Hmm. Still like the Bulls out of the east if everyone stays healthy. Curious how the rookie coach will handle this team.

^^Me too. Love is good and all, but I've always thought that taller players in the post have the advantage come playoff time. Love has plenty to contend with Noah, Pau, Gibson, etc. Lots of bodies to throw out there.

Health is the most important thing though. Bulls need it, but Love nor Kyrie have been iron men either.

How many times do I have to tell you mofos: Jeremy Rin is NOT a ...he's essentially Connie Chung with a set of gonads. He is yerrow but does not act yerrow and talks more than half of East Harlem.



He ain't on my team. Wang Zhizhi is going 1st overall foo. Mengke Bateer is my 2nd pick.

if i were going to a game full of black or white or Hispanics, i will feel uncomfortable too when everyone stares at me. that is human nature, not racist.

the peeps in so cal have already successfully driven EVERYONE outta the whole entire 626 area code and they are invading 909 as we speak and already taken over half of 949.

Soon So cal will not have illegal immigrant problems, because will drive up the house prices so high that they will not be able to afford to cross illegally.

i guess you can't call us racist because we don't discriminate when it comes to invasion

I did read an article in Deadspin though that the NFL coaches hated their Surfaces and some head coaches like Andy Reid and Belichick don't even use them as they have no idea how.

Wow so 2016 offseason will be crazy with the TV revenue tripling based on the new deal. That means larger contracts. Lebron's going to make $30MM/yr by then. Plus there's a story that we can watch games online without a cable provider.

Steve Nash out for 14-15 season. Nash did more to help Lakers opponents over the last several years than he did when he was on another team. I was never a fan of the Lakers signing him at that point in his career.

The Lakers acquisition of Nash is the worst transaction in their history hands down. They gave up 2 first round and 2 second round picks for an over the hill guy that already had a history of back problems. Nash played in 65 games and was a shadow of the All-Star player he was. It's as if the Lakers front office was paying attention to his decline in Phoenix the previous 2+ seasons.


Don't blame the Lakers decline on Kobe it's the Lakers management that's to blame hands down.

Anyone read this write-up by ESPN about Kobe...?

Fascinating: Is Kobe Bryant the reason for the Los Angeles Lakers' downfall?

That article made it sound like if Kobe was not there, the available superstars in 2014 would have signed with Lakers, which i highly doubt it.

Lechoke - it was obvious that he has made the decision to return to Cavs long before. So really he was never available to other teams. It was just a decision between staying in the heat and Cavs.

Kevin Love - he has no ring, of course he will prefer to follow Lechoke who is still in his prime to have a chance to get the ring. If Lechoke went to Lakers, then Kevin love would probably be going to the Lakers as well . Kobe or not.

Camelo - $$$$$ is the only reason why he stayed in NY. if he was going for the ring, he would have chosen bulls, Mavs, Rockets or Even Lakers will have better chance than NY this year. When he is out of current contract in 5 years, he will be out of his prime and probably still be ringless... all for $$$.
