    Apparently the shouting match continued after the game with Toronto. Anyone else going to be happy when the Lakers sign him to an MAX extension?

    I feel like this is great for the Blazers. Dallas has locker room/on-court problems, Houston will be getting Howard back (eventually) and could ruin team chemistry (aka Harden having the ball less), and OKC maybe not having Durant the rest of the year. We just need to get healthy, which should lead to better play, and more wins.

    I will be. He's such a sociopathic knucklehead that Russell Westbrook looked at him and said, "Damn, that's one sochiopa... sochopia... shochio... Fuck it. Dude's an asshole!"

    I don't think the Lakers will sign Rondo to a max they will actually be in good position to draft Emmanuel Mudiay or DAngelo Russell. This draft is pretty deep.

    I am when the team is in the need of a rebuild. I'm not when a team is considered a strong championship contender.

    Wonder what happened. After the game, Carlisle said they had moved past it. Then he gets suspended?

    Funny, I thought LAL traded away their draft pick to PHX, who traded it to...another team.

    It is top 5 protected this year. They would have to have a couple of teams leap frog them in order to lose it this year.

    Yes. Phoenix traded that pick to Philly. So....if the Lakers get a top 5 pick, it's theirs. Otherwise, Philly gets LA's pick.

    Then they'll trade it for another pick and three second rounders #SixersLogic

    Does anyone think Lakers are building a winning roster out of nothing this summer? Heck if I'm Philly I might hope pick stays with Lakers as it's only top3 protected next year and completely unprotected after.

    I think the Lakers are rebuilding what will become a winning roster. It's gonna be 2-3 years before they're a real playoff team.

    Yep. They're going to get the #1, draft Okafor, get Randle back healthy, sign Rondo, get Kobe back healthy, and make the playoffs next year.

    It is written.
