They win a lot more than the Lakers do.

Meh...

I like Bass. I think he's a solid back up for DJ. That was a good move by the Clips.

Yeah, I love him off the bench.

Speights....I'm not sure about.

But, we still don't have a starting sf.

Well, he does not have to relocate his family, and he gets to play for a winning team. These deals are often about a lot more than just money and PT. there are tons of external factors that inpact a players' decision. My bet is that he is happy to be with the Clips.

Ha! We think alike.

My post from a few days ago.

I think you are exactly right.

Relationship and a unrealistic chance of winning it all.

So, his wife was like, " screw that, I'm not moving again on a vet minimum 1 year deal "

Oh GOOD GAWD!!!!!!!!!

Whats been up, My Friend?

You watch any Summer League?

I'm ready for the Olympics to start.

Track and field, swimming, Gymnastics, Boxing, Basketball....all of it.

I can tell you- since both of them have played for my two fav teams- that Bass is much better on defense and will hustle harder than Speights. But, Speights has a better offensive arsenal than Bass. If you play them together they could be a good mix.

Hey now Mecca!

There's so much going on in my joint right now...my head has been spinning! My youngest step daughter is 15 and had a baby- then moved back with us because her mom is dying of breast cancer. This was TOTALLY unexpected- but we're coping.

I've watched some summer league and have been impressed. Looks like the Lakers' Ingram was a good choice, as well as McCaw for the Warriors. I read something where coach Kerr said if he keeps playing like that he'll get in the rotation. I am excited and can't wait for the new season.

I love the summer games- especially like swimming. How they dive and enter the water almost without a splash is amazing. Love to see the competition.

I knew something was going on because of your absence.

That's a lot.

I hope it gets easier, My Friend.

I'm sure nobody is happy about a 15 year old parent to be.

But, with everything she is going thru with her Mom, all you can do is be there.

Yeah, .......But, Speights is getting round.

Plus, I wonder what his motivation was to join the Clippers?

More so than most Teams, the Warriors DESPISE us.

But, he came for the minimum?

Ingram and Mccaw are gonna be rotation players next Season.

Both need to gain some weight.

But, both have already shown mismatch potential.

Mccaw is gonna be able to guard 1-3.

Thank you for the kind words my friend!

It isn't the most ideal situation- especially when her Dan & I tried to do all we could to make sure she didn't end up like this. But, given the circumstances with her mom the feelings of disappointment and frustration have to be moved to the back burner. The good thing is she'll have us both throughout this process!

Now that you mention it, I think he in particular had issues with some of the guys from your team. I think he has feelings of disloyalty coming from GS. KD joining GS really threw a different dose of reality in the face of some of the guys...him & Bogut in particular.

LOL @ he's getting round.

What a luxury for both teams. I'm glad the Lakers were able to capitalize this summer. It's been hard to watch them the last couple of seasons.

Excellent way to view the situation.

Now she will have a positive role model in YOU.

Ps. Little Mama will have someone to grow up with.

I have a sister that is 20 years younger than me.

She's a odd duck because she spent 85% of her time with adults.

Social interaction is a necessity.

That's what I'm saying!

It's ......weird.

I mean, come on....

It's not like he went to a better situation...lol

The Oklahoma City Thunder have signed guard Alex Abrines to a three-year deal worth $18 million.

I wonder when the Lakers become relevant again.
