He'd probably have a baby with one of his cousins if he could, but there is nothing that can stop me from loving Ant.

Hahah, pretty hilarious.


And they joking about that end of the game for a reason. LaRavia was unconsciously walking bucket all game. In a very quiet and subdued clean shooting way. Genuinely curious where he came from.



Tho I'm not too suprised, I said in summer this is prolly Lakers better pickup despite others being cheaper/more high profile.

He didn't do much in Grizzlies, but whenever I saw him for King's he was just a flat out good role player.

He was an UFA because Zach Kleiman didn't pick up his 4th year option, which he mentioned as a mistake during his end of the year press conference. LaRavia before he got traded from Memphis was finally healthy and breaking out too. Just really stupid.

There's an awesome guy at my work in shipping. Helps me regardless of amount of notice or terribleness of my paperwork. I don't know his name. He knows mine. I call him the cool warehouse dude. It's been 3 years. I feel terrible.

I got so tired of people on this board obsessing over the loss of DFS all summer. It was so irrational. You would have thought he was prime Scottie Pippen the way they were talking about his defense and how much his absence would hurt the Lakers. I said LaRavia was picked up as a younger, cheaper replacement and he'd surprise people.

DFS started out looking really good defensively but by the end of the season he was visibly slower and less impactful and his shot wasn't falling either. I really couldn't understand why he was being so overhyped all of a sudden after leaving the Lakers. He's a good player but very inconsistent. And same can be said for LaRavia.

Lakers also made a wise move in signing Jake for 2 years. So if he shows up and breaks out during those 2 years, Lakers will have his early bird rights with a low cap hold when 2027 rolls around and the Lakers have all the cap money in the world.

Yeah…screw this guy. He went hard talking about liking Sac and wanting to be back but the Kings were capped on what they could offer because the Grizz turned down his rookie extension.

Sac could only offer like 5.5 per year. So he goes to the Laker for 12/2. We’ll have some greetings for him when he comes back to the G1C. See ya then Jake the Snake. Enjoy being LeBron’s ****** till he’s tired of you (ask AD about it).

New guy geting used to new team. Not expecting this kind of game on a nightly basis, but he only needs to play some defense and hit open 3s. Like a cheaper DFS.
