He keeps making unsettling statements like "You have such a nice arena. Hopefully it never gets so hot there it bursts into flames." Then he gives a little chuckle, like he knows the sun can't conflagrate a 100,000 square foot building. That's where the humor comes from, I guess.
Still, we aren't sellers anymore. We are making this pick and we need a home run because we are attempting the impossible - building for the future while remaining competitive.
We already made some shrewd trades, are solid at every position and our cap situation is in decent shape.
But we didn't make the playoffs because "solid" isn't good enough. We need a general talent upgrade, and that means taking a risk rather than going safe and addressing a need.
So even though we have money committed to his position and don't have a lot of immediate minutes for him, we are taking the player we feel has the most talent of any remaining player and the best chance to be a future All-Star.
We'll take Donatas Motiejunas, and also we have arson dogs. Everywhere. Lots of them.
What does mean "Bring fire hose"? If joke I don't like it.
