Their players held a meeting because they said they felt they were playing with no heart. I don’t think their solution will be adding a player who doesn’t want to play there and is known for quitting lol.

After one game holding a players meeting means the whole mix is wrong IMO.

They could decide to give the keys to Harden and move on from LaVine and/or DDR.

But as Stanford mentioned... the easiest thing to do is fire the coach.

Why the hell did Jalen Suggs attempt 7 3pa in the opener?

He's my biggest disappointment in the past couple drafts. Dude is a bust right now.

Bruce Brown's new season Sports Reference pic is something else.

Hahaha yeah, never fond of him and guards who cant shoot and score. Another one is Anthony Black who I dont even have him at my mock in the first round this year.

Speaking of Magic, our boy Jonathan Isaac looks to be healthy. I think he just wants to sit out last season for the Magic.

So far, the Lakers doesnt look good. Its just funny how at one point people were hyping them so much, until the Dame and Jrue trade went down

Lakers is trying to build around Anthony Davis, but I’d rather trade him. I think he’s too relaxed with the Lakers. He needs to be fired up.

I hate how much sports betting is involved nowadays. You have podcast being sponsored by them and they talk about directly or indirectly taking the over or under on certain odds. You also have games on TV showing the odds and even live game odds.

I also wonder if it will increase underage kids getting into gambling problems

I think the Lakers should trade DLo asap. He takes up too much oxygen in the room that should be going to Reaves. Better off finder a better defender if they can.

I like how Lebron is entering his late career YOLO stage where he gives really good interview soundbites. Kobe was the same way late career just saying whatever he wanted lol

Every year LeBron and AD are not getting better, their teammates on the other hand should outpace their improvement over LeBron and Ad’s decline.

Gilbert Arenas campaigning for Cam Thomas makes me feels even better about my negative opinions on him.

Luka should be frontrunner for MVP
Celtics for championship

Totally agree, but the answer is unequivocally yes. It's always 'follow the money', and gambling is becoming the primary revenue source. Much like tobacco, they will provide those warnings about addiction, but the gravy train will roll on.
