Please tell me this isn't true.... that's beyond low if so.

Kyrie's mother died when he was 5.

Lavar is just scum. I hope nothing but the worse for him.

Some Laker fans are dreaming of that DLo/Ball backcourt but I'm strongly feeling Russell will be shipped out at some point in the next 14 months. Offensively Russell can work as a SG, the kid can shoot the rock, but defensively it will be a mess. He is too lackadaisical and lacks heart to play defense. I would guess Lakers likely move out Clarkson, Russell and try to attach bad contracts like Deng/Mozgov so they can be players in 2018 FA to chase PG13.

I've seen Ball in person in HS/AAU and can't say enough about his passing, confidence, leadership, BBIQ, court awareness. Despite all that I still believe Fultz, Jackson, Tatum and Fox (maybe Monk too) potentially have higher NBA ceilings.

As for Lavar..no comment. Will say that yes he is as douchey in rl as he portends on tv.

Yeah.. I love Lonzo, but it's a no brainer due to LaVar really.

Lonzo has no spine to keep quiet to his dad. He's just a follower

Not wrong with this. He can market his brand to whoever he wants

Nope. Wing players are a dime a dozen and we have two of them on this team already (Crowder and Brown).

Woops, excuse my ignorance at thinking Brown was a 2 guard. Well that answers that lol.

#1 pick to Philly for #3 and any combination of Saric, Covington, Okafor? We take Jackson at three. Who says no?

I would say no, and I hope Ainge would too.

Would honestly think about it, but I have an irrational love for Jackson, adding Saric and some other pieces? Wowee

Someone put it more eloquently a few pages earlier, but we are easily the team most in need of consolidating quantity for quality in the league. Why on earth do you want to break up our 1 real quality piece into quantity?

Yeah, or even worse were the people **** on Ainge as being disloyal for trading Pierce and Garnett for the haul he got. They're all happy as pigs in slop now.

Russell's value is hard to tell. I don't disagreee he could very well be moved but I have no clue what other teams think of him. I don't think Clarkson is worth more than a low first rounder

For Russell: on one hand, he's extremely talented. On another, his defense is an abomination, he had the Nick Young thing and isn't the most offensively efficient player all the time.

Im pretty **** sure he didn't know kyrie's mom died. He meant kyrie does not play for his hometown team like he wants Lonzo to (where lonzo could see his mom everyday).

I love this article.

my favorites

That Nets trade was the most stupid trade of all time idgaf about hindsight bias. Unprotected 1sts for 37 year olds....

IF I WAS IN A ROOM WITH HITLER STALIN AND BILLY KING WITH TWO BULLETS ID SHOOT BILLY **** KING TWICE

If you open your window, you can hear the sound of Bill Simmons ejaculating; carried gently by the evening breeze.
