    Remember when Laker fans were proclaiming him to be the next big thing?

    He was Vogel's Center when AD, Drummond, and other misc. bigs were on the shelf. Horton-Tucker is ~6'5" and built like a truck, so he was guarding the biggest guys. It didn't work in the NBA world, but Lakers fans live in an alternate reality that allows them to brag about every player.

    “Laker fans” like The Uber Driver is a “Blazer fan” here?

    Could you just imagine if there is a forum somewhere and they were posting, hey these “Blazer fans” are saying this and said they heard that. Whoa….

    more Zach LaVine rumors got floated today. Lakers podcasters will take him if Chicago adds draft picks to Zach's 140m/3yr contract.

    I googled Uber Driver & Horton Tucker. Here's the headline:

    "Once an uber-promising prospect, the Lakers cutting bait with Talen Horton-Tucker this offseason shows how badly they mismanaged the entire situation"

    They fucked it up.

    Should have been: "Once an uber-promising prospect, the Lakers cutting bait with Talen Horton-Tucker this offseason, hoping for a lyft."

    You know, it's too bad that the person who claimed the Twitter account @ShamCharania back in 2016 doesn't use it.

    Spurs fans want to trade Paul & Barnes to the Clippers to get Kawhi Leonard back.

    No, there were actually a lot of Laker fans who treated him like he was going to be a star.

    And yes, I know *every* fan base does that.

    Luis Montero ring a bell?

    more T-Wolves ducking tax rumors today. Someone churned out KAT to the Pistons for unknown return.
