[Mecca of the “B” Team]

For whom, I wonder.

Maybe Reddish?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Reddish?

Yep

 

[shopson67]

Facial confusion…idk what that means long term

A black eye?

 

[shopson67]

Yep

Wow, a first for Hart...

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

A black eye?

No, he got the shit knocked out of him.

Maybe not a concussion.

But , a headache is on the way.

 

[fightinfunbags]

This is the most poetic shit ever. The local joke around here is that there are more Giants flags flying in Villanova dorms than Eagles fans. Now Villanova is officially in New York.

A question or 2 for some or any of you Lakers' fans in here....

Do you think/believe Darvin Ham is the right man/match currently for your team's HC position?

If yes...why?
If no....why not?

Undecided. He's made some rookie mistakes...but considering what he was given to work with, he's been solid, imo.

Now the real test begins because he has an NBA roster to work with and hopefully, another piece or 2 by the end of the day tomorrow.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Wow, even better

[The Q]

Wow, even better

Danny should’ve been fired after the two big trades.

His work was done.

Needed someone to not ruin the next decade by costing them Vic to take table scraps anyway

He’s a first time head coach with a team that has its two best players injury prone, and until this last trade, had a $47m bench player who can’t shoot for shit and is abysmal in crunch time.

I’m happy to wait and see what happens

 

[bksballer89]

Kyrie on fire

 

[bksballer89]

Bullock with 5 made threes

Costing them Vic LOL

Even the worst team in the league doesn't have great odds to get him

 

[True Lakers Fan]

They won't lose him for nothing. He'll either be re-signed or he'll be sign&traded to a team to get something in return.

Might as well start the gossip rumor mill now that Kyrie is gonna sign with the Lakers this summer and they'll sign and trade him to the Mavs for D'lo and pieces. /s

The Lakers got Vanderbilt and Beasley in this deal and both are 40% free throw shooters, and Angelo is as well - Truthfully - I am not sold on Irving at all

 

[Mebert]

The way I see it, Jalen Nowell is gone after this year. He is a scorer they keep trying to shoehorn as a pg.

Ried is well worth the 10 he wants, but can theyxswing it with Kat/Gobert making so much?

They have no picks to refill the bench, and the window for freeing cap before Edwards extension has closed with this trade.

I honestly did not see how I could have a lower opinion of the Timberwolves future than I had at the start of the day, but damn! I see at best 4-5 years of first round exits. And no path for correction.

He should’ve put them in position to get froggy

Simple as that

Taking these scraps should’ve been done in sept if he was gonna be willing to take this

What pg were you getting with that cap space that’s better than Conley?

 

[Mebert]

Better than 37 year old PG for 24 million? Plenty of options.

There is no "position" to get him. Plus they had no idea the team would be as good as they've been.
