The Knicks already made a blueprint for Pelinka and the Lakers. In most ways, Brunson is a mini Luka. Now all Pelinka needs to do is send away Reaves, LBJ, Hachimura and Hayes. Find himself a Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart and OG Anunoby to flank Luka. And convince a Karl Anthony Towns type to sign with LA after all of that. All before Luka turns 30.

By then Cooper Flagg will still only be about 24 years old .

Nellie has always had a love for PG’s. So it’s not surprising he would say that. He said the same thing about the Mavs when they traded Jason Kidd about a month before they hired him to run their team.

So they will fire Harrison and hire Nelson? Yes please.

Nope, Nellie is opposite of Nico when it some offense and defense. At least he was when he coached the Mavs. He forbid defense because it just slowed the game down. I’ve actually seen him bench guys for playing defense.

@ShamsCharania
Mark Walter is entering agreement to purchase majority ownership of the Lakers from the Buss family for a valuation of approximately $10 billion, the largest sale of a professional sports franchise in the world, sources tell ESPN.

Embarassing. Honestly. It's all a joke.

The Lakers is America's team. The size of the fanbase alone would make other teams look small. So there is the cycle of helping send stars their way. Mavs will have at least 7 or 8 years of Flagg under team control. Then he's fair game after that. If the new Lakers' owner would like to purchase him like Ohtani, then he has a corresponding price. It's sports entertainment. Everything has a price. It's not FIBA. Safe to assume that the new Lakers' owner would like to stack all stars like he has with the Dodgers. So I'm assuming Giannis maybe Jokic to LA too. Other teams are not competing for the title. They are just there to add to the excitement.
