Like when my grandma quit driving... my nephew got a great deal on a low mileage Camry... it smelled like Icy Hot, but will run until he graduates med school.

I had a '99 Corolla that I inherited from my wife when we got married. I drove that forever. Was going to continue driving it forever. My grandmother had an '03 Corolla with 60k miles on it. She ended up getting sick a couple years ago and stopped driving. She offered to give it to me. So now I'm going to drive that for forever.

I'm sure you've seen the famous craigslist ad on the Corolla... I have read it 100 times and LMAO every time.

I had a Corolla... Loved it. I go see clients and had to get something else because others see a car like that and think I'm broke. Got a Tundra when I became self employed because you can write the whole purchase price off in year 1 and it saved me a ton in taxes. Have been tempted to upgrade but honestly think I'm going to drive it until the wheel fall off... I think it is viewed as being noble to have an old truck. My wife can get the upgrades... she has driven a Niang-Mobile for a while so she deserves it.
 
Like if we replace Niang with Dotson then your main bench unit is JC, DM, Dotson, Royce, (insert center). I think it allows Royce to defend the slower bigger wing and Dotson can take the quicker guys.

Also, with this China stuff is Ekpe going to be available earlier? I heard they are releasing guys from their contracts. Do we risk Coronavirus to bring him in.

Noel would be a good backup C, yes. However I'm impressed with Tony Bradley and want him to keep getting minutes. Part of his problems are about playing alongside hideous defenders like Niang. Also Mudiay has been good and should be considered a long term piece especially if Clarkson leaves a few months later. Also Conley's contract expires next season. Then Utah might end up having no rotation PGs on the roster minus Don.

We need to do what we can to keep Clarkson over Conley imo.

We're looking at replacing our '09 Odyssey. We liked the Ford Expedition, but I'm skeptical about a Ford, guzzles gas, and just a lot of being unsure. Looking at some Toyota SUVs. I don't know. We'll see.

I have a deposit down on the Rivian SUV... might be a little small for us, but I don't want the giant SUV and not paying for any gas is cool. The garages in NorCal don't work well with the big SUVs.

Toyota's SUVs are meh.

My Corolla survived my abuse in high school. I did unspeakable things to that thing yet to this day it is still running. I mostly drive a 96 Lexus Ls 400 which will most likely outlive me.
 
Detroit will need to waive a player to do the Phoenix deal... to save some dough we could send them TB for Wood and Frazier (we then cut someone... NWG and likely Frazier too). Send them one second too... saves them a few bucks and gets them a young center under contract for next year. Next year they will have more financial wiggle room and 3.5M is no issue.

Call Dennis.

I've surrendered to the idea that Niang is staying in the rotation.

Y'all should too.

Several of us have pointed out the downsides of Niang being in the rotation. But it doesn't matter what we think. Quin wants shooting on the floor in that spot. And we aren't going to find a better shooter than Niang. So... it is what it is.

I would like shooting on the floor in that spot too. Well, what I'd really like is a shot maker. It's too bad Niang is only a good shot maker once every few games.
