New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

And a thought entered my mind about the shooting of guys like Ben Simmons. With so many assistant coaches in teams lately, why hasn't been there a 'shooting coach' ? I mean in baseball there is a batting and pitching coach. Ray Allen should be much sought after as a shooting coach, or Reggie Miller.

Steal Chip Engelund from San Antonio. Look what he did for Kawhi.

I nominate Shaq for free throw coach

Perfect for LeBron, may he miss some more,

This is one guy Ben Simmons or the Sixers should seek out. Also a leftie, also 6'9". 2 time NBA champions with the Celtics Dave Cowens. At age 67, making all those long shots and trick shots to boot like he was just 5 feet away from the ring.

The iconic Boston big man could still sink shots like it was nothing decades after retiring.

Cowens still has it - that was fun to watch

The Jason and Jared show in Dallas.....Jared was the Lakers biggest cheer leader on the side line this past year. His playing time must have been measured in seconds and not minutes

Reality check for LeBron and Team Methuselah. IMO this will be LeBron's last chance at a title as most of the players are needing either cataract surgery or Prevagen so they can remember how to get to Staples

Team Methuselah.....very clever name.

Team Methuselah.....very clever name.

I had to look that up. I thought Moses was the oldest.

But still, the Lakers are number 2 ranked as favorites to win the title.

Yahoo Sports seems know I'm a Celtics fan and notify me with such stories. I am first and foremost a Celtics fan from the time of Bill Russell and Sam Jones to Havlicek and Cowens to Bird and McHale to KG and Paul Pierce. I normally do not subscribe to the media's GOAT debate because it only includes the 90s media and onwards and they mostly just erased the 'greats' of the previous era simply because they were either not born at that time or were just toddlers then.

And this proposal by the staff of Bleacher Report sounds good for the green fans. It's almost like the Westbrook trade.

New Bleacher Report trade proposal sees Lillard on the Boston Celtics WITHOUT giving up Jaylen Brown

It's about as far-fetched an idea as we've seen that might conceivably work...but probably won't.

I'd be shocked. I remember they did the same to Kobe as well in his final years wen they got Steve Nash and Dwight Howard. Lakers were the odds on favorites to win. Nash had a bad back which got worse during the season. He saw limited minutes and the Lakers crashed and burned

I heard that they are enlarging the Lakers physical therapy room as they need to widen the doorways to allow room for all of the wheel chairs to pass

Nets are apparently going all in this year. They will be a team of "big men". Unless some injuries occur, the Nets are going to be a real contender this year

Woj is saying Rondo has been bought out by the Grizzlies and will most likely sign with the Lakers. So, another veteran oldie. Maybe he is the missing link.

 

[Steve williams]

I thought Rondo played well when with the Lakers. AS for the missing link.......you never know but not very likely

@Mike....... I think this is a good trade for the Clipps....

Eric Bledsoe returns to LA for second stint with Clippers​

The Clippers have acquired the guard from the Grizzlies for Patrick Beverley, Rajon Rondo and Daniel Oturu.​

Playoff Rondo didn't show up for the Clippers this year, hence the trade to Memphis.

Perhaps he'll do better for the Lakers....he's the right age for the LAL Shuffleboard Club.
