    the Lakers owner had quite a bit to say today. Jeanie believes the criticism on social media is all huffle-puff. And she put a championship level team together. It's now up to the players to put it all together like Kobe & Magic did.

    some hoser on FanDuel predicted Sacramento to finish 10th in the West.

    the Kings got worse ?? I had no clue swapping Harrison Barnes for DeRozan would click the franchise down a notch.

    the Clippers are better then Kings after Paul George walked?

    the Warriors improved after replacing Klay with SloMo ?

    there's a whole thread about the Lakers, so no opinion here is necessary.

    Sacramento has the opportunity to become Giant Killers, if they successfully take down the "more popular teams" in the Western Conference.

    Skylar Mays is a PG who got spot minutes with the Hawks to begin his career. He was shifted to the G-League for a number of years.

    Late in the 2023 Blazers season, a massive tanking unit was deployed by GM Cronin. Portland rescued Mays from the G-League and signed him to a couple 10 day contracts.

    During the off-season, Skylar impressed the Blazers coaching staff with his gritty play and ball control skillset. After taking terrific advice from Blazer scouts, coaches, and talent analysts, Portland's GM signed Skylar Mays to a 1 year guaranteed contract.

    About halfway through the 23/24 Blazers campaign, Portland's GM cut Skylar Mays, and handed the team's owner Jody Allen an unsigned Skylar Mays check for $500,000. The GM smiled, and said "you need to pay off the rest of Skylar's contract. We have a deal lined up with Boston for a guard we like better (Dalano Banton)". The Blazers owner smiled and replied "OK, sounds good to me :-) ", and she swiftly wrote Skylar Mays his final Blazers paycheck.

    Skylar floated in Free Agent limbo for just a few days, until the Lakers grabbed him off the market. Skylar didn't see much action with LeBron's championship Lakers, but he was getting paid by 2 teams to be a practice guy/bench warmer. Not a bad line of work for anyone, good job Skylar.

    ...

    i have no data on Eugene Omoruyi. The NBA report said he's a small forward. He's got one of those weird names the Bulls & Cavs usually hire. I'll take guess and say he's a Central Division youngster with potential.
