he's going to the most storied franchise in the nba but i do kinda think he'll wait a year and then take russ to the lakers w/ him.
watching the 90s magic 30 for 30, i'd forgotten young shaq, just a force of nature.

i dont see kd on the lakers, russ prob tho

^just watched this too, I did not forget what an unbelievable force young Shaq was but I did forget how astoundingly shook nick Anderson was (and how screwed up he was about free throws forever!) and how quickly Shaq went from Orlando to la

kd, even kd and rwb together, to the lakers makes no sense at all to me. It's a step backwards to a poorly run franchise that will take years to compete, in a conference where you've got to beat the warriors and spurs.

also feel like players have become more aware of how bad it looks to run to a prestige franchise/team of mercenaries after the decision and to a lesser extent the are we having fun yet lakers and the melo knicks, flip side of the is prob a greater awareness of the value of a quality organization

obvs thats gonna vary depending on the individual player but feel like there has been a shift
yeah it's not like these guys don't know the same stuff we know.
also just don't get the sense that kd wants anything at all to do with russ whatsoever, but that could be my own personal bias against knuckleheads.

yeah lakers are not getting the good FA's for years.

feel like there are the "join a superteam" options (gsw and sas), then there are the "go to the east and maybe go to the finals a few times" options (mia and bos) and then there's the "i'm risk averse and this is all that i have ever known" option which is okc. there is no "join a rebuilding team during the last few years of my prime" option.

pros/consgswpros: could join greatest team ever, win titles for yearscons: would be second fiddle to curry, never be known as "the guy", could disrupt the chemistry of the dubs
saspros: best coach in the game, tons of talent at many age levels and positions, best tacos, best fans, close to UT, best tacos, would become greatest team of all time, greatest tacoscons:
bospros: would be the dude, would be worshiped cons: angry white ppl
miapros: fans dont care, no pressure, pat riley, not that far away from contention if he joinscons: looks like he's copying lebron careerwise, looks hella lame
okcpros: already your team, make hella moneycons: already never gonna win a title and your sidekick might leave and even if he stays hes gonna shoot too much

if the nets pick lands in the top two (~35% iirc) theyre gonna have pa lot of options, regardless its in the top six so it has good value even if they lose the lottery

Earvin Magic JohnsonVerified account@MagicJohnsonLaker Nation: The Lakers should call LeBron James agent. We know he's going stay in CLE but they should go after him just in case he leaves.

Durant was not in the mood to discuss his feelings after the blowout loss.
"I'm not telling you," Durant said when asked if he was mad or frustrated by the loss. "... Cause it's over with. Move on. We'll just move past it and figure out what we need to do better. No crazy emotions. It's not like we're upset, screaming at each other in the locker room after the game. That's not going to make things better

nah jk that's from last year's offseason
He will be tempted to leave the Thunder to chase a ring, as LeBron did back in 2010. He could potentially join the Cavs.
no he will not

i think if you shop a player into a new uni and it doesn't come true you should have to pay some kind of fine
