  1. Shed's back acting up again
  2. Probably old news by now but I just noticed PJ Tucker's heading to Miami -------- The Heat are trading Butler to the Warriors, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Wednesday night, and the six-time All-Star has agreed to a new two-year, $121 million extension with Golden State through 2026-27. The multiteam trade includes Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson, P.J. Tucker (via the Jazz) and a protected first-round pick going to Miami, and Dennis Schroder heading from the Warriors to Utah. It also includes the Pistons, with the Warriors' Lindy Waters III and Heat's Josh Richardson headed to Detroit, sources said.
  3. Bit of Julia Roberts in her
  4. Why are you talking about 95 million? It's not going to remain $95M. It's going to balloon way the fuck up once all is said and done. You'll want to use their typical annual average if you want to get into it, and that's not going to be $95M. Holy sheet.
  5. $71M/year is 57% of Detroit's overall annual payroll lol https://hoopshype.com/salaries/
  6. What team could have afforded to trade for a $355M contract? I think the dollar value on both sides has to be fairly close. That's a staggering sum of money. $71M per year?!? Here is the highest payroll in the NBA. $71M is 2/3rds of the PHX entire payroll. fack Most of us are making like 0.001% or less of $71M a year.
  7. If he's not already in a wheelchair, then get ready to start seeing this on the Jumbotron again soon.
  8. He's probably asking every RB coach prospect, which RB he should draft in the first three rounds. Gotta hope it'll finally be a priority this year.
  9. I don't really know how to Twitter but has anyone seen any comments from Cuban about the trade? Just wondering what his reaction was. https://x.com/mcuban
  10. Klay will have to work harder for his shots, but he'll get more of them now.
  11. Shaq never signed an extension with the Orlando Magic after they drafted him. He left as a free agent to the Lakers. He spent most of his later career with the Miami Heat. And then a couple small blips on Cavs and maybe one or two outer teams.
  12. quote from lakers board: ------ Mr. Rambis said: Folks - been abroad and woke up a few hours ago to see this news. WOW! Still catching up... Appreciate everyone's thorough analysis here (you all really know your stuff these days). Let me share what I know, if I'm not repeating too much... In all my years in the business (semi-retired now), I've never seen a trade of this magnitude kept this quiet. I had ZERO clue! Back when we landed Pau, I had the inside scoop a few hours beforehand. My old firm is in absolute crisis mode trying to handle the international scale marketing - haven't seen anything like it. They haven't slept since the news dropped! Word is, Lakers management kept this under tight wraps because they didn't want another team swooping in with a better offer to Dallas. They didn't even loop in LeBron (his people tend to talk, God bless them). They used all their leverage on Rich Paul to ensure he stayed quiet until the ink was dry. On the business side, Harris and Buss never felt AD had that true star power, not like LeBron or our dear Kobe (rest his soul). The league's gone global, and they've been eyeing an international face. They tried for Giannis years back with no luck, but Luka might be an even better fit for a diverse city like LA. There's also a longstanding cultural element here - the team has never been a fan of defensive big men as the franchise face. The Dwight situation left a bad taste, and don't get me started on the Kwame Brown days. The front office has always preferred those flashy offensive players, like during Showtime. That's just how it is. Remember they hired Mike D'Antoni for that very reason!! Between us, there's some give-and-take happening here. Expect the Lakers to return the favor down the line, perhaps helping move some salary around as a 3rd team in a future deal. Dallas seems to be trying to build a collaborative relationship with us, unlike some teams that insist on the "Lakers tax". Smart, IMO! Here's what else I'm hearing - AD is actually happier about this than Luka right now (hence waiving the trade kicker). He was concerned about wasting his prime during next year's farewell tour and the post-LeBron transition. Also, we all know he wasn't thrilled about playing center. Can't blame the young man. My sources say Luka has given his word about staying long-term (meaning we can go all in on promoting him without worrying about the risk he walks), but Pelinka rolled the dice before getting that assurance. That takes some guts, if you ask me! One last tidbit - hold off on getting too attached to any projected starting lineups. Marketing has been told to hold off on any promotional material regarding the starting 5! More moves are coming, mark my words! Congrats to the entire LakersBall community for sticking through the highs and lows!! This is the most promising young player we've traded for since that special kid from Charlotte!!!
  13. This true? holy https://x.com/DonHarris4/status/1885930691386364043 dammit I have to post a screenshot?
  14. Very mixed reactions at the Lakers forum. First page is mostly people upset about losing AD. https://lakersball.com/threads/luka-doncic-discussion-the-magic-is-back-luka-magic.4118/
  15. Hopefully for Luka, LeBron will show him how to get in shape and heal faster.
  16. Hah hah hah Cal's season will probably not end well but he gets this win.
  17. UK Williams was a dumbass, walking up to the pig bench
  18. The Longhorns win + this + this.... make my night.
  19. That was the story I heard? Calipari was starting to suck, so UK told him to git out or git fired. Have no idea where I read that. Hahah, but he's getting some revenge for SOMETHING right now.
  20. I'd actually like to see an upset by Arkansas, see Kentucky swallow their tail
