    [NBA] Comments that don't merit their own thread (TDOS)

    Interesting you're talkin about an all-time worst trade involving the Celtics while naming a guy named Carroll. It was in 1980 that the Smelts had the 1st overall pick and sent it to GS for #4 and Parish. They took McHale at 4 and GS chose Joe Barry Carroll at 1. Joe Barely Cares. That was...

    Believe it or not, Dood, I was pretty much in agreement with that from about 2012 to 2017. I was looking at some of the rosters during that period earlier today and I was shivering at the memories. Steve Nash...uch. He did as much to keep the Lakers down as he did in his MVP seasons with PHX...

    Thanks, same to you. You're 7/28 too, right? I don't know if I rated a thread this year, but I understand if not. I've been sparse in recent years. Hopefully in the coming years this head-to-head becomes a rivalry again instead of a depressing comedy of errors.

    laker love-fest

    He's gonna be a good one, NoBonus. I get that you wanna wait and I would never crow about a SL title, although it was nice to see the kids hustle and play well for a bunch of games, but he'll make his name soon enough. That kind of passing and solid decisionmaking both in halfcourt and breaks...

    Welcome Vince Carter

    Did you guys see this vid? To think Vince has a vid like this against every franchise is amusing. That guy wasn't just a unicorn athletically, he was winged Pegasus.

    Summer League Impressions (other than Kings)

    The site seemed to be not allowing me to post a followup criticizing him, I swear. It was the site's fault. Odd... Aaaaaall right. His shooting has been ruff, but even Steph somehow managed to shoot worse in his first SL, so there you go. Reason I don't bother talking about his shooting is...

    KINGS! Summer League-Vegas Gm 4 - 7/12/17 (round 1 vs Bucks)

    Magic called him Fulks. Perhaps after the league's first superstar, Smokin Joe Fulks.

    Haha. I take it you're not gonna purchase the 200 dollar slippers.

    Summer League Impressions (other than Kings)

    Good post there. We need fewer "hot takes". I think his shot and first step are at least not as dire as NBA fans at large as well as highly paid "sports entertainment analysts" on BSPN are selling. The hot take crowd. He's not an elite athlete, but he doesn't look like a zombie either...

    Lonzo, 36 pts, 8 rebs, 11 assists, 5 steals, 2 blocks, 12/22 fg. Woot!

    KINGS! Summer League-Vegas Gm 3 - 7/10/17

    That sucks tho. Mag is holdin him out for whatever reason. They canned Ingram for the rest of the games for calf cramps in Gm 1. Kuzma out too. The things I learn on KingsFans.com. I didn't know this yet because it's too effin hot in my computer office earlier than 6pm. This has to be the...

    KINGS! Summer League-Vegas Gm 3 - 7/10/17

    Oh, snap, first I've heard that Lonzo's not playin. Drats. He's good afaic, peeps. I loved what I saw vs Boston. Kid put up a triple double. Looks like a less haywire version of young White Choc to me more than Kidd. I dunno bout Fox yet, but I wouldn't take Tatum over Ball no matter how...

    Here's my latest mock

    Sh,t! I guess my post from last night didn't make it past the server errors. That's either good or bad to you guys (I'm your friendly neighborhood Devilakers fan). We snagged 2 again. Ugh. That's a 7 and three 2s and two of them (Randle/Russell) are feckless and inconsistent. NoDLo is...

    [NBA] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (FEB)

    Lakers' Rookie Ivica Zubac scored 17pts the other night: == Nice kid. Has a smoking hot GF and his minutes and role are increasing. Life is GOOD. I love America!

    Evaluating the Cousins Trade.

    It's hard to get equal value for a guy the caliber of Cousins. Many such trades have resulted in the recipient getting pennies on the dollar. Kareem to Lakers, Wilt to Lakers, Shaq to Miami, Barkley to Phoenix, Gasol to Lakers, Parish and 4th to Celtics, Webber to Bullets. Chris Paul to...

    I would give you a hug for that, VF. Glenn, for liking her sentiment, you can have one too if you want. A bro hug. One arm. ;)

    [NBA] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (OCT/NOV)

    My boy Earvin averaged 18.6, 9.6 rebs and 9.5 assists over 78 games in 1981/82. That's the closest anyone has gotten to a legit 3/2 since Oscar. In 18 playoff games in 1980 as a rookie, he averaged 18.3, 10.5 rebs, 9.4 assists. Overall, he averaged a 3/2 in his first 48 playoff games total...

    [Game] Kings v. Lakers - 11/10/16 - 7:30 PT/10:30 ET

    (LA fan). Season's only 9 games long, so I'm not going to predict LA's playoff chances until about mid December at absolute earliest, but in preseason they looked more like a 25 win team. Trust me, it's a mini-miracle that they've played about 8 truly competitive 45 min games thus far with...
