2018 NBA offseason

Nope, still not answering. Even if it did I doubt it changes? What does that mean?

I asked, if LeBron is the perfect teammate and isn't a big diva as a Laker maybe because he's old now and Magic reels him in, how will you feel about him?

You keep dodging because ive painted you into a corner. If he stops being a jackass then you have no reason to hate him. But that's all you care about. And you even have yourself thinking it's a matter of "principle"

ok, well then YOU can keep trying to squeeze out the answer you wanna hear, and i'll continue on with my day...

if supposition all you've got i'm hardly feeling down...

lol, now i HAVE to like him? umm, no...

I wonder what DJ is going to have for dinner tonight....

 

[Black Adam]

STILL one of my all-time favorites...

then 2 and 3 came along...

whatever it is he won't keep us in suspense for long...

 

[Black Adam]

Goddamn ............

How the fuck is this kid so agile?

6'7 and 285 pounds...Wtf?

That's about a foot ABOVE the rim.

An extraordinary leaper and big-time athlete, Williamson set a new record at Duke for vertical leap during the team’s summer combine testing this week.

Williamson cleared the rack during testing. Plenty of guys have been able to clear the rack during vertical testing. But not many are built like NFL defensive lineman.

The rack had to be elevated for Williamson to properly finish out his vertical testing. He’s also listed at 6-foot-7, 285 pounds on the Duke website.

that's some VERY sick athleticism...

You've really got LeBron Derangement Syndrome, chief. I never said you had to like him. I just asked if there was anything the man could do to change your opinion on him. It's not likely, but it's not impossible that he turns into an elder statesman with the Lakers. That he dials back the diva act and works with the team and brings you guys another ring or two.

Because you are deranged, I suspect that there's nothing he can do to ever make you respect him or root for him. You prefer hating the man to the titles he may bring. And to make it worse, your sports identity is so wrapped up in hating him that you've convinced yourself that changing your opinion would make you unprincipled.

Look, you are of course free to have your opinions. That's what this place is for, sports opinions. But if you have a weird one, and you do, you're gonna get shit for it.

From the looks of his manner of employment, probably cocaine.

I think there's going to be a press conference about it at 5pm.

Right now, Vegas has 3-1 odds on a sandwich from Jeff's Place.

 

[flyerhawk]

Lol. How can his importance be overstated? .

I dunno. Maybe by suggesting that Magic deserves a second statue for getting Lebron to come to LA?

Kobe could save 2 boxes full of kittens and a orphanage full of babies from a blazing inferno and I still wouldn't spit on his ass if he was on fire.

Sports doesn't have to be rational.

Lol. How can his importance be overstated? Seems to me that some want to understate it.

If the front office was still being run by Jim Buss, Lebron isn't a Laker. I think we all agree on that.

Magic and Pelinka are running things and stabilized the FO to the point that they not only got Lebron to come to the Lakers, but to sign the longest deal he has since Miami. They also have cap space and assets to add more as well.

Could another team president and GM have done what Magic and Pelinka have done?

Probably, but the fact is, it was Magic and Pelinka who did it.

Not only that but they convinced him to come without any other superstar immediately joining him and rumors have it he also waived his No Trade clause

yep, deranged..

because clearly anyone NOT "deranged" would either love LeClown or give him a pass for his words, attitude, etc...

lmfao you should hear yourself...

don't like the guy, don't HAVE to like the guy, and that, btw, has been the entire point the WHOLE time...

so keep "giving me shit" for who i can like or DISlike. i don't feel bad for it nor SHOULD i...

or maybe more supposition, like what if LeClown became President...

Obviously he was joking about putting up another statue. Obviously he was overstating the important of Magic in getting Lebron.

It's getting worse. You literally can't see what I'm asking. I'll try again:

Is. There. Anything. He. Can. Do. To. Change. Your. Opinion?

You get offended by even the question that you would lessen the hate. That's derangement.

 

[msgkings322]

Most of us love you now!

But LeBron is far more likely to be a solid citizen and team player and non-diva than for you to get even close to a trillion!

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Obviously he was joking about putting up another statue. Obviously he was overstating the important of Magic in getting Lebron.

He wasn't overstating anything. For the first time in 22 years the Lakers land a superstar player in free agency. For the first time since Kareem they got the best player in the league to join them.

That deserves recognition.

I would expect you to buy the Lakers and give me courtside season tickets for life though
