2019 Offseason Thread

[Wamu]

Just wondering what you found appealing about Laughlin. Doesn’t seem like you liked anything about the town, just your friends. Hard to see why you are selling the place so hard. Are you suggesting we should visit your friends if we go there because there is nothing else to do?

You're delusional. I wasn't selling anything. I said I liked going down there to get outta Vegas. And I never said I didn't like anything about the town. Those are your incorrect assumptions.

There's no shortage of moves that would have helped attribute the Warriors to not being who they are now.

Shit, you can say that for pretty much any title team, but especially about those teams who win multiple titles.

What if Kareem didn't want out of Milwaukee and get traded to the Lakers?

What if the rule that the Lakers had to be compensated with a draft pick in order for Gail Goodrich to be able to sign with the New Orleans Jazz didn't exist (it no longer does)?

Does Showtime happen?

What if the Lakers didn't have the Cavs pick in 1982 from a trade of Don Ford and a first round pick for Butch Lee and a first round pick, have the Cavs finish with the worst record in the league AND win a coin toss with the Clippers for the #1 pick allowing the Lakers to draft James Worthy?

Does Showtime last as long?

What if David Robinson doesn't get hurt, allowing the Spurs to draft Timmy?

Do they get 5 titles over the next 20 years?

Laughlin and Vegas can both be fun or not so fun depending on what you're looking for.

Vegas is definitely a faster pace and, imo, is mainly about the gambling, partying, big events, etc.

It can be a bit much if you're staying for more than a weekend or so. Or just aren't into crowds and a faster pace.

Laughlin is smaller, slower paced and good for relaxing with some gambling thrown in.

It can be boring as hell if you're looking for a faster pace and/or big event.

What do you like about Laughlin that isn’t about your friends. Don’t know why it’s so tough to answer this question.

So you take all the fun things out of Vegas and stick by a river and give it a trailer trash vibe. Why would people want to go there?

Hide your wife and daughters

To be on Live PD?

It's a non guaranteed contract. Low risk, high reward kind of deal.

If it doesn't work out they cut him and the Lakers dont lose a penny.

You like it then? Or did you prefer Noah or Speights.

 

[Bart]

What's the problem? If he doesn't work out they can cut him easily.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Yeah I like it. Especially if the deal is as reported.

Would have naturally preferred Cousins to have stayed healthy but this is the best of a bad situation

Vogel did a pretty good job with Hibbert in Indiana, maybe he can do the same for Howard, I'm hoping.

I think the guy really has something to prove. I can see him getting more minutes as the season progresses. I'd like to see Dwight, AD, Green and Lebron on the floor at times. That would be a hell of a defensive unit.
