Well done GS. I'm hearing rumors that very wealthy tech folk in Silicon Valley are thinking about making contributions to the cause with these super max contacts coming up and the X3 penalties....just rumors, but fuck

Loved seeing another great rook making real contributions and LOVED seeing West shutting Thompson down face to face....gave them a real edge at a critical point in the game Fuck him, and lebron. Kyrie is just sick....the guy lives 5 seconds ahead of the rest of us mortals. He'll be back

Kyrie is the best 1:1 player I have seen since AI at that size, those ISO clear outs are basically a bucket or a foul and he is only 6'3" at the best

If you put Kyrie's heart in LeBron's body, LeBron would be a about out of fingers for rings...J.R. Smith was playing great too...love LeBron complaining​ about how his team isn't a superstar team slapped together like GS ya LeBron try and make yourself believe your actions didn't cause this sorta shit when you went full on illegal collusion to get you, bosh and wade in South Beach....fuck if you hadn't done the same shit getting k love you may well have beat them with wiggins instead...ya know build from the draft...like GS did?

(and thanks for not going undefeated)

Though we still (technically) got the "best" playoff run in NBA history

[kv]

Well ya, due to the first series switching to best of 7 format (wait Lakers won the chip in 16 games took you 17 lol)...and your loss was by 20+ while ours was in ot (prob said it before but I was at that game...the gem of iverson's career)

You faced a tougher finals opponent..beating the reigning champ... although our run was in the middle of our 3 peat heh...whats nice is that both of our loses afforded our teams the luxury of winning the chip at home... personally I'm glad you lost one lol...let me hang onto something!

Congrats..nothing like avenging a lost final.

[Juana]

Yeah game 1 of that finals with AI was something to behold. It didn't matter who switched on him he was in a zone

[kv]

Ya I left staples after paying a small fortune to watch my team come up short...the first words out my mouth were "well, that sucked but I got my money's worth" I knew what I had witnessed was meaningful...shaq had a hell of a game too


Lakers just worked out fox...looking more and more like he won't make it to 5 for creep...I wouldn't be upset if we took him

[kv]

Oh shit Josh Jackson has just cancelled his workout with Boston for a second meeting with the Lakers...Jackson, fox or ball

I like Fox but if they believe in DLo then Jackson is the smart play here since I'm in Big 12 country I got to see him in person in Feb and he was pretty damn good. UT had a pretty good set of players to defend him but he played pretty lights out. That being said Fox lit up a lot of people on the national stage and I really like his game.

[Juana]

Also this 30 for 30 playing right now about the Lakers and Celtics is amazing, tomorrows is also going to be pretty good.

Boo West joined the clips...his kid will probably follow...

[kv]

Hearing rumors of Lakers offering randle plus the 2nd pick for fultz?! Best not be true...

Also hearing that they're wanting to maybe move back to 4 from PHX to get Fox and another pick (either this year or next) since PHX really wants Ball

Can't blame him for doing it if they wanted him and he wanted to be back in LA

[kv]

Fuck the clippers

they cover his championship banner


In other news...ty sixers for looking like you are gonna prevent this randle trade from happening...dude finally is going all in this off season..he is shredded now... I'd have hated to see him in green to move one pick...looks like Philly wants fultz.. he'll be working out for them tonight to seal the deal...now this talk of moving down to sac is interesting...gonna be a long week

[kv]

Two more days till this draft...

I'm hoping cle can pull off this Jimmy Butler trade as I don't wanna see PG-13 go to Cleveland for the year after he came out saying he wants to come to LA...a year in cle could sway that...hoping we don't trade for him now...even though I'd be happy if we did...not sure how all the Lakers pieces fit if we draft ball then get George next year...seems like randle 4, pg 3, Ingram moves to 2, ball 1 with Russel odd man out? Or Russel off bench as 1+2 with Clarkson then out? heard talk of the 2 plus Clarkson and brewer being offered... I'd do that today then we still have moz Deng contracts for space in a year while clearing Clarkson's contract... Cleveland grabbing Butler would really strengthen our hand

Can't wait for this to all come together...sucks it's prob another year away if it happens as all...but I'm def down for another year of watching the kids grow..stoked pg actually came out and showed laker interest...I def had my doubts about him really wanting to come here

[kv]

Wow dlo gone...with mozgov...for 27th and Brook lopez

[kv]

Nets just love giving their draft picks away

We are well on our way to clearing space for 2 max contracts next year....now just don't get LeBron and all is good

You think Magic is not going to gun for Bronny Drama?

[Juana]

At least we got rid of one horrible Mitch signing

[kv]

Yep, dlo was done second our season ended and we were going pg in draft...no need for him with ball coming...plus isn't his contract up at end of year anyway? People are freaking out but we tried to get more for him and couldn't (we tried hard with the smoke and mirrors but everyone knows who we are taking)...so salary dump it is...3 first round picks now...plus we made the nets better which will hurt the celtics

[kv]

Def think magic wants LeBron... unfortunately I can't do it...it would put me off for his years here

[kv]

Dlo had team option for 18/19
Who is better for the Lakers this season...Lopez or dlo?
Lopez imho....and if we couldn't get a lottery pick for dlo now how much would his stock drop getting less minutes behind ball? It's a fair trade...cleaning up the old front offices mistakes...let's hope ball is all that

Still Lonzo is shit

[kv]

Well none of them have seen this level yet so it's all unknown...we are gonna find out some stuff today...be interesting to see if we even have the picks in 8 hours... Aldridge, Butler and PG-13 all being shopped...most of our ammo runs out today..should be interesting

[kv]

I don't want to trade the two now that we shipped dlo we better be grabbing a guard (ball, fox or Jackson) and not reaching for George without having a PG in place
