This is going to be interesting.

At least he’s being honest.

Yeah, I mean…

Nice young player.

But, I wouldn’t retain him at any cost.

It could windup being a Tyler Johnson type situation.

Well, except for the folks that bet Alabama…lol

I don’t think money is going to be a problem for him, but he could sure help things along by getting out of CA at a young age if every penny really matters to him.

I mean if he is going to want too much money I’m sure he will be worth it unless he can show he can be a consistent shooter and average defender. Right now he is a pretty bad defender but he is underrated off the dribble.

 

[thunderc]

@thunderc is always killing it.

I don’t know if anyone else has noticed it…

But, he and @tlance manage to drag fools constantly, without using a single word of profanity.

It rivals @msgkings322 hilarious responses when people try their hardest to get a rise out of him and he obliterates them with humor.

All 3 have skillz…..lol

Aw shucks. It’s easy when you can sit back and straight up know you will bring the heat when needed lol

No one is going to pay him more than the Lakers I don’t think.

Amen.


Le Batard, who also left ESPN in 2021, flat-out told Stephen A. how much he despises what the two personalities did to sports talk.

“I hate what you two have done to sports television,” Le Batard said.

Stephen A. immediately countered the South Beach Sessions host’s remarks.

“You can say that all you want to; I would say, who the hell are you?!” Smith said. “To sit up there and say me and him. What about you? Where the hell were you? Living under a rock? Teaching at Miami U? You were part of it too! You ain’t innocent!”


Le Batard reiterated and added, “I’m talking about all the imitators that you have birthed,” who are “thinking without the journalism credentials.”

“Those people who don’t have a journalism background, who don’t exercise journalistic ethics and beyond,” Smith said. “How are we responsible for that? When our background is based on that? Skip Bayless was a journalist for decades! I was a journalist for decades! We come on television, and those ethics are applicable.

“When did it occur in my career that I ignored the journalistic tenets that came with the job?” he said.

Le Batard pushed back against Stephen A.‘s “ignored” comment and reiterated what he meant.

“It’s not ignoring them; it’s that they shrink in the face of the need for the argument as entertainment,” he said. “It’s not that it’s ignored; it’s that the journalism becomes less important. It’s the argument. It’s the sparks; it’s the debate that needs to be carried.”

Max him and give him one the Buss' kids share of the franchise

Sounds like the Lakers are looking to give him between 12-15 mil per, which is fair.

Anyone offering more is off their rocker.

maybe.

cap is going up and shooters are at a premium. I mean Duncan Robinson carried 2 good years into a ridiculous contract. It just takes 1 team to fuck it up.

“I want to let you all know about how absolutely ridiculous most of you people are at life,” Green said. “The fact that a rumor about Andrew Wiggins — I don’t know if it’s true. I’m not here to confirm whether it’s true or not. I really don’t care, like it ain’t got nothing to do with me. You hear stuff like that and you care for like him and her, like and their children. So I care from that perspective. But whether what y’all said is true or not really has no bearing on my life nor does it have any bearing on your life.”

He’s worth more to the Lakers than another team….imo

Can you think of a roster that’s a Austin Reaves away from contending?

I like the kid more than most.

But, not for 18-20 mill.

No, Sir.

NBA equivalent of a concession speech.

About 28 GMs saw him talking about money and in their minds said ok good luck to you.
