What is the streets saying? I don’t pay attention.

The NBA memo, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, said the FBI has connected some burglaries to "transnational South American Theft Groups" that "incorporate advanced techniques and technologies, including pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming devices."

I didn’t want to get political. I’m in Florida and there has been these type of burglaries on the west coast since the beginning of the year.

If we are full roster, we will beat the Cavs no matter what. If we are without KP and they are full roster, assuming they also have the home court advantage, I don’t know. I wouldn’t bet for us then.

The Grizz talking the Nets about Finney-Smith. That would be a very good pick-up for the Grizz.

Former Celtics on the Wizards showed out in the OT loss against the Knicks -- Champagnie w/ 31/10, Brogdon w/ 22/3/7.

Knicks now just 1.5 games behind Cs.

They're the new 2020 Raptors.

Brunson is VanVleet.

OG is OG.

Hart is Lowry.

Mikal is Siakam.

And KAT is Gasol.

How the **** is DJ Mbenga in the top 20 players all-time in win percentage (min. 200 games)??

Guys from Showtime Lakers, 80s Celtics, Duncan's Spurs, and Russell Celtics I understand. But DJ Mbenga??

Dang!

Whoa that’s a surprise!

Offensively, Shake Milton is having a strong season season off the bench.

Addition by subtraction with DLo alone. Anything else is a bonus. Surprised didn't need more just to dump his expiring ass.

Kicking that tank into high gear. Solid move for Lakers but ultimately probably not enough.

That is a surprise. The 3 x 2nd Rounders are an interesting addition and tool.

Absolutely. One of those picks must be the 2025 Clippers' 2nd round pick.

It looks like the Lakers have no picks left in 2025 or 2027 (either round), and then they have their 1st in 2026/2028/2030, and their 2nd in 2030. Aging stars, window closing, running out of picks... You hate to see it.

EDIT: They do have Bronny, though.

ConstableGeneva · Post #1959 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Sun Dec 29, 2024 6:14 pm

Not-so-bold prediction... Bronny plays in Europe the 1st year of LeBron's retirement. Then returns to the NBA as soon as LeBron owns the team in Vegas.

I wonder if Brad can get the rights to Bronnie for a yam and juhann sandwich. I’m not willing to throw in a bag of chips. That’s extra.
