Gotta try to hold on to that Chinese fan base post Kobe.

It is interesting that they held this FA minicamp. If they are signing Yi, they are at 15 players. More writing on the wall that Young is gone?

I don't think this official just yet. I've also seen he's signing for a vet minimum deal. I saw somewhere that the vet minimum is close to around 8mil Chinese Yuan. Regardless, did not see this coming.

Summer Forecast: How the West will play out in 2016-17 I think the Lakers can improve to 30 wins. That is a big jump but doable. I wouldn't be surprised though that they end up in position to hold on to that first round pick (top-3 protected) again!

I saw U2 at the Forum last summer. No issues. I think once the new football stadium and surrounding complex are built, it won't be such a bad place. Of course a block or two away and :bolt:

Can't see Ballmer moving the team to Seattle given the $2bil he paid for the team. Its value is tied in with the large market that is Los Angeles. It makes sense though to build a new arena and practice facility that he would own rather than continue leasing them. I imagine the technology in a...

This doesn't seem like a big deal to me. It would be more of a snub if he was being inducted into the HOF as NY Knick. Well, he's certainly no hall of famer. This is just an unnecessary step of his retirement.

Go ahead and add style of play to a broken down body. Those two factors played a bigger role than the contract.

If only.... It is interesting that they still haven't officially signed Black, Ingram, and I believe Huertas yet. The delay in signing them could mean Mitch is working the phones. Ingram is the last of the young players that I would trade though.

Would they have though? The big free agents didn't sign with the Lakers because Kobe was broken down not because of the amount of his contract.

I'm fine with the contract for Dirk. I don't begrudge athletes for getting paid what they do. I just felt like you were implying Dirk deserved his whereas Kobe did not. Seems a bit hypocritical if that's the case.

Yeah, I'll watch it again when I get home from work and can crank the volume up. That looked good without the sound though!

They're not near the level of Cleveland let alone Golden State. :dhd:

Kobe took less money in his last deal than he was getting paid before. Technically he did take a paycut, but since it was Kobe it's all negative. For Dirk it's just back pay. Nothing but roses. Shit, Kobe has made the Lakers organization way more money than Dirk has and ever will for Dallas.

Hi Shiva

82 games is plenty of time to figure things out.

That isn't the Chiefs new logo? :lol:

They might already have their star but will obviously need time to develop. The question is do they want to be patient and let it grow?

:lol: That is how they spell it in England.

Yup, nice soft hands. He caught pretty everything thrown his way in summer league including a nice catch and finish on a transition alley-oop.

He showed nice mid-range touch as well. Supposedly he can stretch that out to the 3-point line. He could be a well-rounded big.

They certainly aren't tanking. They weren't trying to tank the previous couple of years either but did.

Yeah, they are both making the team. They signed Zubac to a 3-year deal. He'll probably spend some time on the Defenders, but he'll certainly make the 15-man roster. The kid showed some potential in summer league.

Black's contract is non-guaranteed for next season. If they cut Black and Anthony Brown next summer and stretch Young's contract, they will have $30mil+ cap space which will be enough to sign a 10+ year max player. Next year's draft pick is once again top-3 protected. They could have gone the...

Some good news
