    Hello darkness, my old friend
    No thread, we just made some jokes about it in the Around The NBA thread.

    I have mixed emotions about the part in bold. It's the Lakers, so of course I want the max penalty possible.

    But, on the other hand, if he is banned from playing for the Lakers, it significantly increases the odds he stays in OKC, and I don't want that either.

    Either outcome sucks. I just don't want Magic getting his way.

    Its so hard to prove this. I think this is more the league saying "hey were watching so don't make it so goddamn blatant please" then it is them wanting to crack down on it and actually punish teams.

    Does Magic own horses? We should "tamper" one of them.

    I'm just sayin... Did this non blazer news, about a team we hate and a GM we fired, deserve a whole thread (not labeled OT) when we already covered it in the around the NBA thread? :dunno:

    It's like @HCP made a thread about his favorite team cause he's pissed at KPee.

    Free speech in the US is taken way to far.

    I didn't know you guys had been talking about it in the AROUND THE NBA thread because I had been working for 8 hours today. I heard about on the radio while doing my job and when I was on my way home I looked for it on the forum main page and didn't find anything about it on the main page or the OT page which legitimately surprised me because I thought for sure there would be one just purely for trash talk on the Lakers. I did not read the Around the NBA thread because I figured this story was too big to get lost in a thread like that and would surely have its own thread. Surely.

    I guess I was wrong.

    Now I don't have time to debate with you right now as I have to go to sleep so I won't be tired at the job I work at for 8 hours MON-FRI.

    Good night.

    Talk about being passive aggressive.

    You don't have time to debate with me but you have time to pen this long-ass Soliloquy about nothing... :dunno:
