- Comment on [Charania] BREAKING: Marcus Smart has agreed to a contract buyout with the Washington Wizards and intends to sign a two-year, $11 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers after clearing waivers 1 week ago:
That’s what people used to say about Championship winning Lakers legend Rajon Rondo before he came to LA lol.
- Comment on Presenting the Oklahoma City New Arena 1 week ago:
The team was going to move to OKC no matter what. The move had nothing to do with getting a new arena or not.
My opinion is that money would be better spent going to fund schools considering Oklahoma is ranked 49th out of all 50 states. But this looks cool to I guess lol.

- Comment on What are your summer league overreactions/thoughts? 2 weeks ago:
I always felt the criticisms of Bronny was overblown. Kid almost died like a year ago, there’s got to be some rehab after that, mentally and/or physically.
- Comment on Anthony bought out, looks to join Bucks 2 weeks ago:
Bucks are really making a push to keep Gianny it seems. Good for them, not just giving up.
- Comment on Sources: Powell to Heat, Collins to Clips in trade 3 weeks ago:
Great move for Miami.
Solid move for the Clippers.
🫡 Good luck in next year’s draft lottery Utah.
- Comment on Ayton to sign 2-year deal with Lakers 3 weeks ago:
The defense held up fine last season with essentially the same team. The problem was more about depth, you can’t just play 5-6 guys in the playoffs and expect the team to hold up.

Damn, Nuggies are crushing it this off-season.

Crazy that OKC traded Paul George for SGA and five first round picks.
- Comment on [Game Threads] 17 May 2025 Playoffs RD 2 2 months ago:
Just to remind everyone. The Thunder would be the youngest team in NBA history to win a championship. I feel like this doesn’t get mentioned enough, there a reason for that.
- Comment on New York goes insane 2 months ago:
It’s amazing how it took the Knicks a quarter of a century to achieve other teams expectations. I remember watching a “documentary” someone made about the Melo/knicks-tape team and thinking they’re celebrating what I as a Lakers fan consider a disappointing season lol.
- Comment on Giannis open to exploring best fits outside Bucks 2 months ago:
That’s easier said than done.
- He’d be waisting a year of his career, he’s not getting any better either
- Most good teams don’t have cap space
- He could also pull a Kawhi and do that anyways

Flagg+ for Giannis?

The sad part is that he wishes he was Kobe so bad lol

Isn’t that just being mentally soft 🤷🏻 lol
- Comment on [Game Threads] 07 May 2025 Playoffs RD 2 2 months ago:
I think there’s a difference between being good and being ready to win a championship. OKC would literally be the youngest team to ever win a championship.
- Comment on [Game Threads] 07 May 2025 Playoffs RD 2 2 months ago:
Lol. I hate it when people say “so and so only win a championship because XYZ” but… The Celtics overcame nothing to win a championship last season, and as soon as someone pushes back on them this season they fold like they did all those seasons before they won the chip.
- Comment on [Game Threads] 07 May 2025 Playoffs RD 2 2 months ago:
Bro, are the Celtics just soft?
- Comment on Warriors’ Steph Curry expected to miss multiple games with hamstring strain: Source 2 months ago:
This “should” clinch a trip to the conference finals but, the wolves haven’t played with much urgency during these playoffs at all so far. Where the Warriors have proven winners on there team that tend to play big when they’re needed 🤔
- Comment on [Game Threads] 06 May 2025 Playoffs RD 2 2 months ago:
31 in the first half is some trash basketball. They had the same problem almost all series vs the Lakers.
- Comment on [Game Threads] 06 May 2025 Playoffs RD 2 2 months ago:
Fucking wild
- Comment on Lakers out of playoff: who's laughing more, Mark Williams or AD? 2 months ago:
I don’t think AD was even mad about being traded, he seemed pretty good with it and finally got what he wanted(to play the 4).
Williams on the other hand must have loved watching this lol. Not only did Ruby crush the Lakers in game 5 but, Luka over threw at least three lobs in game 4 that could of won them the game. But…Jaxson Hayes would of also caught those lobs and might of helped in game 5. Also judging from this series, even with Williams, this isn’t a championship team.

- Comment on Carlisle to his team last night: "fuckin hit somebody" 2 months ago:
Is it just me or is this a little cringe. This plus that trash Haliburtons dad pulled on Giannis after the game is really making the Pacers an unlikable team.
- Comment on Windy: [Lakers] don't care about [Bron's] timeline. They care about Luka's Timeline 2 months ago:
Plot twist… Nico doesn’t know Bronnys legal name is also LeBron, Mavs fans burn down the arena LMAO
- Comment on Windy: [Lakers] don't care about [Bron's] timeline. They care about Luka's Timeline 2 months ago:
The Lakers and Mavericks have been known to make trades in the past lol.
Really though IDK, I’m just thinking out loud. I haven’t looked at free agents/capspace/trade-machine numbers and all that.
- Comment on Windy: [Lakers] don't care about [Bron's] timeline. They care about Luka's Timeline 2 months ago:
IDK off the top of my head but, every lob threat in the league lol. Ironically maybe Daniel Gafford since he’s basically 3rd string center now that AD is there. Giannis even considering the Bucks are basically dead after the Dame injury 🤷🏻.
I think every center would love to play with Luka.
- Comment on Windy: [Lakers] don't care about [Bron's] timeline. They care about Luka's Timeline 2 months ago:
That’s big news coming from LeBrons best friend lol
I think LeBron knows this and it doesn’t seem like LeBron cares. I honestly think it’s kind of what he’s wanted or at least what he’s said he’s wanted for years now. LeBron wanted AD be the guy in LA but he’s just not that guy. LeBron wanted Kawhi to be the guy but, he went to the clippers.
Luka is that guy and LeBron seems like he’s relaxed since the trade.
As far as the Williams trade, I think LA got word that “Center X” wants to sign/trade to LA in the off-season and just came up with an excuse to back out of the trade.

Damn you’re right, it literally just happened LMAO. But generally they lean towards a no call.
