Not sure if this is a good thing but Spencer Dinwiddie to sign with the Lakers as back up to D’lo
i wonder who they released to sign him
i wonder who they released to sign him
New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season
- Thread starter Ron Party
- Start date
There were games when he was in Brooklyn when he was shooting like a machine gun. Then he got a big contract extension a few years ago the tune of some $20m a year for a few years, which will end this season. Lakers will be paying him cheap since the Raptors waived him and paid the bulk of his salary. If he does well, he will get a new contract from Pelinka.

Steve, this is how Pelinka got him in.

If the remainder of the Lakers could ever get healthy and field a complete team, I think they would be a whole lot better than what they are now

Cavs are a special team and after a few years of watching them get so close to being a contender, this very well could be their year,. They ride a leaguer best 8 game win streak intomToronto where they lead the Raptors in the 4th quarter by 20 poitsw
I really like Donovan Mitchell and he and Lillard are 2 players IMO who deserve a ring

Clippers remai overall the best team in the league at the moment and a win today over the lowly pistons put the Clipps 1/2 game behind the Wolves. Denver is also tied with the Clippers however Clipps are ahead by ,006%
If I were to make a call today in the WC it would be Clippers vs Nuggets with the other 2 teams in the final 4 being thew Wolves and OKC .......although I still cannot discount the Suns

I saw Gafford in a game last week and he is a very athletic beast

For a short time, there where rumours that Schroeder might go back to the Lakers. I still like Schroeder in all the teams he was sent to.

I wish I could believe that statement and I'm are @christoph feels the same but to me they are spoilers at the most and will be lucky to make the play in round IMHO. Steph will always be great and has the purest shot in basketball so he will continue to make these shots BUT the Warriors still can't win on the road and their dynasty has reached it's end this year. I expect changes next year for the GSW, I expect Klay and Draymond amongst some of the departees

In the few games I saw him play he was very good but injuries have ruined his season. Lakers have a very short bench now so it will be interesting to see how Dinwiddie performs
Not saying that the Warriors would be favorites to be in the western finals but last year Miami shocked everyone by actually landing in the Finals and were1 loss away from being eliminated during the play in. Suddenly Warriors are now in the 10th spot with Utah. There's this guard Quinones who scored more points than Klay today. He might be the next Poole.

FWIW, the GSW are my second favorite team and for the 19 years we lived in the SF Bay Area we went to many of their games. An all around great team from the top all the way down. I would love to see a rematch this year between the Lakers and GSW in the Play in round
Does anyone believe LeBron will ask for a trade next year. I guess this depends on many things, the biggest of which is whether Bronnie will be drafted. I think any GM who signs with the James gang needs to be fired first and then undergo intesive psychiatric therapy

Totally agree with the last statement.
After this June, James needs to opt in or out of his player option of $51m. He can spare a lot of angst by simply opting out, aka bolting, or worse, firing himself from the Lakers team. Next is to quietly negotiate with Pelinka so he can opt in and be traded to his preferred team, like what Harden did earlier this season. The critical time is June 27, draft day, if Bronny will be drafted and by which team. Maybe Pelinka should just give a hint to the tune of 'Goodbye' before draft day.

I really think (and hope ) this could happen but what if Bronny is drafted by the Detroit Pistons
. I'd say close the door on your way out

Or maybe Ballmer would take the bait and sign him, (he doesn't care about luxury taxes). That would become the Big 4 + Bronny . Can you imagine Lue trying to coach these 4 guysI really think (and hope ) this could happen but what if Bronny is drafted by the Detroit Pistons
I wish he would hurry up and score 40K so all these stupid daily posts to follow LeBron to 40K will cease

what I most enjoyed seeing today was the Cavs are on a 9 game win streak and 2nd place in the East while the Bucks and Sixers struggle.
This last half of the season promises to be the best as so many teams are in contention. I like to cheer on the little guys like the Cavs as they leap over r the Bucks and Sixers. I think Doova Mitchell was the missing link for the Cavs. Good to see him doing so well
