It’s not this post in particular that draws my response, but rather a knowledge of what you said in the past.... I would think a guy with the supposed leadership skills of AJ would be able to lead 2s against 2s, or even 3s against 3s. He should just have that “It” factor you love to cite. The grass isn’t always greener, which leads me to my main objective this season, #Free18

7) Cincinnati 5) Seattle 3) Dallas 2) LA Rams 1) Arizona TB) LA Rams.

Any time I hear Sarah McLachlan’s angelic voice I know it’s time to shut it down.

Luol Deng bought out Who’s eating up the newly-aquired cap space? Who do the Lakers give up to get Jimmy Buckets? I’m afraid it’s Lonzo+ and I love the idea of Lonzo and Bron on the same team.

A late-August Woj bomb indicates Ryan Anderson and De’Anthony Melton are moving to Phoenix in exchange for Marquese Chriss and the oft-humiliated Brandon Knight. Houston obviously needed someone to spell CP3 in Patrick Beverly’s absence, and Chriss has the potential to be a stud alongside Capela in the Rockets’ front court. Thoughts?

X-tremely X-cited for this X-ceptional young hooper! Looking forward to seeing his growth as a player and person, and how he makes the most of his X-periences in his senior year! Congrats!

One of those players on one of those teams I didn’t truly appreciate until the end of their run. Gonna miss watching him and the Spurs as a whole as I’ve known them my whole life. The dunk he had on Yao might be the only time during their run where a Spurs player showed much, of any ego.

I’ll drink to that! As long as you’re buying...

Unless this is a raise at work or picking up a second job or something where I feel like I earned the money, I’m playing the lotto.

Let me preface this by saying I do enjoy it, but I don’t get the obsession with bacon. It ranks below chicken, beef, and fish for me, and do we really have to put it on everything?

Lonzo and Rondo will both average 10apg and LeBron will score his age. This season is just for fun. The process starts when Klay comes to town.

What about keepers acquired via trade? Does the round they were drafted matter?

Wish Taj nothing but the best. Really nice player. I just hope Newport focuses on who they still have instead of who they lost.

TIL. I. DIE.

The thought never occurred to me that ‘Gelo or ‘Melo really wanted to hoop for a living. Lonzo and LaVar put them in a position where they’ll have the opportunities (and pressure) to acquiesce to Papa Bear’s wishes, but I think they both find different outlets. If their name is on it, people will check it out. But the real issue around the whole Big Baller Brand comes down to the expectations placed on high school and college kids. We’re acting like if they don’t play in the NBA they’ve failed and that’s just not the reality. Here’s a list of siblings who have played in the NBA. You’ll notice it’s rather short, though admittedly longer than I expected.

He makes the series more competitive than George Hill or Jordan Clarkson, but he ain’t enough. You’re right about that.

Chauncey said, “I know Durant is the common one, but...”

Almost 40% on almost two attempts.

I gotta believe we’re in Kevin Knox territory here with NY and Philadelphia. Bagley draws the KD comparisons, but Knox’s game is more similar IMO.

Philly is loaded with picks and is ready to contend now. No disrespect to JJ, but they don’t have an experienced guy who can make a difference when the youngsters are off in the playoffs, and they aren’t finding one with the tenth pick. Kawhi fills that void and then a little.

The narrative is that SA is the other team besides LA who liked Kuzma. Still shocking?

Does Kawhi qualify LA?

He needs more helpside!

More than anything, I want to see LeBron and Russ on the same team taking thinly veiled shots at KD and GS like it’s 2016. Nobody does petty like those two. Alternatively, I’d like to see LeBron and KD get together and take a team back to Seattle. I would settle for the two of them just playing on the same team for three seasons.

But it’s his fault! ... Big fan of LeBron. He didn’t want any of KD tonight.
