New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

The other buddy through B-R is a CP3 trade to Lakers in a 3 team deal

im also hearing Westbrook might be headed East which tells me Harden might be up for grabs

 

[Steve Williams]

I read somewhere the Warriors may target Dwight.

Wow. That would be a tough decision as Warriors are already pegged at 4th in the west but Lakers still one.
I love the Warriors they were my team in the lean Lakers years

And if Lebron really succeeds in bringing Chris Paul in, they will have 3 players in when $40m dollar range, so that's $120m in the cap space.

This is a nice article for a guy like me. Sent to me by my son, whose best buddy is a
Lebron die hard fan while he is not.

nice one

I was telling my son about Tim Duncan who I believe should be closer to the GOAT talk in hierarchy to Jordan than Lebron. 5 rings without team hopping and teammate shopping. He had Parker and Manu visually all his playing career and never said a boastful phrase and is one player whom I truly respect and had done great for the game.

Absolutely agree on that

Teams I guess are passing on D'Antoni....D'Antoni will be good with flatearther Kyrie

But there is also (my) KD

Thats the dilemma. Im hearing $112M

Plus to pay so much for 2 guys at the end of their career

TBH I would rather have Rondo as the 1 but he is backup to LeBron

So with CP3 it would allow LeBron to play other positions I guess. I would still want Rondo

 

[Steve Williams]

But there is also (my) KD

D'Antoni is being ushered out the door. At his age I doubt he will get another shot at HC

Phil

im betting that only is AD the future Face of the Lakers but I feel that by opting out and re-signing with the Lakers he will get a max contract and will likely make as much or more than Le Bron

LeBum's best buddy will tell him to do so to make them both richer than filthy rich

 

[Steve Williams]

You have to cut AD some slack as in the long run he is the Lakers biggest asset

Nice pun.

With the right team, DH is a proper weapon

I have to repeat that I really like AD but he is young and naive and easily manipulated (by LeBum and $$$$)

 

[Steve Williams]

He's not that young. He is however somewhat immature and not used to being in the spotlight

 

[jadis]

My son was suggesting Howard is just what the Celtics need.

 

[jadis]

I just checked that Miami's total salary will drop significantly next year, from $135m to $80m. That is where the max salary of Giannis can come in. Plus Bam and Giannis share the same agent. There we go again with the 'agent thing'.

 

[jadis]

Can anyone imagine a scenario in the near future where AD signs a 5 year max with the Lakers and granting as Steve mentioned that LAL may not repeat, and that LeBron's contract expires the year after or so (he will be 37-38 then), that the Lakers will have not much draft picks left (and assuming the CP3 trade goes on, even Kuzma gone and whatever 2nd round picks are left to give) - that AD will be looking at his lone bubble title, with James and CP3 both gone? That would be a nightmare for him, if he wants his "9 Finals" with Lebron.
