I wish I knew how to fix that, guys. It has to be some sort of a bug with this particular version of the board, and something too large for me to pinpoint, because I was digging through the coding yesterday and saw nothing. I think the only resolution will be a major upgrade, but that asks for a new skin...and even if I want to keep what we have, it's still a re-design. I'll probably go that route, but it'll take me a bit. Sorry guys.

It depends on a lot of things. 1) Am I contending right now? If I'm contending, I'm going to keep him around and push for a championship. Why? Winning cures all. However, this is in regard to someone like Kevin Durant, Dwight Howard, or Carmelo Anthony, not James Harden...which leads into the second question: 2) Is he a superstar, a franchise player, all-star, or just a star? I define all four differently. Kevin Durant is a superstar. Andrew Bynum is a franchise player (subtract the injuries, he's a guy you can build a team around...not necessarily a contender, but a playoff team). Russell Westbrook is an all-star...definitely not a superstar, not a franchise player...but he's good enough to be considered a championship-level second scoring option. James Harden was just a star, in the role he had with OKC...borderline all-star. So, I'm not going to be THAT nervous trading a borderline all-star, especially when I have a superstar and an all-star sitting ahead of him on the roster. However, a big factor that can't be ignored: 3) How much potential does he have? Harden's potential, to be an all-star or beyond, is what would matter the most. You saw shades of it every now and then, and you got this idea that he was definitely a future all-star player. That's when you sit back and start to pick apart his game: he's an efficient scorer, a willing passer and good facilitator, and he's an energy guy that can play bigger minutes than what he was served in OKC. --------- If it's Harden we're talking about, I probably would have pulled the trigger if it meant landing a promising rookie and a pure scorer...so the trade isn't THAT bad for the Thunder (but I don't like Kevin Martin, so I'm only just trying to make sense of it). The only problem (like I mentioned) is that they are missing out on a facilitator that can actually draw defensive attention, and Martin is nowhere near the defender Harden is. Otherwise, a lot of factors come into play. If you have a gut feeling the guy is heading out the door, maybe it's best to deal him before he complains...to get the best trade possible, and to have your team set by November. The longer you keep him around, the closer you get to February, and it's possible he loses value as each week passes (unless he's playing out of his mind).

Care to point out where he's wrong there?

Typical lib argument. Three step process: 1. Mention George W. Bush like that matters right now. 2. Claim Obama has delivered on "many of his promises" which is complete bull-shit. 3. Blame the Republicans when the Dems have had full control at times during his time as president. I mean, we were out of Iraq when he promised, right? Nope. Gitmo was closed, right? Nope. We cut the deficit, right? Nope. I could go on and on, but you'll blindly defend Obama to no end. Honestly, in one post, can you tell me why you're voting for Obama. What's the basis of your vote, and why has he earned your vote after he's been a colossal failure? http://theydontfoolme.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/liberallogic101c.jpg

Damn, that was awesome, we got it done everywhere tonight, and in the post game interview what is Melo talking about? Getting better in practice tomorrow, [expletive]ing love it.

O_o scarrrrryyyy

Never underestimate the powers of His Greatness.

The skin you use (skin ID) is added to the database, so I'm not really sure if there's anything you can do. But, I just use the IPB app. Search for "IPB" and it should be the first one you see...has the Invision logo. It's mobile, all the time, and it's really awesome. And Kyle, I have no idea.

Give me a minute.

I'll run one for the playoffs.

About 26 people played it the first week...and by the end of it all, two things happened: 1) Kyle was really busy doing other things on and off the board, and 2) there were only 8-9 people participating in the last two weeks Last year's game, it ended with about 2-3 people playing...so really, there was no point in pushing it further. It was best to cut it off before we played it too deep into the season.
