If Bron exercised his option and wanted to go back to Cavs

Would a Mitchell for Bron swap be possible?

Whoever wins with the Wolves and Nuggets match up will win the Chip. I'm guessing Wolves too.

I dunno. I'm thinking Denver has a better shot at the Celtics than the Wolves

Chumps finally have their 15mins of fame over. Ugh.. was so tired of hearing how jokic didn't care about basketball after winning his lucky chip.

Reminds me of schoolmates who would brag to everyone that they didn't study after getting an A. Just low brow.

Let's move onto bigger and greater things. Lakers should retool for the Timberwolves and Mavs of this league. Legit contenders. Not Mc Tenders.

We have a better shot beating the Wolves and the Mavs in a 7gm than we do the Nuggets... They're a bad matchup for us without Dwight or a Dwight-like player... Plus they play on another level against us... We still need to find a way to beat Denver... Or we need to be smarter about trying to avoid them.

We're maybe 4th best team in the West anyway, so we shouldn't really be talking about who is and isn't a fake contender...

I think the Mavs are going to get past the wolves and lose to the Celtics anyway.

Things floating around the Lakers

* Dlo sucks can't play Defense
* Dlo let's keep he can shoot the 3
* Trade Reaves for D.Murray Reaves no good
* Donovan Is best player we can get, but Cavs no way In hell trading him
* Trade for Trae Young

So apparenlty being able to shoot the 3 over rules any sort of Defense that's non existent

LOL this what what I'm seeing as of late

As for me I'm all In as I've stated b4, for the *We Want Trae* Chants

35% shots aren't the problem.... maybe an offense that relies on them is a place to start... or preventing the over 60% shots on the other end.

We won our asterisk title in the second year of leading the league in points in the paint. Coincidence?

The NBA is nearing unwatchable with the 3 point shot being the core of the offense. We hear about pace etc. but 40 years ago team had higher pace and much higher shooting % with less than five 3's a game.

The idea that Russell is even in the conversation on a team aspiring to a championship for just a shot he can hit 35% of the time is more reflective of where the game is than anything else when you look at the balance of his game.

The Murray trade feels like such a missed opportunity.

feels like the usual Laker tax. Celts don't have to deal with it and in fairness they may have more chips by 1 but they only have 5 in the last 45 years. Lakers have 10 and usually the media spotlight.

One small ray of sunshine is CP3 looks like he's joining the coach that is a flaming azz like him in SA. It's not lost on me that Pop's team stopped Paul again and again in the playoffs. Hopefully that POS never sniffs a championship.
