MAJUSCULE Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Lakers need to wait to complete the Davis trade if they want to sign a third max player, IIRC. In other off-court news, Damian Lillard just put Marvin Bagley in his place. For context, Max Kellerman asked Bagley who the best rapper in the NBA was, he claimed the crown as his own and posted a diss track later that day. Lillard answers back with this about three hours later. I mean, damn. Not playing. Quote Eric Website Gear page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmammal Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I'm still conflicted about the Lakers getting Davis, on the one hand Davis is a top 5 player for sure so we had to do it but, we gave up almost our entire young core that fans including me have been following since they were drafted. My friends and other people I run into all say the same thing, those guys are going to great eventually but once we got LeBron we're on the clock because of his age. I get it and I'll get over it. We got to keep Kuzma which is awesome. The next big decision is whether to use up all the cap space to get another max free agent or use that considerable amount of money to get 3 or 4 star players, not quite superstars but still very good. The commentators who host the Inside the Lakers show are split on this like I am. Worthy says to spread the money around while others say if we can get third superstar go for it. I like spreading it around, if we get a third superstar the money is basically gone, the supporting cast will be third tier players and I think they won't be enough even if the top three are all killers. It will be an interesting summer. Quote Hammond SK1, Mojo 61, Kurzweil PC3, Korg Pa3x, Roland FA06, Band in a Box, Real Band, Studio One, too much stuff...

CEB Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 One of our local kids who did good is going to Memphis. I hope they don't run him in the ground with too many minutes. Hes not young anymore. Great guy. Still comes home. Has given a lot of money and support to our local public schools. He went to the same high school as my kids. They would see him when he visited in support of a cause. He's helped out all the area programs. I thought his 6th man role at the Warriors was good for him when they could manage his minutes until they needed him. Another local kid who's brother I used to work with was a great 6 man. Kevin Gamble. LHS for a small Midwest school has turned out a lot of NBA players. Kevin came back and built a lot of nice low income housing. Something about LHS basketball produces a lot of good community minded men. Great coaches.

CEB Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 My son just told me Memphis is just buying out his contract and Andre is going to the Lakers instead.

LX88 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I have really lost interest in the NBA when I start seeing what these guys are getting paid. I just can't bring myself to root for someone who may be ( with the right investments or something similar) on their way to becoming a billionaire.

CEB Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Watching Stephen A. Smith despair about the Knicks never really gets old. It's starts with the top. The owner sucks. I wouldn't go there just for the way Dolan treated Charles Oakley. Plus isn't the tax climate in New York kind of punitive if you are in an upper bracket? Same situation in Chicago. Gar-Pax needs to Go. Plus with Illinois broke all the tax increases that just went into effect you can sign for the same money elsewhere like Tennessee and take home a lot more money. Bulls better build through draft because no one elite would want to come here. Plus winter is F'ing cold.

area51recording Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 ...and the Nets will still suck. Theyre cursed. dB the Nets ARE cursed, maybe not as badly as the dumpster fire that resides in Madison Square Garden, but close.....it's always interesting to me what drives these guys. Cash, to certain extent, but ANYWHERE a guy like KD goes he's gonna get PAID. Some of it is probably hubris as well, you know, "Oh I know the Nets have sucked since my DAD was a kid, but I can take them to the promised land"....even though the situation in GS worked out pretty well for all. I STILL think after next year off for KD the following season probably results in maybe a 3 or 4 seed in the East and maybe an exit in the conference finals, which, let's face it, would be a remarkable achievement for Brooklyn....

Joe Muscara Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Reports: 76ers complete four-team trade involving Butler I don't know why the headline doesn't say he's going to the Heat, but that's the gist of it. (The Rockets really wanted him, but I guess he doesn't have a big allegiance to playing for them, since this is the second time in two years he's gone elsewhere. I'm fine with that. The Rockets would have had to give up too much to get him anyway. Hopefully they can get someone else to add to the roster without blowing things up during free agency.)

KenElevenShadows Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Eh, you beat me to it. "Kawhi Leonard, a two-time NBA Finals MVP and Southern California native, will sign with the Clippers, spurning the Lakers" More seismic activity in the Southland! Wow. The Clippers are now in the conversation for an NBA championship. Likely a good move for him. He's with a stable organization that has deep pockets, a strong cast of talented "blue-collar" players, and Paul George.
