Then I guess people are gonna be really surprised when the Lakers either miss the playoffs or lose to GSW/Rockets in the first round. I didn't know that people were high on them for this season

Mavs don't have a better roster gmab

But the other 8 teams that I listed do.

 

DSJ/Doncic/Barnes/Jordan is a pretty good core. Not as good as LeBron/Ingram/Kuzma/Ball, but good enough that depth and coaching can make them a contender for the 8 seed

I'm guessing if those two former #2 picks that are 20 and 21 years old turn into the players most thought they could be the lakers will be just fine.

 

 

LA is the obvious destination. 

Clippers? Sixers? Rockets?

 

Can't imagine the Bulls are an option

How can the Bulls manage the cap to get Butler?  

ha, way off

 

So the Clippers he could potentially join Kawhi and the NY teams he can join up with Kyrie. And get paid.

 

Hollywood as hell

Holy crap.  Butler really doesn't care about winning.

Man, Rose only looks better in the retrospect of the Butler-Rose "feud"
Thibs' shine is all but gone.

Luol about to average 32 MPG minimum

 

So he can lose in the first round every year?

There have to be players on teams not named Golden State, folks.

You guys hear the rumor that he hooked up with KAT's gf? Well, now exgirlfriend?

I know that KAT wouldn’t sign the offer they gave him unless Jimmy was gone

I pay light attention to the NBA, mostly because Durant, LeBron and the Heat and GSW have ruined competitive balance for the better part of the decade. I hope that both continue to get roasted for those moves for the remainder of eternity. Basketball used to be one of my favorite sports, but LeBron and Durant have ruined it for me. They're both all-time greats, don't get me wrong but both of them rubbed me the wrong way with their "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" moves.

Dude is so much drama. He made me actually like Rondo.

 

Lauri the troll

 

Reinforces my belief that Jimmy wasn't worth it and Thibs is a complete sociopath incapable of creating a comfortable work environment.

Nice dispute going on in Minny. Owner has said Jimmy will be traded, while Thibs is telling teams who ask they won't trade Jimmy.

I still don’t think much of the basketball fit but man I love having Jabari back in Chicago. What a good person.

Minnesota looked like they  were going to be a pretty good team when they got Jimmy but now it's a pretty sad situation over there. It's become clear that Wiggins just isn't going to be that good, KAT's defense is a question, and they now have to ship out Jimmy because nobody gets along.

And KAT just signed a super max deal, so he is going no where.
