    He would help our second unit tremendously! We win 50 games if he was our backup PG.

    I don't hate the Sonics like a lot of people. The only team I dislike is the Timberwolves because their fans are a bunch of jackholes that spammed us with Oden dick picks.

    But, having that many picks and trying to build a small market team is like a wet dream for me. I haven't felt like we were a contender as much since we had Roy, LMA and took Oden. And had Batum, Rudy, Sergio etc. We got with picks. I want that feeling again.

    Well, being that I absolutely HATE that team (fan is short for fanatic) I hope they do terribly with their picks. I cannot stand their owner.
    Clay Bennet shook down the taxpayers of Seattle and STOLE that team. I wish them nothing but detriment as long as he owns it.

    Yeah, and 8 years in NBA player years is like 24 years in normal humans.

    The Lakers are so over stacked that they might as well just cancel the entire season and hand out the rings right now.

    Anyone who ever tries to tell me LeBron is GOAT, when they can manufacturer him a team like this, is barking up the wrong tree.

    Really? It's the All-Washed team.

    No way they're as good as the Nets. But that's only if both teams are healthy. When both of them go down with multiple injuries and fail to make the conference finals (again) I shall bask in the sweet, sweet schadenfreude.

    Everything hinges on whether or not Anthony Davis can be bothered to get into shape. If he stays a fat lump like last season, the Lakers have no shot.

    And therein lies the other over stacked team. Me thinks the league will make sweet coin off of a LeBron and Kyrie rivalry. It also seems to be too much of a coincidence to be believable, that it wasn't manufactured by the league, for that very purpose.

    The NBA is a corrupt machine.

    Crazy Question:
    What is the record for the oldest average player age on opening day? How do the current Lakers stack up?
    Oldest average starter?

    Just going back the last 20 years, oldest average age of an entire roster is 31.4 years of age.

    So the NBA is telling all of these players to sign with the Lakers is your belief?

    Be careful how far you go down conspiracy highway - you might find yourself eating horse de-wormer.

    Don't ever do that.

    (if you want to treat people like they are crazy)

    Bye bye.

    The Lakers make the best trades in NBA history. They want a player, they can usually get them. That isn't by accident after all these years...
