    Way better than Luke in about every way. Way more accomplished.

    As for Kidd, certainly not ideal given the DV stain, but he's been hired multiple times since that happened and been enshrined. I don't think he necessarily had to shrink into non-existence after fucking up with his wife. Just do better with his 2nd chance, which he's done. Guys fuck up, but the habitual fuck up artists are the guys to avoid.

    In other news it sounds like Boston's scapegoat Kyrie is lining up for LAL. Lonzo could be a pretty good backcourt partner for Kyrie in a Klay sort of way if he can stay healthy. Shit, if both can stay healthy. Lonzo can take all of the tough defensive assignments and make life easier on Kyrie night to night. Still prefer Kawhi, as most others probably do as well

    Lonzo is gone the second David Griffin says yes

    Sounds good in theory.
    However, in order to get to the question you have to get past the Rambis bunch that was determined to have Kidd here mentoring/developing Lonzo

    Denver kids blew a huge Game 7 lead @ home.
    Still time left, but it's looking like Dame time

    Nikola Chokic @ the free throw line late Lol

    Denver looks like it could be onto something..maybe. Kids don't win championships. Guess we'll find out over the next 2-3 years if they're up to it. Jury still out. Kiddie table for now

    Porzingis bloodied in a Latvian street fight? That 2015 draft is a clown show almost top to bottom

    Josh Jackson arrested. Tried to run after being handcuffed. Lol Definitely had character concerns coming into the league, but still thought he had a good chance of being picked by LAL.

    Outside of a couple guys, the 2017 draft hasn't been much better than the 2015 draft. Good luck to Kuz @ the draft lottery tomorrow.

    Per Woj, LAL's focus is AD. No surprise. An AD trade can't be official until July, can only be agreed to in principle, but it's a trade that should be agreed to on draft night and that process begins tomorrow @ the lottery.

    Per Ramona, Lakers insist on making Zo work, are still super-high on him. Not hard to fathom, having employed Kidd. Makes sense. Sending Kuz to the lottery as LAL rep feels strategic, like they're showing off what's probably their best asset in the eyes of many

    Report: LAL minority owners are quietly protesting Jeanie and the team's direction. Anschutz and friends are not happy, are in wait and see mode, waiting to see what happens this summer with the roster construction and how the season goes next year. The " real money movers and shakers " reportedly will not stand by and watch the destruction. She took over the team in a coup, and it can be done to her in return.

    Already had to evict one owner from Staples..looks like Jeanie's gonna be staring at the Donald Sterling sentence if this Rambis/shadow owner BS backfires.

    Call me an infernal optimist but I believe we will rise from the "ashes" when all is said and done.

    Or we'll all burn like the people of King's Landing. Definitely feels like Jeanie is on Dany Targaryen's path to destruction.

    Hope you're right though, obviously. Today's draft lotto results would be a start. Hopefully, Zion doesn't land in some shitstain city like Atlanta and disappear for 6 years. Have seen some photoshopped pics of Zion in a Laker jersey. Some look better than others in LAL purple and gold..I would say he looks pretty good. [no homo] Very Shaq-ish

    Would be a talented duo, no doubt, but nothing promised beyond that. If Young were a wing I'd take that potential duo more seriously. As talented as Young is, he plays a position where it's going to be an uphill battle for a smaller, slight guy that can be taken advantage of on the defensive end. Ultimately, they'd both kneel to King Giannis, like everyone else that plays in the east from this year forward.

    Brett Brown returning to Philly. Tough Philly job since Embiid and Simmons don't fit together.

    Would hate to be Elton Brand. The backlash of trading Embiid would be too great. And Simmons being their only durable star under contract makes it tough to deal him..even though Brand wanted to trade him at the deadline.
