Now that wouldn't surprise me.

Papa Ball beat LeBron in a game of 1 on 1 last summer.

Actually looking back at it, I hope they get the #3. They would play the Wiz then possibly Boston. Toronto in the 2nd round would be tough

4 would be better for them IMO. Toronto is so scared of the Cavs. Not sure I would want to play Boston in round 2 since Kyrie & Smart would be back by then. Boston is also the top defensive team in the league

Ugh. Bazley decommits from Syracuse to go to the D-league next year. Syracuse finally gets a top 10 recruit and this happens. Meanwhile, guys stack up to go to Duke and Kentucky year after year (shakes head)...can't get a break!

Yeah but it will give Boston less time to recover. If Wall gets healthy but they lose to the Wiz but I doubt it

Would you throw out a guy if he said this to you?

“Call the fucking foul you bitch-ass motherfucker!”

That’s the shit that gets you knocked out. The little twig thinks he is a hard ass now

Doesn't matter to me. Just like I said about Shaq last night, he said on air that players would cuss the refs out and the refs would cuss back and it would be the end of it. You think this is the first time a player has cussed a ref out in their face? This shit happens all the time. Sit in the front row and you'll hear it. It's why they turn the mics down next to the court so its not picked up on the telecast. The ref a couple of months back (Lauren whatshername) handled it right when Draymond Green was cussing her out. He was in her face cusses and she warned him MULTIPLE times saying "Draymond, get out of my face" before tossing him.

The ref last night needs to T him up and give time to walk away. Players are going to be frustrated, especially this year because in general, the reffing has been absolute garbage. They're working in a lot of newer refs and the flat out are blowing many easy calls.

Yeah.
Cons...
Guys run the risk of damaging their draft status if they perform poorly.
Plus, they will be taking jobs away from struggling, grown ass men who might be salty about it.
Pros
They stop taking scholarships away from student athletes that have their eyes on getting a degree.
They have a chance to make a little money, can stay stateside and can benefit from playing in a NBA system.
The pay is awful. 19-23 k
But, they can cleanup on endorsement money.

G League needs some major upgrading before this becomes helpful. Not just pay -- but coaching, facilities, etc. I heard a scout say a while back -- would it be better for a 19 year old to be in G League or at Duke/Kentucky? Clearly (today) they would get better coaching, facilities, experience in NCAA.

If it makes you feel any better about the Lakers your favorite player in the league won't be wearing the Purple & Gold. And I don't think Paul George will be enough to get him there either.
