Charl...I have no idea what you're talking about....
Someone posted/tweeted/whatever....."big announcement sat".....everyone assumes it's about dunn b/c what else would be big....
Coren's been saying "Dunn stays"....which may or may not be the announcement....I've not said anything about puffing oneself up or being the "insider"....

Charl...I have no idea what you're talking about.... Someone posted/tweeted/whatever....."big announcement sat".....everyone assumes it's about dunn b/c what else would be big.... Coren's been saying "Dunn stays"....which may or may not be the announcement....I've not said anything about puffing oneself up or being the "insider".... Well, that's too bad. The Internet is a miserable form of communication compared to all of us sitting in a comfortable room talking it over. I'm sorry if my communication skill is lacking here. I'm not aware you said anything about being an "insider" Someone else said to the effect some people like to come across as having access to info, as if to suggest some of these sources may think highly of themselves. "Puffing" up their importance. People do that sometimes. Someone else, not you, suggested that can always be a possibility. All I am saying is that I cannot tell if Coren is hinting that he was told what the announcement was going to be about. As opposed to being told there would be an announcement, content unknown. That's all I'm saying. You don't see it as a hint that he knows more, but rather you see it as Coren speculating his best case outcome. If me saying in so many words is I don't know if Coren is speculating or hinting he knows more is what you "don't understand what I'm talking about", that's fine. I surrender. I lack the necessary communication skills for this medium. I can accept that. It's too bad because I honestly don't think our differences are all that tough to understand here. But, if they are, I will take the responsibility for being a miserable communicator. Let it be my bad.... So, I'm trying here. But, I confess, I don't know why you don't know what I'm talking about. You're disagreeing with me. I thought I was clear enough, and that if you disagreed it was because you did know what I was talking about and just see Coren's comments as all speculation. I thought you just disagreed. I did not think I was coming across as spewing so much gibberish that I simply could not be understood at all. Is that really the case? Because I'm knocking myself out here to be understood, lol. I think it can be seen both ways. I understand you see Coren as simply speculating what the content of the announcement is. And all I am saying is I just can't tell that from his actual comments. If you can, and I can't, then, fine. Maybe my mind is not working correctly. Maybe dementia is setting in here. I'm speaking gibberish as far as your concerned. Yet I understand what you are saying, I believe. I still think the difference arises over whether one thinks Coren is speculating about the content of the announcement, or telling us it is about Dunn because he's been told as much. I just can't tell which it is. Again, if that makes me seem clueless from your point of view, that's fine.

Someday I aspire to be a man of few words, lol. Instead of a man who edits again and again. I see your ditto and I humbly concur. In a very short time, all speculation will be in the past. We are all on the same page in the answer we want to hear from Kris Dunn.

Still just smoke.... this just posted:
Providence Friars @pcathletics 2m 2 minutes ago Providence, RI
Contrary to social media reports Kris Dunn has NOT made any decisions about his future plans. Still researching options. #Gofriars
Will "el fuego" make an appearance on Saturday? Perhaps...

Well that little tidbit from PC could be taken as an ominous sign, eh Wojnarowski is stating "league sources" as in NBA in his piece...I presume he has a good track record? Kris is the last Big Timer remaining who hasn't officially decided nerve-wracking

As an aside, I love this chit chat back and forth between Charl and walk
might wanna shorten things up a tad Charl...walk rarely writes more than two sentences and it remains a
mystery as to just how many he reads

OK, Dex. I am way too wordy. To me, it sounds like the NBA is trying to spoil the Saturday night surprise party, and PC wants nothing to do with it. If Kris enters the draft, so will I. And I'll go higher.

Kris is the last Big Timer remaining who hasn't officially decided nerve-wracking Nerve-wracking, indeed! I'd be more confident farting while suffering from the flu, than I would be in betting on Kris' final decision.
