    It will be easier to do a CJ/Gordon trade now, that the salaries match (for those that wanted to go this route)

    I wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs traded Leonard to the Lakers and Pops retires.

    Screw this crap. I'm going down to the gym and pump iron for a bit while listening to the Rocky IV soundtrack. I need a little pick-me-up while getting out the aggression. :pumpitup:

    Except we can't really bring someone in via sign-and-trade unless Nurk signs the QO.

    The idea was a trade whenever it is allowed after he signs.

    Lakers already making dumb, Cavs-esque moves.

    KCP and Lance are who you surround LeBron with? Way to go Tragic Johnson.

    This is the equivalent of a JR Smith signing.

    What’s pathetic is we are paying turner 75 mil for 4 years. The lance deal is like 4 million for a year. Compared their stats from last season and they are so similar. Makes me sick

    Who can only compete in the East with a mediocre cast. In the West, the Lakers are an also-ran as composed.

    If this is their team, I'm wondering how good they are... Probably not better than last years' Cavs team... Because KCP, Lance, and Lonzo are horrible fits next to him.

    Hopefully LeBron starts to decline as well.

    I don't see much parity in other professional sports either.
    Real Madrid, Patriots, Red Sox.
    NHL does well but....
    I mean even Nascar doesn't have much parity.

    Then you start to look at specific college programs across sports and generally see the same names near or at the top year after year. Sure generally a Cinderella appears but that still doesn't mean x college program isn't going to be there as well.

    It's retarded. I might actually put together the time to form a protest for Neil Olshey.

    I'm gonna disagree. Any team with LBJ on it is a contender. The Lakers will probably be better than Cleveland was I look for them to take the West. Golden State will compete but lose to the Lakers.

    Just because there's dominant teams in other sports doesn't mean there's not parity. Look at the list of champions and runner-ups the past 15 years for the NBA and all other sports. It's ridiculous. It's a huge difference.

    Nascar doesn't have parity? What? Martin Truex Jr. won the championship last year with a small-budget team. Since 2011, there's been 6 different champions in those 7 years. Jimmie Johnson isn't even in the top 10 in points right now and hasn't won a race in almost a year.
