Where do the Lakers go from here...?

[Heatles84]

I still think Nick Wright is worse.

He is. I was talking about Gilbert being a joke though, because I actually believe Smith in this regards.

But yeah, Nick Wright's the biggest Lebron homer I've ever seen on god's green Earth.

 

[Shanemansj13]

So....on First Take, Stephen A. Smith is saying that sources are telling him that Dan Gilbert is hoping Lebron leaves so he can have his team back. LOL

What a fucking joke that guy is.

Gilbert is an idiot but Stephen A is a joke. Everything he says I ignore

 

[Shanemansj13]

Yup. Also, as we've all learned, Gilbert's not the type of guy that thinks about long-term consequences - letter to Lebron when he left, asking for punitive tax penalties, now presumably wants Lebron to leave.

If he is saying that it’s bc he knows he is gone. Lebron got the Cavs one champioship he needs to take his ship and shut it. I mean that was his goal when he came back, even though if it wasn’t for injuries, Dan Gilbert letting Griffin walk, the Cavs could of had 2 possibly ships. Still greatful for everything and I think Lebron comes back at the end of his career again

The Letter part 2 coming soon? "The Cavs will win a championship before the Lakers".

 

[Black Adam]

Oh, I agree. We'll ignore that he didn't want to pay David Griffin though.

STILL one of the biggest head scratchers of last season...

even WiggityWack couldn't justify that with one of his patented bullshit spins...

Somebody on Sportsnation cracked on him pretty hard last night. He was going on and on about his "Lebron tweeting Durant" rumor. The presenter cracked that SAS spent the first half of his "news" explaining who Durant was, lol.

We've got a few guys like that here at work. They have to give you the full background on everything, then will circle their whole point at least 2-3 teams for emphasis. Meanwhile, your brain has already checked out and is thinking about what you want for dinner...

who DOESN'T know someone like that...?

generally speaking i'm typically a patient guy, but when it comes to that kinda thing i'm usually like "please get to the point..."

I don't. He has no reason to come back. Because by all accounts, he absolutely loathes Dan Gilbert. And the minute Lebron leaves, you're back in rebuild. Lebron's in ring chasing mode right now.

And that's fair. I actually agree with you.

 

[Raw_Bee808]

LOL

SAW THAT.....

 

[DJ Fieri]

I have butterflies up in my stomach....part excited and part want to vomit.

LMAO dang Deej, it ain't THAT serious...

It is. Hate the last 6-7 years or so.

Been saying I like Cousins....but I've been saying a lot of stuff the last 3-4 months.

was never big on Boogie, but I know the guy can play...

let's hope if we DO get him that injury is fully healed...

Gilbert is a douche, but at whatever cost to his ego, he won a ring.
I can see where he might be ready to move on from James’ and all the attatched bullshit that comes with him since they really are trending in a downward position as far as winning again.

 

[DarthVedder]

For the Lakers, they need to get rid of that Deng contract. If I have a chance with at least PG and Lebron, I'm giving up Ingram to the Spurs in hopes that they're also willing to take on that Deng contract.

They might have to, but only if accompanied by extra picks. I don't know what happened with Deng in LA, but he's not that old (by Spurs standard) and maybe they can squeeze the last few drops of basketball out of him.

Right now isn’t the same as the end of his career. I guarantee he retires as a Cav
