Around the NBA II

Steinmetz has slowly turned into TK. Bringing himself into the story a lot, railing on the same players to get noticed more, etc.

He's had some godawful takes and they just keep getting worse, and in addition to being bad, they are unrelatable. That's why he's been dropped from every paper and channel, and is now working with .net. He wanted to trade Monta for Turkoglu (only Turkoglu, btw). Wanted to build around Monta, trade Curry. Hated Bogut trade.

If I he had to take one of Lee/Love, he'd take Love. If he had to. If he had to, he'd take the best rebounding PF in the league who can drive, pass, and shoot out to 3, despite having one of the worst offensive rosters around him for the bulk of his career. If he had to. Because Lee and Love are almost the same.

Kobe out 6 weeks. Damn, kinda wanted to see him get worked by our guys on Saturday. Kobe always brings the Lakers fans out to Oracle which makes GSW/LAL games so crazy with the mixed atmosphere.

Kobe should just call it quits for this season.....If Kupchak would grow some ballz, they would tank the rest of the season and get a premier player out of the draft, or use a premier draft pick to load up on some players.

I remember he said it was because he wanted to try radio. Which is why he's on 95.7 now.

Well the timeline disagrees, but whatever. Props to him. He's just not that insightful of a guy, and makes astounding illogical leaps without any reasoning behind it. Basically, he's a real life troll

If they tank I wouldn't be surprised if they landed a Top 3 pick in the lottery, too. Might end up drafting the future face of the franchise.

Exactly why I think they should tell kobe to just sit it out. And i know Gasol has an expiring of 19 mil, but they should try and deal him too. Wish we could trade Lee for him, but Lee's contract is for to long.

I think maybe he covered the W's too long and just became even more cynical. He doesn't get on my nerves, when we were bad he trashed the team and rightfully so. I think he's wrong on a few things like the Kevin Love comment, but meh--I just go on about my day.

The Jeremy Lin Foundation donates to Bay Area charity, San Francisco City Impact, to help inner-city, at-risk kids.

Screw that Mylie. I hate the Lakers and want them to suffer mediocrity for a long time. I hope they turn into the premier 10th seed in the West for good.

Wow. With 3 minutes left in the 4th of a tie game, too. Remarkable.

Sad part is that not even the worse thing they did that game.

Was that the game where they were up 2 with 10 seconds and no shot clock...and Bargnani took a 3?

I'd really like to get Xavier Henry for our bench next year. He's a bit inconsistent but he could be a jr smith type player who can get hot. He runs pick and roll. Can hit jump shots, drives to the rim.

He's gonna get MLE money, this year is his big audition. I'd like Earl Clark - he does basically the same thing but will be cheaper.

Earl just got paid 4 mil per and he's not nearly the ball handler nor offensive threat that Xavier is. Earl is someone I'd look at as a defensive 4 though.

He had a decent season with the Lakers last year, but he really excelled more so at the 4 than at the perimeter positions. He's kind of like a lamar odom to me, not quite the rebounder though. He's struggling at the 3 in Cle right now
