2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Didn't call dibs whatsoever; the media did. We all know the lead story on each of those players (and the coach) was Lakers before they became Clippers.

Who cares what the media says?

They gaslight you Lakers fans for clicks.

How many times have they said Kyrie will be a Laker?

How many times did they say the same about Kawhi?

They link every player to you be cause it generates business.

Doesnt make it real.

What lead players and coaches are you referring too?

You whiffed on Lue because of years and money.

He was never your coach…lmfao

Kawhi flat out chose the Clippers.

CP3 could have gone across the hall after his first year.

He didn’t.

He chose to stay a Clipper.

Seriously, I am actually laughing my ass off that you think the Clippers shouldn’t go after players because the Lakers liked them first…lol

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Are they getting ready to trade him?

His shooting isn't good and this is the first time during his 15 year career he's not averaging double figures.

Doesn’t get a ton of burn and he’s been injured.

But, when it’s all said and done, since landing AD, hasn’t happened.

Twist, twist away. PASSED on Lue because of years/money. CP3 was traded for until other teams came crying to the commish. Never said the Clippers shouldn't pursue anybody.

Regardless, I thank the Clippers for all of their efforts to save the Lakers from themselves. That's what little brothers/tenants are for!

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I’ll just go ahead and say it, Lakers

Future Lakers…lol

Get the ole UCLA band back together again.

 

[shopson67]

...and wasn't producing when he did get minutes.

(looks side-eyed at the 2 UCLA players on the Clippers roster vs the one on the Lakers roster for another few days)

Lmao.

You are very welcome.

You dodged a bullet with Kawhi.

You won a chip with Vogel.

So, it worked out.

Clippers will always be little brother and are a afterthought until they actually win.

But, little brother has broken their foot off in big bros ass 10 times straight and are like 35-7 versus for the last few years.

I will have to take comfort in currently being the tallest midget with a owner that doesn’t have to pinch Pennie’s because their star player is worth more than the entire family.

It’s not much.

But, its all I have.

If he gets traded I hope it's to a contender.

Next few days?

You better pray.

Serious question: Would you rather have Norman Powell or Russell Westbrook?

Veteran player on a young roster.

Didn’t make waves when the rookie took his spot.

But, they believe they have a punchers chance now.

So, why carry dead weight?

they don't really have any assets to trade with him to take advantage of the dead weight salary.

another spot to send hayward in theory.

As much as I think your owner is a goofball, I'm growing to despise the Buss spawn for having zero clue, but still not having a president of basketball operations in place to make the important decisions.

They should hire me

You’d already have turner and hield

I actually like the fact that they are showing some spine with Lebron’s demands.

You just wish they had done so before setting the franchise back years with Westbrook.

But, Jeanie has to stop trying to run the Lakers like a Mom and Pop store by hiring family and friends.

Hire some competent basketball minds and capologists and allow them to actually do their jobs.

The Rambi should have NO SAY.

She can bounce ideas off of Phil and Magic.

But, they should hold no sway.

This is the wrong time to stand up to Lebron

You might as well trade him if you’re gonna worry about 27 and 29 over trying to take advantage of his last few years

Are you asking for a trade? Powell/Morris/Kennard for Russ is almost even money...gets your PG...pretty please lol?

I probably would've done the same, lol. Now our best bet probably involves taking on Hayward.

 

[shopson67]

Bored and antsy at the same time. Our inventory management system has been down all day, so all I can do is sit around and wait. Antsy because I don't want to wait until Thursday for the Lakers to get any deals done (or even worse, not).

Oh, I agree.

Listen, they aren’t that far off from being a legit threat.

Wing defender, solid shooter and they are in business.

As currently constructed, they are 50/50 to even make the playin.

Other teams are getting healthy and will start pulling away.

I don’t understand how they can waste His record breaking Season when there are moves they can make to improve.

This team has not sniffed .500 since game 1 of the NBA Season.

That’s so gross.

Do you anticipate a big deal or a fringe move?

Clippers are trying to get a pg and a big.

They desperately need both.

Zu is breaking down.

Wall is on bricks.

George is not the answer.
