Is it just me or does Boogie get slack for his post injury performance that Hayward didn’t get?

It's hard to see how the Lakers could have any locker room problems.

Argh, I was hoping someone would lead Rondo away from evil.

that's the way it works when one guy is getting paid about 25 million more year than the other guy.

Way to go, Perk. Take Woj down a peg.

Cousins is still one of the best big men in the league I think the lakers are going to come out of the West.

Interested to see how the whole KD thing plays out, at least GH got his contract before the injury.

Well **** me sideways. So many players and a coach I love on a horribly run team with obnoxious fans...

Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
now
Pat Riley on Jimmy Butler, "Jimmy’s leadership, tenacity, professionalism, defensive disposition and his ability to create his own shot will improve our roster immediately. Any time you can add a four-time All-Star to your roster, you make that move."

Lol. Riley talk to the Twolves and Bulls young players about Jimmy's "leadership."

Be funny if Golden State still wins the west.

Houston is going nowhere. Would Sam Presti with all the draft picks from the Clippers try to right a wrong by trading back Harden to team up with Westbrook?

Idk man. Achilles injuries for big men are pretty much the worst. And he will be 29 next month. That’s not ancient or anything, but the odds are he’s probably fairly cooked.

Man, Lakers reddit is an absolute **** lol. Sensational.

LMAO at the Boogie-Rondo-AD reunion. :lol:

Davis gets out of New Orleans and has the same players back, but just adds Lebron. Like that's enough for a title. :lol:

That would be hilarious just to see CP3 then stuck playing with a bunch of rooks on a rebuilding team.

At that point, would he finally regret the trade that never was to Boston? Lol.

Curious: was OKC forced to make this trade? Or were they pinching themselves at opportunity to get out of luxury tax hell for a team that can’t get out of first round? That a player can demand a trade “right now” with 2-3 yrs left on contract must be scary to GMs but usually they would just ignore the request. I think OKC is secretly very happy about this.
