    If You Had The Power...

    to go back and remove injury or circumstance from 1 players career (any sport) to see what they could have done with a full career...who are "saving"? Bo Jackson who was all star caliber in 2 professional sports? Arvydas Sabonis who was arguably the greatest international player ever and who...

    The 7 Wonders of Basketball

    Got this idea from a Cowherd segment. Who are your 7 wonders of basketball. Guideline...they have to have different skillsets. So, for example, if you have MJ, you wouldn't have Kobe because he's MJ Lite. Kareem - Brought true athleticism to the 5 spot and had the greatest shot in basketball...

    Are the Lakers Getting "Supernatural Help"

    from Kobe? Apparently, after his game winning shot last night, AD yelled "Kobe". In the interview after the game, he mentioned that the Lakers can't be losing when wearing their Mamba uniforms (they wore them in game 2 in each series so far and are 3-0 in them. Frank Vogel even mentioned the...

    Is Lebron a Dynasty Unto Himself?

    Like I said on the main thread, we need something to argue about besides the virus. So, we can argue about our favorite subject to argue about...Lebron. I was watching Dan Patrick and they were talking about dynasties. They brought up the the Celtics, UCLA basketball, recent Alabama football...

    Load Management

    So, load management is a thing...lol What are folks thoughts on it? Like it? Hate it? Don't care? Only like it when it works? I kind of see both sides of it. I'm old school, so I'm used to and tend to lean towards, if you can walk, you play. I don't think I'll ever get used to or like load...

    2019 Los Angeles Lakers Off-Season Thread

    Not sure why I didn't do this earlier. The 2018-19 season is behind us (Thank God) and now we have what could arguably be the most important off-season in many, many years. The Lakers need a President of Basketball Operations and a Coach. Also, depending on ones point of view...a new GM. All...

    Interesting Cap Idea

    Was watching Dan Patrick this morning and he presented an interesting salary cap idea. He was talking about the NFL, but it is something that other professional sports could use. The idea was that teams would be allowed to designate 1 player that they can pay any amount they want that doesn't...

    Lakers 2018 Off-Season Thread

    Well, another season over and what should be a very interesting off-season with a lot of possibilities. The Lakers are set to have enough cap space to land 2 max FA's and they have the "Julius Randle problem" to deal with. We all know, whether some like it or not, they will be targeting Lebron...

    2017 Lakers Off Season Thread

    Well, the seasons over. 26-56 and possibility of hanging on to the top 3 pick. Should be another interesting off season. One thing I think we can all agree on is that they go into this off season in far better shape than any previous off season since Dr. Buss passed. We have Jeanie...

    What's Next For The Lakers?

    So the news of the breakup between Jeanie and Phil effectively puts to bed the theory that Jim Buss would be removed from his position as head of basketball operations and replaced by Phil after the season. So, that begs the question...What next? Under the terms that Dr. Buss set up, Jeanie is...

    LUUUKE

    The Lakers have hired Luke Walton to be the next head coach. I really like this hire. Obviously, we don't know if he'll work out, but there's a lot to like, imo, beginning with the fact that he's not another retread. I also like that the hire is out of the way and the Lakers can go into the...
