Where/when did the word "Jabroni" originate? First time I ever heard it was from some kid I knew in high school, around 2002-2003ish. It was a small school in a small town, and he was the only kid who ever said it. Most of us figured he came up with it. Then I hear Mac on Always Sunny in Philadelphia saying it a few years later. Since then, I feel like I rarely hear it used without at least something Philly involved. Is it a Philly thing?

Jarrett Allen in theory sounds good. But I don't find as much value in Chriss sitting and either him or Looney being relegated to the third line AS I WOULD in Chriss starting, Looney backing up, and potentially signing a 7'footer at the Vet minimum. Maybe kick the tires on Mark Gasol with that Mini MLE but as I've said here repeatedly, you sorta have to play to the strengths of this draft and DRAFT a lead guard with your top pick. Trade for a SG or a wing on a not so friendly contract with the 17 mil TPE in turn making your Guards and PFs the strength of this team with Centers and Wings being complementary pieces.

Imagine (sorta) a backcourt with Curry and Klay backed up by Lamelo and a solid SG and relegating Poole and maybe Mulder to that 11-15 line. Your Guards are your strength, then the possibility of Wiggins and GR3 as your small forwards, Draymond and Paschall as your PFs and a 7 footer on a minimum with Chriss as your starter and Looney as your backup (along with long term Project Smailigic). Id say if healthy, that team is Top 4-5 in West.

I haven't closely watched Mulder, can he handle point guard duties? He seems like he could be a two-way contract option but with Curry on the roster it's hard to justify having too many other guys 6'3 and under.

There's a lot of really cool tidbits around GR3 and Burks from last night in this Athletic article

Really hoping the Warriors revisit those guys in the offseason

Seems to be trouble brewing in Nets-land. How about swapping 1sts with Nets for Jarrett Allen? That gives us a big defensive minded center and a mid round 1st while Nets get a top pick to fill in their Irving/Durant/Jordan core.
