Among the many individuals who I would like to strangle are Beer's front office. They have a rotating NBA governor, this year it's Jimmy Haslam, last year it was Whit-somebody. But the governor's rotating out are still on the decision-making board. It's a collective, a committee, and you know what they say about horses designed by committees. 

So in that vein there are now reports that there is a "split" on the committee (who'd a thunk it?). Some want to get a star back, that would be Jaylen Brown; some want the greater "quality" of Miami's future draft picks. You think beautiful women make a man go cross-eyed? Well, when you're a billionaire sports team owner, the beautiful women are those nameless, faceless, grade-schoolers, middle-schoolers and high-schoolers who make up future  draft classes. Billionaire owners see swans swimming in the future, there are no ugly ducklings. They see that Jaylen Brown is a knockout, but compared to what the imagination can see, he's a beauty for sure, but one who is getting a little long in the tooth and has a mole here and there.

That's the holdup right now (reportedly). That's why I want to strangle Beer's committee. The cognos now say the trade will be announced right prior to the draft, tomorrow at 8 pm.
