Good writeup!

I pray that the Toronto trio of Barnes-Barrett-Quickley finds success in the future for the sole reason that their initials form BBQ and would be great for trash talk

However, please do not use the term "yoffs" again, very please and thank you <3

LOL I've never noticed that, but you're right. BBQ chicken, indeed.

And I am surprised how many people don't like 'yoffs, which I think is fun to say and write ha. Noted, but I make no promises.

Good stuff, it's important to realize that as glorious as our brilliantly prescient successful.predictions feel (and are somehow much more easily remembered!), there are plenty of airballs in the mix too. :)

I'll pat myself on the back for for Dallas. I was like, those are EXACTLY the two guys they need! And they were! And now they're even better, as you note, because they didn't shoot the salary cap wad on a bigger name.

Then I was right there with you on Roxier. It's not that I thought he was a huge difference maker, but just rock solid on both ends, a perfect Miami fit, decent upgrade on both ends over 37yo Lowry.

Even after last year's dud I thought he would come back with a solid 5th-6th man season. I mean, he's only 30. Boy was that wrong. He's gotten every chance to right the ship (28 mpg) and he's just laying eggs.
