or two of those things will have you good for a minute as opposed to taking 6-8 shots of something else. Like if you need to pre-party but you only got 5 minutes. Its efficient.

But if you mess with that shyt tough or combine it with other stuff, you're guranteed blacking out and you better be with someone you trust because its either the pokey or you're waking up in a ditch. Stuff is insane.

U'd be surprised. Most girls love that stuff. But only in a mixed drink. Then again, my refrence point is mostly the college crowd but females are usually down That stuff will get the night active. Not even a question.

But if you want to be slick about it just rip the label off of it and make sure she sees you pour yourself the same alcohol so she doesnt think ur spikin...lol
