it’s Laker fan delusion season!
He hasn't even surpassed either of the "Reeves" yet, but man, Khalid is in his sights!

Brooklyn Nets meetings must have been a blast with these two running the show
It's wild that there's a nice chunk of folks that love to carry water for those two. They aren't loyal to any team or fanbase so what gives?
Can confirm these are all real logos 😭 (s/o the @Titans for the inspo) pic.twitter.com/Z4RHwPhKVz

My dude in the orange shirt absolutely knew what those logos were but was not going to let his chance go to waste
I mean, you're probably right but I wouldn't bet my rent check on it. Just think about the people you've encountered on this website over the years who have expressed a complete lack of knowledge/interest in anything having to do with the NBA not directly related to the Kings? Hell, @Warhawk is halfway to being that guy himself. 
The Pistons actually tripped me up - I don't recall seeing that logo before so I'm guessing it's new for this season? They basically have the same colors as the 76ers, and it's just a "P" and I was like...uhhhhhh...
You are correct my good man. I rarely watch any games the Kings aren't in.I mean, you're probably right but I wouldn't bet my rent check on it.

I maybe watch parts of 15-20 other games throughout the year that aren't Kings games. That's a lot of freaking basketball because I see ~ 80/82 kings games a year.
So I get it. There is just not enough time in the day.

JaVale McGee is owed $11,741,621 on the two years left of his contract (his 24-25 player option will be exercised before he’s waived-and-stretched). Mavs will stretch that amount over five years at $2,348,324 per season.

Stretch = two times the years left on the deal + one year. https://t.co/9BbmapJt2a
Mavs really said “we only have room for one albatross big man contract and Richaun is on the roster now”
So Reaves is gonna pass 3 All-NBA players and the DPOY? mhmm

The real debate is gonna be who’s the alpha on that Lakers team: AusGOAT Reaves or LeBum James.

James Harden walked so Reaves could soar
I'll never forget that stretch where he shot MORE Free throws than Domas and Fox combined over like a 10 game stretch. Ridiculous

Austin Reaves all-star starter is absolutely coming this season from the fan vote. Can't wait.
What sucks is I like Reaves a ton as a player. Think he's super valuable towards winning. But these stupid Laker fans just make it impossible to enjoy him and his game.

The wild thing is that NBA media dudes keep letting these Lakers fans trick them in following their narrative too. We’ve seen it with Lonzo, Caruso, and THT where solid role players get pushed into the “future star” class based entire on dudes with handles like Kobe4Ever69 stabbing them on social media.
Well, Lonzo at least had a legit reason for the hype. He had been pegged as a future star for forever, had dominated HS basketball, was one of the top (if not the #1?) recruits in the country, and had a great season at UCLA. He shot .412 from three on volume and TS%ed .673 on top of putting up 14.6/6.0/7.6 as a 6'6" PG. Obviously there were some concerns about his defense, but outside of his funky stroke (that worked), one game where Fox outclassed him in the Tournament, and one Fox spin move that nearly faked him out of his shoes (I think that was in the regular season UCLA/Kentucky game?) it's not like there were huge warts there.
Obviously things haven't gone as well as everybody hoped in the NBA, at least some of that due to continual injury, but I don't think he was in any way an unlikely candidate who was anointed the next star by a naive LA fanbase. Everything was lined up for him to be that star before he ever set foot on an NBA court, no matter what team had drafted him.

Lol. He shouldn’t have even been playing. So dumb.
Obvious trolling aside-- Fox being who he is, he will see this and he will remember this the next time he sees Austin Reaves backpedaling in front of him like a deer in the headlights. So bring it on I say! Keep those hot takes coming Lakers Nation!

In that case, Kyrie might not even make it to December.

2. The Bucks GM would have to actually be mentally incapacitated to trade Giannis for AD, who is constantly on the verge of shattering into a sea of glass.
