Same, bro. Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value. Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo. I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant. And Melo clearly looked like the better player early… I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point… but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.) -
Appreciate that, bro! And I could definitely see that with Cam. Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time. He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night. So I walk all through that area for hours. After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was. As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes… it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena. I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc. Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey! Muggsy! Thank you for the inspiration and memories! You were one of my favorite players as a kid!” But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!” I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him. I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out. At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will… because again, they’re humans just like us. Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate. So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
