The Lakers season is the last season of Game of Thrones that we were supposed to get.

Nah Magic is O.G. and I think he deserves some respect. He explained his reasoning and to be honest Zubac's production did not warrant a chance to free up additional cap space.
His reasoning makes no sense dude. He said he didn’t re-sign Randle because of “spacing” and then later traded Zubac for a “floor spacer” yet in the off season he signed everyone under the sun that CREATED the issue with floor spacing. He sounds incompetent af.
He made mistakes, did some good things too, the man didn't deserve to be backstabbed. Im glad he left, lets see how the next stooge does.

Didn't we though...
Lebron = Jon Snow- prince that was promised and wasted
Magic = Danarys - destined to be their great leader only to be backstabbed
Pelinka = Bran - the leader they got that no one really wanted or expected
Jeannie Buss = Sansa - always wanted to be the lady of the house. Living off of the great family name.

Re: Around the NBA - Blazing into the Conference Finals
Kevin Durant proved yet again that he’s the most online NBA superstar out there, and that probably isn’t a good thing.
Durant took it upon himself to respond to Fox Sports’ Chris Broussard saying Durant’s “worst nightmare is coming true,” with Golden State potentially winning a title with Durant sidelined.
“I see a little exaggeration there buddy, my worst nightmare?? U sure that this is the worst that it can get???” Durant replied Monday afternoon.
When called out for his sensitivity by a random Twitter user in response, Durant again got involved.
“U right, lemme chill before my sensitivity flare up. u real one bro!!” he clapped back.
Durant has missed the Warriors’ past four games — all Golden State victories — after suffering a calf injury in Game 5 of the team’s second-round series against the Rockets. His status for the NBA Finals, should the Warriors make it past the Blazers as expected, is unclear.

New York will eat Durant alive. If he wants to rise above LeBron he has to shut off his social media at least.

it never makes him play bad though, that's all that matters. it probably motivates him actually.

Very true, but I cant truly recall any top player that let such things affect their game.

Re: Around the NBA - Blazing into the Conference Finals
Did Kawhi change teams since last night?
I heard Leonard has 25 points (10-12) for the Portland in the first half of tonight game.
