As prohibitive favorites going into the playoffs, we felt pretty good about our chances. Running up against the Blunt Force Trauma Blazers was our primary fear, but once they got swept by the Kings, we admittedly started to sweat. When Parrish left Game 6 of the Conference Finals with a minor injury that would inevitably hobble him for Game 7, we knew our chances had dropped significantly. To that point, Parrish was playing better than Moses in the playoffs, much to our surprise.
…So when someone just offered me 15 points for him? Yeah, that was… like…

But I digress.
If you’re going to lose to anyone, in my opinion, you want to lose to the team that won it all. And it was still damn close, WITH a hobbled Parrish. But, hats off to Chad and the KC Kings. They saw a challenge and built themselves an incredible team that took down my twin towers. Well done, sir. If I wasn’t so butt hurt I would have given you your kudos much sooner.
The break from sim league was mostly depressing, but I came back with hopes of signing a nice FA, but i <expletive deleted> that up big time, so I was depressed once again.
Hence the trade block bump. Hence a few respectable but not ideal offers for Moses, and a few unconscionable offers for Parrish.
The only silver lining was Kelvin Ransey, who’s not an answer to anyone or anything, but he’s a good fit for the kind of basketball we’re getting ready to play in Golden State.
So, goodbye to Eddie L. Johnson. Good luck in Portland (we were outbid on you anyway). And so long Mike Mitchell. We really Fryeing miss you, and had you in our plans big time to come back… but we would have been outbid on you, too, anyway. We wish you the best of luck in San Diego, where we’re certain The JNR will take good care of you and quite possibly kick our ass this year.
In the meantime, it seems like the rest of you all forgot. We still have the twin towers, Robert Parrish and Moses Malone. Will we win it all? I don’t know, perhaps not, but we’re always in the mix with those 2. So we’ll ride on with them, package them up with our next high caliber offseason acquisition of David Thompson (welcome to the Bay, sir), and run it back.
Who’s got the first question?
