The W's vs the Kings tonight on ESPN?






Whomever scheduled that for ESPN needs to be fired.

They had no other choice if the first game is at 8 PM. There were only 2 options. It was either that or Jazz/Suns.

What they should have done is start the first game at 7 PM and so they could have went with Pelicans/Thunder at 930 but the late options were not good for even a 930 2nd game of a DH.

It was basically Knicks/Bucks, Pelicans/Thunder, Warriors/Kings, & Jazz/Suns.

Remember when we were talking about Free Agents that the LAkers should target outside the max guys and I mentioned this?

Orlando does not want to max him, they proved that last Summer.

Yes, he's restricted and the Magic will probably match just so they can trade him later.

But, I would try and he would be perfect if you stay young.

Upside and star power and would fit great with Ingram and Lonzo.

Would you do Clarkson and * assumes crash position* Kuzma?

Clarkson, Randle if you could trade for him?

Shit, ask for Vuvecic too.

Bet Lopez and his expiring deal would be welcome.

The new regime of Jeff Weltman and John Hammond has left no stone unturned with the deadline approaching, including quietly gauging the trade market on Aaron Gordon,league sources told The Athletic.

Aaron Gordon's interesting, but double K's is going nowhere...

 

[Bolts]

He isn't as popular as the guys competing. There's your problem. All-Star weekend is basically a popularity contest unless you're a big time dunker.

Unfortunately you're right, it doesn't matter if you deserve to be there or not.

The Kings have won 3 of their last 4 and are undefeated against the Warriors this season, they really should be favored going into this game.

DJ should put all his money on the Kings

Yeah, I think it would be that or, as I said, if they thought there was a good chance one or both would leave.

Both seem pretty healthy and the players all seem to genuinely like each other and like playing together, so it seems unlikely they'd want to leave. I honestly can't remember a team that I've ever seen that seems to genuinely like each other as much as the Warriors. The old Showtime Lakers are the only one that I could think of that comes close. Maybe some of the Timmy, Tony, Manu Spurs?

Plus, Lebron's style of play would fit perfectly with what the Warriors do, but I don't think his personality would fit in all that well with the Warriors. They seem pretty chill. That could screw things up on the court.

The LBJ part of your comment is exactly what I think & IMO is spot on. It is the main reason I would never want to see him in GS.

Finally someone drops that wanna be tough guy

 

[LAD]

Lmfao @ Westbrook pushing that fan.

So happy for Blake.

Congrats @logic .

RW is such a freakin prima donna.

 

[LAD]

SPURS are just too decimated by injuries right now.
They have not played a single game with LA, Kawahi, Gasol, Gay, Parker, Mills, Ginobili, Anderson, and Green together..

IT is a decent job for Popovich (despite his relentless frustrating rest games) to have them where they are.

ALDRIDGE/LEONARD/GAY could have been a dominant front court, but bad luck is bad luck.
Although, if they get healthy. Nobody is going to want to play them at full strength.

I am still holding out hope that both Gay and Leonard will be back by May.

May??

Why trade Randle for Gordon? Gordon may have better range, but Randle is having the better season IMO.

Durant would have done the same thing. Draymond also.

Fan had no business on the court

Yup. Russ doesn't deserve any action here. Fan was a douche.

Issue with this is I don't think the Spurs make it out of round 1 if those two until May. What is Gay issue?
