    Kings will no longer have cheerleaders

    PC police in full effect. The thing is, it takes so much skills and perseverance to make these dance teams that they are actually very respected and are considered to be part of the show/game. It's mind boggling that management believes cutting the team would help the cause for women when it's...

    The All-Purpose LOL Lakers thread

    "And so the perception existed among the Lakers' coaching staff that Rich Paul sought to oust Walton. And some players also believed, according to coaching staff members and those players' agents, that Klutch Sports was working to trade them away for a superstar. Given those perceptions, one...

    The All-Purpose LOL Lakers thread

    You are right on about the chemistry thing. The perception that everyone wants to play with Lebron is false. There is a reason why the Lakers faltered so badly after the all star break. No one wanted to play their hearts out for a guy that was casually pushing to trade half of his...

    The All-Purpose LOL Lakers thread

    Not making fun of the Lakers, just speaking truth and I think you are missing the point. Of course Lebron is still a good player, but there aren't many teams that would really give up valuable assets that the Lakers would actually want in return. In a trade, the Lakers would either want a...

    The All-Purpose LOL Lakers thread

    The only way the Lakers turns this thing around quickly is if they get rid of LeBron. Word is Jeanie really wanted to trade him and release the Lakers from the hold of Bron/Rich Paul. I know the public stance now is "we're not trading LeBron". But I'm inclined to think that it's because...

    Tyreke Evans Watch 2K18

    Sad to see for Tyreke. He'll lose 2 years of his prime and about $20-$30 million. The more serious issue for him is the fact that he's gotten himself into drugs. Any of those possibilities listed, (Meth, Cocaine, LSD, Opiates) are not easy to quit and get himself out of. He needs to keep...

    Allegations against Luke Walton (split from new coach thread)

    Magic supposedly stepped down abruptly because he was CC'ed emails between Rob Pelinka and Jeanie Buss discussing his poor performance. LA media had previously said that Magic never shows up for work and wasn't willing to put in the effort required to do a good job in this business...

    [NBA] Western Conference Semifinals

    Yup, and that's the issue with the Rockets or any other team against the Warriors. Even a highly capable team like the Rockets have to play almost perfect in order to beat them in the playoffs. The Warriors have 3 guys that can drop 40 and take over on any given day. The Rockets have only 1...

    Allegations against Luke Walton (split from new coach thread)

    Yes, a great article about the state of the case against Walton. Looks like the investigations are going to drag on for a while as there is so much to look at and so many people to interview possibly. I'm still curious as to when the lawsuit was actually filed and did Tennant's attorneys...

    Allegations against Luke Walton (split from new coach thread)

    The reality for cases like this is that there is rarely any evidence other than the words of the victim and those that she may have told, which is not really "Evidence". No one really goes meet someone with the cameras rolling thinking the might be assaulted and Walton's lawyer is riding on...

    [NBA] Western Conference Playoffs, Round 1

    PG13 played well. The problem for the Thunder is they are poor shooters as a team and their team play sucks.

    Allegations against Luke Walton (split from new coach thread)

    Where did they say Kelli is/was good friends with the wife? What I remember reading was they both played volleyball and she knew Luke's wife and Luke from the volleyball circle for 10 years. Probably because they both played for PAC10 schools at the time. Kelli played for USC and Luke's wife...

    Allegations against Luke Walton (split from new coach thread)

    From the article that I read, it stated that her former fiancee got into that motorcycle accident just after they went out for a few times. If that's the case, that means they got engage later on after his hospital stay and most likely during his long recovery. I know it's easy to say the...

    Allegations against Luke Walton (split from new coach thread)

    I don't think there is a definite right or wrong in this. It's just a difference of opinion and it depends on a lot of things, as you pointed out yourself.

    Haha, I think they said it was held at the attorney's office.
