New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[steve williams]

As the saying goes Phil, "money talks, bull$hit walks"

as great as the league has become, all of these players seek a max contract and before you know it you have created the Lakers Syndrome" where 3 players reach the threshold of the team having to pay luxury tax . When this happens IMO the team is destined to fail as the rest of the team are over the hill has beens


Lakers are going to trade one bad apple for an even bigger bad apple. Won't be long before we see Kyrie, LeBron and Bronnie together with an injury prone AD calling themselves the face of the Lakers

I admire Pop and the Spurs for cleaning house and committing to a team rebuild. Lakers always feel they can win it now which is so laughable. How fun it will be to see Kyrie doing his pregame sideline war dance and spreading incense all over Jack Nicholson's seat...but such is the way of LaLa Land

And it's going to be a real circus, Steve. Hard to imagine basketball has come to this.

 

[steve williams]

I still have to wonder if the Lakers will even make the playoffs this coming season. All of the bad Pelinka deals are going back to haunt them

 

[steve williams]

And it's going to be a real circus, Steve. Hard to imagine basketball has come to this.

The league continues to improve yearly as each new season, the rookies seem to be better and better. The team is now one dominated by youth and speed, neither of which the Lakers possess. The Pelinka deals are going to hound the Lakers for several more years,. Simply put they have no draft choices thanks to AD and Westbrook

 

[steve williams]

I wonder how the LeBron-AD bromance will go once Kyrie and LeBron reunite. This could be the first love triangle in the league

Three-some instead of three-peat

Three-some instead of three-peat

The “three” are so old they can’t “pee”

My respect for James Harden has just taken a leap, with his new contract.
And seeing he is already into his preseason workouts.
It could be interesting if he starts the season in shape.

I've been thinking, if only Westbrook had done the same.
Would have meant bigger pieces added, or easier to trade.

And imagine if LeBron had taken a pay cut as well.
May have meant the Lakers are the talk of the town (for a different reason).

I was waiting for the news of Kyrie opting out and joining the Lakers for $6m. That would have been the most impressive thing he has ever done.

 

[jadis]

The number is now around $60m per season. I believe he's the first member of the club.

That’s about $750K per game.

 

[jadis]

That’s about $750K per game.

And he hasn't won even a Western title yet.

 

[steve williams]

That’s about $750K per game.

Or better yet $15,625 per minute or $260.42 per second

And if he gets 10 minutes rest a game, that's $150k being paid by Portland for him to sit and breathe.

That brings a whole new meaning to “ load management”

 

[jadis]

Donovan Mitchell asking the Jazz management 'what's the plan', seems like a prelude to 'trade me', It's all happening in this era.

I would have thought the Summer League would boost his confidence.

No surprise to me at all.

"But many surmised that there was a hidden agenda behind the tweet and that the agenda may be a backhanded compliment at the expense of James and Klutch Sports.

Many have accused James and Klutch of exercising a disproportionate amount of control over personnel matters on every team he has played for, including the Lakers.

Critics say that James has gotten each team he has played for to empty the clip in terms of young players and draft capital in order to acquire aging vets and overpay role players in order to keep them in the fold."

Is LeBron James pressuring the Lakers to go after Kyrie Irving?

Some feel that LeBron James may be a bit too zealous about the prospect of the Lakers trading for Kyrie Irving.

Breaking down Lillard's last year, for the full year.
He only gets $2/second.
That seems manageable.

But he gets that when he's sleeping, driving, playing with his kids.
