    Just a quick question Kon since you’re a big lakers fan. I’m sure you already went over this at one point. But were you for getting rid of a lot of their young players and I think a few picks were going to be offered for Anthony Davis? I honestly came into the season with the Lakers being my favorite team to watch. I personally wanted to see AD teaming with Lebron. Plus seeing how well he could improve some of the younger players. However, it almost seems it didn’t work out. Still think they should have gotten rid of Ball, while he would have been worth someone decent or a high draft pick. Are you regretting getting Lebron at all?

    I honestly thought coming into the season that we were going to see the lakers get a 7th or 8th seed. I feel Lebron just sort of gave up on fully trying before that injury. I guess at this point Lebron sitting out the rest of the season letting all the younger guys play and see who to stick with next year wouldn’t hurt. Do you think the lakers have a shot getting Kyrie next season that some sport anaylsts were talking about recently I’ve seen? I think him and Kyrie along with Kuzma would definitely be a playoff team. Or possibly if this was the year Lebron has finally fell off they could probably get some d--- good talent on the team getting rid of Lebron. Just disappointed with how this lakers season ended up.

    I think Tatum trying to do to much... guys let their ego get in the way and everyone wants to get buckets when they are down.

    Biggest thing they need to work on is hustle and to be solid defensively... steals and tip passes was huge yesterday.

    When Kyrie shares the ball and other guys knock down jumpers... they are a great team. Smart had a game yesterday and so did Hayward.... if that is the case they will be hard to beat. But it all starts on the Defensive end...

    My point is their problem isn't talent.

    They lost the last two games after being up 18 points and 28 points... People are really losing sight of that lol.

    If they don't blow the huge leads the last 2 games, they'd be 12-1 the last 13 games, with a 5-2 record vs Bucks, Raptors and 76ers, and with a 3rd place standing in the Eastern Conference.

    Plus with games coming up against the Raptors, 76ers and Bucks, who they have winning records against. If they go 3-0 vs them, they'll be 8-2 vs all 3 teams.

    By the end of February, they could have easily been number 1 in the Eastern Conference, and we're talking about how they're the team to beat in the Eastern Conference.

    IDK, I'm still not worried about games in February. i just hope that they're healthy, and Gordon Hayward starts playing great by March. If that happens, they are STILL the team to beat in the East.

    Until someone beats them in a 7 game series, I'm betting on them to get to the NBA Finals.

    I'm not saying teams can't beat them, but I've seen them play at their best and play at their worst... if they play at their best, they can literally beat the NBA's best.

    So we'll see. I just hope Hayward starts playing better.

    After watching the full interview with Kyrie, he sounded more frustrated with the media always bringing him up and understandably so. Last week he was going to the Lakers, now he's going to the Knicks. Kyrie also says in the interview he believes in the Celtics future and they are leading the race (regarding him resigning). Of course like media does, they took a quote and spinned it to fit a narrative.

    Blow out Indiana in Boston Thursday night and then let down Friday in Miami.

    Pretty much your normal NBA scheduled loss

    Twolves are so f-----..they either keep him and have this situation linger all year and probably get worse, or they eventually trade him for quite a bit below his value due to this situation and how desperate everyone knows the wolves will be.

    Raps think they got the best defender in the league ?!?!?!?!?!? :embiid:

    I think a lot of people are forgetting that Embiid and Simmons are only gonna get better.

    A lot of ifs but Markelle Fultz would be the perfect fit. This guy was a number 1 consensus draft pick in a very strong draft afterall. Back in college he was very good at creating his own shot. You have every right to call him a bust right now but I warn ya... they same people called Embiid and Simmons that as well.

    The NBA is such a weird league if you think about it, I mean there's like 20 to 25 teams every year that have zero shot to win the championship, or even make a deep playoff run, and I'd say around 10 to 15 of those franchises basically never have any shot. Their only realistic possibility is sucking bad enough and long enough to land some high lotto picks, land a huge star and go from there..but even then that huge star will often bail once their contract is up.

    Totally different in that regard than other sports, obviously there's still other 'clear favorites' in other sports but you can still have a team like the Eagles(who I think were projected middle of the pack) win it all, or in hockey they can have a d--- expansion team make the stanley cup, etc.

    Yea unless Kawhi wants less than $15mil a year that MFer isn’t sitting out haha.

    This is borderline robbery for Toronto. I still think Boston is too stacked for them to get to the finals, but their defense will be NUTS

    Bro if he's healthy, why tf would he sit out in a contract year while playing in a city that will embrace him, a team that is legit good and has a ready made situation for him already. Dude gonna ball out and go earn his max from LA

    Media a bunch of r-----s who got nothing else to debate this time of year except for LeBron's shorts at a summer league game

    He won't sit out and you're mentally challenged if you actually consider that a possibility
