Is interest in 34 year old Collison really thread worthy?

Must be, since it gives you the need to make a comment regarding it. :o

Ok .. hmm I wonder why . He was rumored to be laker last year and year before. Played a couple games for us . I’m guessing Irving thing is not happening

He was foolish for retiring the first time at 29-30.

Expectation: Kyrie Irving
Reality: Darren Collison

The Lakers are a poverty franchise in disguise
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord

I'm not sure what to make of either Darren Collison or the Lakers interest in him. He must have a friend in the franchise.

Darren was just trying to spread the word about the second coming of Christ. The Lakers misunderstood and invited him in.

The Lakers gave Collison a 10 day try-out last season, but he wasn't ready for a full return, so he went to the South Bay Lakers to get back into the swing of things. So I think the Lakers may have promised Collison a second look if he went to the G league to get back into game shape and that may be what this was about.

No different than Kyrie's beliefs or Hakeem's. Also believe I heard Wiggins was same religion.
