I love Love because he completely slammed the Lakers by saying Minnesota had a better team now and had better pieces in place. It was widely assumed he'd go to LA. Now, not so sure. LA is not your daddy's team anymore. The Next Gen Buss'ers are not as respected nor as adept at running a franchise as was Dr. Jerry. They're going to luck into a top-3 pick, but Kobe breaks down every season now and is nearing retirement. Not an automatic guarantee the Lakers rise from the ashes to become a championship contender. Once more celebs defect to the Clippers, there may be a sea change in LA. Clippers set to become the LA team of the next decade.

Love it
 
As an FYI, my daughter now says kids at her school make fun of those who wear Laker jerseys. It's hilarious! She used to try to embarass me by telling the other children I was a Jazz fan and hated the Lakers. Now she won't wear her youth sports jersey to school because it's purple and gold. At least it doesn't say Lakers, but I didn't have a choice of colors as the coach. I did make her take #32 in honor of Karl Malone. And she's a PF.
 
I agree with the Lakers assessment.

People assumed that the howard, kobe, nash trio was going all the way to the playoffs but ended up barely barely getting into the playoffs! These guys are reaching an age where your body will just fail on your at the highest level of basketball. Kobe is 35? People think Kobe coming back next season is going to make the Lakers a playoff team? I think Kobe won't do ANYTHING. He will probably get hurt again and if he doesn't get hurt he won't play like Kobe the great. He has been out of basketball now for literally 2 seasons.
 
Holy **** this is gonna be interesting. Wonder how much better this makes the Sixers????

Sounds like the Pacers got Evan Turner and LaVoy Allen?

Could work for the Pacers if Turner can thrive in 20 mpg.
 
Penny Granger is a shell of what he used to be. He sucks bigtime.

Sixers just upgraded their tank significantly.

The Packers look even stronger now to compete with the Heat.

Not a huge fan of their moves (as in, I think they won't get below the Bucks and were going to be that bad no matter what), but they robbed the Hornets last summer and are setup nicely because of it.

Agree. And no pic given up for Turner. Can't see how ANYONE could still believe Lindsey could have gotten a first for Marvin Williams.
Sixers wanted to come up to the salary floor. They wanted to dump Turner. Good deal for them. And a great short-term gamble for Indiana. Granger wasn't giving them anything.

Still, the Sixers traded two starters (Turner and Hawes) and only got a few second-round picks. Not a good trade market this year. So glad Lindsey got those first-rounders this summer. I remember some saying we should wait until the deadline.

If Youre going to tank you do it to the extreme. No guarantee they would be 2nd worst without these trades.

Why keep guys you dont have interest in re signing?
