    sweet Jesus, can we ever have a year where people don't bitch about trades?

    Where exactly would Dalton play? They already have Scoot, Simons, Sharpe, Banton, Rayun and Toumani.

    Is this the same Dalton who had a stretch of 5 games where he scored a *total* of 20 points? And shot 8-26 and 4-18 from 3?

    Dalton and a pick for Grant and Rob in principal (I know it doesn't work on salary).

    LeBron James Denies Son Receiving Preferential Treatment When Being Lifted Up To Dunk

    [​IMG]

    Published:
    November 13, 2024

    LOS ANGELES—Emphasizing that he treated the 20-year-old the same as any other rookie, Lakers power forward LeBron James denied Wednesday that his son Bronny received preferential treatment when he lifted him up to dunk. “Yes, he’s my son, but in no way do I favor him when I give him the ball, help hoist him up, and then walk him to the rim so he can score,” said the four-time NBA MVP, adding that his teammates were likely just jealous that when Bronny gets put back down, everyone cheers and tells him how amazing he is at basketball. “At the end of the day, my son worked hard to get where he is, and he’s earned the right to ask Daddy for ‘uppies.’ I get that people might think it’s unfair that I lift him backwards for reverse dunks, spin him around for 360 dunks, and even hold him above the basket to block shots. But I’d do that for anyone. Just ask Anthony Davis.” James also told reporters that if his teammates did not stop bullying his son, none of them would be invited to get pizza and ice cream after their next game.

    Knecht has played well all season so no it's not just one game.

    I think he has been playing pretty well all season. I was just sharing the latest games info in the Laker thread. I thought that’s what this thread was for. Or was it like the Billups thread where it’s just for NEGATIVE things? Let me know.

    Chill, dude. Check out the performances of other "old" rookies. Chris Duarte was looking like he'd trend upwards to at least a solid starter in his rookie year, but he's about to bounce out of the league. We know that Deni at least can sustain a year of high-level play in the NBA because he did it last year. And he's only a couple months older than Knecht.
