    Don't sleep on Cousins, he's in the best shape of his life right now.

    I will take championship contention for the foreseeable future over a rebuild.

    2019 Offseason Thread

    I think 6th man would be a perfect role for Kuz with Cousins on the team. AD can help to cover him on the defensive end as opposed to when he was on the Warriors. Disappointed the Lakers didn't get Kawhi but this type of parity in the league is something to be excited about.

    LeBron James and Los Angeles Lakers Have Been Eliminated from Playoff Contention

    I see what's going on here, we're arguing semantics over what I meant by "always the plan". That's not my thing, I meant from the point of LeBron signing. I didn't say "the plan was always to sign LeBron one year and then another star the next".

    LeBron James and Los Angeles Lakers Have Been Eliminated from Playoff Contention

    I don't think anyone besides OKC had a realistic shot at PG, but sure, I suppose you're right as I can't really think of any other player off the top of my head who would fit the description Magic and company were looking for, but there may have been. As far as players being less inclined to...

    LeBron James and Los Angeles Lakers Have Been Eliminated from Playoff Contention

    It would have been nice for the Lakers to make the playoffs, especially since most of us Lakers fans are pretty impatient, but the plan was always to sign someone in the offseason and make a run next season. I'll start panicking if they strike out this offseason.

    LBJ is a 16 year vet, I'm pretty sure Kemba and Butler would be in line for a 30% max, not what LBJ makes.

    I just went by how it was listed, didn't actually look at their birthdays. My fault.

    Kyrie was better across the board. I was talking about Lonzo when I said shooting from distance. Kyrie was 19 his rookie year, Sexton is 20. Kyrie became an all-star in his 2nd season, when he was 20.

    Staying healthy isn't exactly something you can control. I counted free throws as shooting from distance, since their FG% near the rim is pretty similar, I didn't want to say shooting as a whole. Getting to the basket is something, he's faster than Lonzo but as I said, they are pretty similar in...

    They have really similar styles of play. Kyrie was better across the board in his rookie year and was an all-star at Sexton's age. Evaluating players requires more than looking at box scores imo. As far as Lonzo goes, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find something besides shooting from distance...

    I'd compare Sexton to Clarkson before I compare him to Kyrie.

    It does seem rather unlikely for a fan to say racist things to an African-American then turn around and root for the African-Americans on his favorite team.

    I'm guessing it wasn't this incident alone that made Westbrook snap, he's been talking about Utah for a while now and finally got fed up. You'd be mad too if you got nothing in return for LeBron.

    2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

    I'm guessing some of that is due to the length and athleticism of the Suns. They're capable of more than their record indicates, I'm praying they don't get Zion with that team.

    Lateral quickness is probably something he needs to work on. Looks like I got a ways to go before I start scouting (lol).

    He's shown a post move or two, he can shoot, he can put the ball on the floor better than the majority of bigs, he has good court vision for a big, he can run the floor, he's strong enough to hang in the paint. There's a lot to like, just needs more experience.

    It seems like it would be the logical thing to do, but I don't think Magic and Pelinka would do it. On BI: when it rains, it pours.

    His 2 season highs came against the Lakers this season. So that was my experience. 23 and 17 points. Then again, the Lakers' defense stinks.

    No one does. Even if you execute your gameplan perfectly and manage to limit their starting 5 to reasonable numbers, they still got that guy named Iguodala who can drop 20 on you when necessary.

    I did read something saying that if you live within 20 miles of a highway in Cali then you are likely to have 10 years taken off of your life expectancy. Don't remember the exact numbers but it was something like that. Pretty mind boggling.

    At least your games are close, lol. We got a fringe NBA player in Caruso outperforming a lot of the team. On the bright side, my boy Wagner is getting minutes. Not sure why LA fans aren't as hyped about him as they were about Zubac.

    Anthony Davis has been swallowed by the corp. machine

    He was going to be offered the super max this offseason. The owners made it so that it can be offered 1 year before free agency, in order to keep stars from leaving. In the end he just pushed up an announcement he would have made at the end of the season anyway.
