Dudley is somewhere with a giant grin on his face.

Pretty much highlighted his value 1.5 games in.

This team is giving me 2012-13 Lakers vibes with Nash & Dwight and Kobe.

Dwight rubs people the wrong way. There were reports of the Hawks players actually celebrating his departure to Charlotte.Houston it seemed no one really like him and in Los angles with Kobe was there for the world to see

Lebron teams creating drama as usual to make sure they have that media attention all season long because kyrie and simmons were getting too much air time from Skip Bayless and the likes.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

AD gets "physical" first. He seems to be the one crossing the line first, by touching Dwight. If Dwight ignored him, then it's a classic deek move but also a reflection of AD's stature within that locker room. He's always been more of a follower than a leader.

AD got comfortable and has declined ever since the Bubble championship. From a distance, his work ethic and intensity seem questionable.

I think the Lakers should trade him while his value is still incredibly high. AD for Dame.

If I'm Portland I hang up the phone half way through the offer. Dame is a better player and a much better alpha than AD. You can build a championship team around Lillard much easier than Davis.

I agree 100%.

I was just saying, this is the sort of move you try to make if you're LA.

Why is AD allowed to get in Dwight face but as soon as he retaliates his teammates pushes Dwight back to defend AD. If I was Dwight I would asked to release immediately, his teammates obviously don’t care about him

I like dwight's post game answer on this. Dwight said they squashed it, and that he supports AD. Something like this might be good for the team because right now they don't look good at all

Missed it live and the replay… not sure why the fan got tossed tbh. Any man with some sense of self respect would slap that hand out of his face.


Yeah, he'll be on Fox News today talking about how easily "triggered" the NBA is when all he was doing was "standing his ground" in the threat of a childish hand gesture. The hero America needs in this darkest hour.

Geriatric team with bad chemistry. 2015-2019 LeBron and they would've won. Now it's too late.

Rubs people the wrong way, but too damn big to actually throw hands with.


AD wins the argument but needs surgery to put his face back together when Dwight destroys it with a single punch.


This is what the Lakers get for having an actual man child around
