Washed up means too old. KJ is 24.
I know what washed up means...
No you don’t.
Yes I do got
And you don’t know how to spell. It’s spelled git, git.
If anyone asked me what it’s like over on ST. The last 6 or so posts about sum it up.
There's so much trash on this board, and I'm talking about the posters.
Thankfully there are enough people providing good insights and fun takes to make it worth.. but barely.
Maybe just talk basketball and ignore the idiots?
Im glad keldon is keeping his number as he should.
Weird fact.
In French, we have the expression “de derrière les ots”. Literally “from behind the ots”, but “ ot” is not what you might think. A “ ot” in French is a woodpile or a bundle of stick, or, also, in English… a “ got”. If in both languages the “ ot” and the “ got” means exactly the same thing, as we use no more wood to heat ourselves, their primary meaning, in English as in French, has shifted towards more figurative, even familiar, meanings. In French, we therefore only use it in this expression “from behind the ots”, which has no phobic connotation, means, initially, something (often wine) well-preserved (not exactly “washed up”, though) and which is given from time to time. The expression, which has become more or less common, familiar and very specific, now means “preciously preserved for a particular use”, but in a sense that has become very figurative, as if to say that something came out by surprise. Both popular and literary, the expression is typical of a “popular well-spoken word”, the French “gouaille” which is impossible to translate and which, for example, made Michel Audiard a success in the cinema.
In English, you already know how the meaning has shifted.
“ ot” and “ got” are therefore almost what we could describe as… “false ” (sorry).

Shut up you bundle of sticks.
Note: the year CP3 was in OKC, SGA shot 42% from 3. He’s never come close to that before or since. That number sticks out like a sore thumb in his stats.
I think Chris Paul sees an angle that leads to him taking over for Pop and coaching Wemby in his prime years.
Years ago I would have vomited in my mouth at that idea, but now it's fairly reasonable given the lack of quality assistant coaches in the wings. How well VW likes him will be key. Most teammates eventually sour on CP3, but we'll see.
No. He saw an angle to getting a more than minimum contract, and leaving either at the trade deadline or the cut but still make the post season roster deadline. If he thought of a future here, he would have at least taken the 1+1 deal, and gotten some injury insurance. By taking the bare one year deal, he controls where or if he can be traded.
Money matters of course, but I really think the main reason is that he wants to play/start as much as possible and be an important piece of a team.
TP was the same and even went to play for a ty team and organisation rather than stay in SA mentoring as a bench player and stay with the same Franchise his whole career
PATFO told him he'll start imo
Oh, I’m 100% sure he’s going to start, and I’m 95% sure he’s going to be gone by the end of February. He’ll have fun here, but he’s ring chasing, and he won’t get it here on his timeframe.
Too bad for him there aren't many good ring chasing destinations.
Celtics, Mavs, Timberwolves, OKC, Sixers and Knicks won't even consider him because they'll have way more pressing needs than a backup point guard, with Denver being the only legit contender that could use him...if they're still a legit contender after their awful offseason, that is.
Joining the likes of Cavs, Heat, Lakers, Suns would be a desperation move, with even conference finals looking unlikely.
I think OKC would absolutely consider him. SGA has mad respect for him, and he had a good last go around there.
pretty sure if paul was ring chasing he would not have wasted his 39th year of his life with the spurs...as there are just not many years left in his career...
not buying this - "he will be gone in 6 months" fantasy...
I'll just take him at his word - he wants to play and feels like he can still contribute - so that is good enough for me...
Why would he not sign a 1+1 then, and give himself some injury insurance? The ONLY reason to sign a one year deal is to control your trade status. He signs with us, gets paid decently, and either gets traded to a destination of his choice, or released,having made much more than minimum and thrown up some nice stats, and then can sign with anyone not on the second apron for minimum for the rest of the season and playoffs. It just makes too much sense.
Because PATFO are naive enough to keep an injured player if that's the verbal agreement?
It obviously allows him to keep his options open, but I don't think it's a foregone conclusion he'll surely leave before the deadline.The ONLY reason to sign a one year deal is to control your trade status.

As I said, there aren't many top contenders that would be interested and if Spurs are close to .500 in February, there's no point in leaving for another first round exit team.
I'd say that him staying with the Spurs for two seasons is as likely as him leaving before deadline.
Starter this season, backup the next and then joins the coaching staff if he's interested.
He seems like someone too invested in basketball to not become a coach. Spurs are his by far the best option if he wants to take that route.
In his introductory presser, CP literally said that he'd rather be playing a lot of basketball somewhere than be around his family. He said his kids 'understand.' It was... kind of odd. But clearly getting a lot of playing time is very important to him.
What I've always heard is that ' got,' meaning sticks of wood, were what gay people were burnt on in Britain (or elsewhere). I'm not sure how true that is, but it's ascribed as the reason why the meaning leapt from what is burned to who is burned. In Britain, the phrase "smoking a " was well-known for "smoking a cigarette," in their peculiar way of rhyming/associating meaning, a cigarette burning like a hunk of wood.
On the continent, I believe, the older meaning of the word is still very prevalent and no phobia has snuck in. In German, the word ott means "bassoon," as in the musical instrument.
