ESPN showing clips from Lakers practice. Tweeting out the final lineup the Lakers used in their practice.

I’ve never seen anything like this, not even the Miami Heatles were getting practices treated like games

Hope the Lakers miss the playoffs again. Not out of the question.

All Bucks fans should hope the Lakers underachieve again this year that way the media focuses on them and ADs free agency instead of Giannis

Ahhh, it's that time of the year when we go "why does the NBA choose to price gauge on Australians for league pass?"

It would be clear and evident tampering to admit a clear fact: AD and the Lakers have already agreed to a 5 yr max extension in the offseason.

If I'm not mistaken the extension he can sign now won't change in the offseason so wouldn't he just sign it now?

Is there a comprehensive site listing all of the "new" official heights of players across the league?

Sooo, who’ve you got: Midds or Siakam at 5/$170m?

For all Midds’ deficiencies I think I’d still rather him than a maxed Siakam.

Love that we’re a week into training camp & still getting Hasheem Thabeet workout news. Quality agent work.

Malcolm Brogdon through almost 3Q today: 0pts (0-6FG), 5ast

This one-preseason-game sample size is clear evidence we made the right call not paying Brogdon.

I want to see how he does this season first but gun to my head i would pick Siakam.

I think we will soon learn that Antetokounmpo is also 6'6".

The most impressive item in Brogdon's first Pacer box score was that he played 34 minutes. He has always stayed under 30 mpg. I would be concerned if I needed him to be on the court for 34 minutes every night.

Siakam is the better/more valuable player, but he's a 4 and we already have a pretty good PF.

I know Looney is hurt (and Klay) but is anybody else injured? If not, Warriors are really going to struggle this year.

AD on the Lakers is just ****, man. Really holding out hope it somehow turns into a disaster and he leaves.
