That sucks! I grew up a hardcore Knicks fan in the 90s, lost interest for most of the 2000s with how they have run that franchise into the ground. KP had me watching games again. Huge blow.

 

he looked like he had mono out there for most games recently, a 7 game road stretch drains any joy out of playing the game.

 

mend him and rest him for next season, let The Beez start and take over the ruckus!

Woj bomb!

 

 

Danny Ainge lights up a cigar, Red Auerbach style...

 

When I first saw this I thought it was a terrible trade.  However it does clear a ton of cap for the Lakers.  Maybe they will be able to go the 2 max guys route this off season now.  I actually believe this might happen now after doubting it all year.

 

I will call that IT goes back to Boston next year for peanuts.  This has to have been a very humbling year for him.  Wonder if he recaptures the magic or continues to struggle.

Wow they are blowing up that team!!!  LeBron has to be leaving this offseason right?

Well the Lakers can certainly go after him now. But i think they are blowing it up for Lebron. They got much younger and more athletic today which they sorely needed around Lebron.  

 

Dwyane Wade just traded back to Miami too!

Raptors sit in the catbird seat today, but their first real playoff opponent will elbow DeRozan in the mouth and he'll slip and slide into oblivion, like Vince Carter (after Oak wasn't there to protect him)

Yeah Hood is a great piece.  I don't know if this will work as they have created almost an entirely new team around LeBron and Love and I guess JR lol.  I am interested to see how quickly they can gel together.  I don't know that these moves keep LeBron but they at least did something with that cancerous locker room.

 

Starting 5?  George Hill, JR Smith, LeBron, Love, Tristan

 

Small Ball George Hill, Clarkson, Hood, LeBron, Love

 

Big Lineup Clarkson, Hood, LeBron, Love, Tristan

 

I guess I like these moves better than I thought.  Might be enough to still win the East but still no shot at GSW imo.

The West is so much better than the East. Rockets vs GS will be great, can’t sleep on OKC either.

Isaiah still waiting on that Brinks Truck.

He may not start in LA because of Lonzo and his agent is pissed. He said if he’s not going to start then they can just buy him out. Poor guy’s value has plummeted between his injury and everything that went down in Cleveland.

It’s really stupid after fouling Korver on a 3 attempt to get a T whining about the foul as well

 

4 in the bank

 

goid work by he Cavs winning with 7 tonight

 

special thanks to the Atlanta broadcast for reducing the game on my screen to 1/3 while people were taking up the the first 83 seconds of second quarter action

 

why does the NBA think I want the beginning of a quarter ruined for a pointless interview hogging half the screen

The new look Cavs having a great 1st half in Boston. 

 

Apart from Irving the C's are nothing worth worrying about.

 

 

 

which is good enough for 3rd in the East, 12th in the West...

Keep losing LA so we get that pick. How do you like the Ball show? I almost feel bad for Lakers fans but the result was so obvious.

 

but he dominated the Summer League games...

Im not sure what the problem is.....

 

Its LA.....Ball is a fine player and his dad is over the top but we are used to that down here.

 

The team is actually starting to become competitive again.

Rondo and Isaiah got into it tonight??? Wow. Sorry, i loved you so much IT, but my heart resides with rondo, Forever.

 

I hate to admit as a Lakers fan but I loved Rondo, KG, and Ray Allen as players even when they were on the Celtics.  Paul Pierce can go poop himself (again).  Rondo was surly sure but he was mr do everything.  He always had triple doubles where the hardest part for him was the points, he is what Lonzo Ball should aspire to be.  KG I loved back to his Minnesota days (better than Duncan imo just never got the support Duncan did) and Ray Allen as I love watching lights out shooters play.

 

It is really weird with IT on the team now.  His heart is still in Boston and he will be back on a team friendly deal imo so I'm having a hard time getting excited about him.

IT and the lakers are both counting the days when he is gone.......he is not part of our future his expiring salary is.

 

The lakers have biult a nice young core.....and frankly I would like to see more Josh Hart then this little entitled midget that cant play defense.  Hart is a pit bull out there

 Can't argue any of this. 

 

Paul George for sure but who is the second max? I thought it would be boogie but then he got hurt.  I see LeBron as a possibility but wouldn't be surprised to see him stay in Cleveland either.  Lakers have an exciting young core with randle and ingram improving greatly but they need that star power still.

Definately Paul George.  i am liking the idea of resigning Julius Randal more and more

 

If they keep drafting like this maybe one max guy next year and one the year after?

 

We are getting very close to the point where the star power guys are coming in as the final piece to the puzzle....this last draft was a huge success with Ball, Kuzma, and Hart

 

Bringing IT in actually hurt us in the short term cuz it killed our defensive chemistry that Nance provided (Clarkson is a scorer that plays no D so in essence its a swap of players in Clarkson/IT)

I have a feeling Klay Thompson ends up with the Lakers
