    Oh shut up with your stupid basketball logic. This is a lineup from hell and I prefer to live in the delusional world where they hate each other's guts and the Lakers aredestroyed for another five years.

    Of course those three could co-exist. But I don't think Pop will give the Lakers Kawhi and I don't think LeBron would go to the Lakers and invite comparison with Kobe.

    I predict the Lakers will be like the Magic when they made that swing for Tim Duncan and ended up with Tracy McGrady (nice!) and permanently damaged Grant Hill (not so nice).

    Yes, because technically, a nightmare is a dream.

    San Antonio is a "shit market". Their market is smaller than ours. See what happens when you draft a generational player?

    Rudy Gay opts out of last year of his contract, $8.8 million left on the table.
    Why?

    You don't think he can get more than that in FA? He had a pretty strong season.

    You're making excuses. Boston has the 2nd highest flat income tax in the nation. Blaming Portland needs to stop. It's silly.

    Very misleading statement. Aka bs.

    Mass. has a top income tax rate of 5.1%

    OR top tax rate is 9.9% for income over $125,000

    That's pretty much the non-taxpayer MLE. He'll get that on multiple years.

    So he can sign with Portland, of course.

    Clippers not picking up team option for Milos Teodosic. Sounds like they want to get younger.

    Milos is a savvy veteran pg that made a positive impact last season. When he was not injured.

    Boston is also a destination city with a rich history and a great coach. Not a good comparison.

    We are what we are, a mediocre team from a bad sports market. It sucks, but life sucks sometimes.

    Woj says CP3 will re-sign in Houston and focus on recruiting LBJ.

    They need quite a bit of cap maneuvering to get James and a lot of this will have to happen before they can legally talk to James. They will lose Capela for sure, and won't re-sign Ariza. No way they find a taker for Anderson, but we can help take on Eric Gordon if it's before July 1.
