Irving has till 5pm today (Jake Fischer) to opt in or is it the 29th?

“With LeBron, if you give him someone like Kyrie … they’ll have a chance because of the way Kyrie can score the basketball,” he said. “LeBron will only put him in position to do that. Kyrie has not proven to be a great leader. LeBron will put an umbrella over that. If you can do what you’re good at, you have LeBron leading.”

“They could contend,” he admitted, “but they won’t beat us.”

No but I can't wait to hear it LOL

He's just being Cocky Draymond.

But, that shit with Perkins getting spicy!

 

[The Q]

Would.they also need to hold off on Lebron's extension until after signing Kyrie?

I would think their books would be clean enough to give him near max in cap if they only do 1 year vet mins this summer.

LeBron cap hold is an issue. His cap hold might be less than his actual contract

I don’t know which is higher

 

[The Q]

.....and he's injured.

He fits the Celtics tpe and is udoka’s godson or something like that lol

Yep.

I mean, he's not wrong.

But, that's lighter fluid to a mental midget like Kyrie.

Remember: He thought he was equal partners in running the Nets.

I have no doubt he will attempt a coup with the Lakers.

 

[Black Adam]

This was the only way the Lakers were getting Kryrie from day one, if he forces his way to LA. Definitely more of a possibility now.

On the one hand, great player...

On the other, total headcase...

Honestly not sure about him being here...

We don't have a lot of options at this point.....he won with LeBron. I think they can do it again.

James, AD, and Irving if they're all healthy and playing? They could be dangerous.

[Mecca]

Yep.

Acted like it would be no big deal but he's a fucking joke after calling another black player a coon.

I got the Ogre if it gets physical.

My biggest problem with what Draymond said is that it's pretty much the equivalent of a non-black calling Perk the N-WORD.

Dumb ass Myers Leonard lost his job, and hasn't gotten another, for a similar slur.

But, like OJ, Watson, Tyson......

We look the other way when you are uber-talented or successful.

So, lets see if the NBA or Warriors chime in.

"as long as we trade for Durant and Kyrie misses most of the series, " he added.

I kid....I kid.

Perk is big ogre, Dray is the mouth breather.

Ok.

 

[Mecca]

Hey, remember when this was a thing just a month ago?

I hate Perk.

But, this is exactly why some people, not only the racist and gun nuts, hate Kerr.

* Some also hate him for the teams success *

Can't have these double standards.

The Warriors should say.....something.

Coon is a fucking slur too.

“Does it surprise me that a weatherman would tweet a slur at Draymond? In 2022? Not in the slightest bit,” Kerr said. “This is America. This is how we operate.”

I'd much rather have Wall.

The Clippers and Heat have shooters.

The Lakers, not so much.

....oof.

This is really bad.

She had to leave the bubble for mental health reasons.

I hate to say this....

But, without mental health intervention, I don't like the odds of her surviving this setback.

I live in Phoenix.

There have been other problems.

She broke Russian law.

It’s on camera.

It’s going to be really hard to deal with this diplomatically.

And it happened well before the Russia/Ukraine conflict.
