And I didn't even bring up the Lakers in that post. You're the king of Straw Man shit. I was bringing up the idea of AD leaving Boston (if he gets traded there) in 2020. It could be anywhere. Hell, it could be to your Knicks. But you had to take another completely unprovoked swipe at LeBron.

Headache I'll play you one on one in basketball, first to ten for 50 bucks.

"completely unprovoked"

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

What does that mean, Dave?

 

[DaveC]

it means i don't think it was "completely unprovoked". lebron is well known to be a dipshit to work with.

great player, wonderful guy off the court, terrible teammate.

The National - Trouble Will Find me would have to be in there.

Coupled with the Rich Paul connection and all the chatter recently that Davis wants to go to the Lakers, its not a big leap to infer if Davis jumps ship in free agency in 2020 Lakers are most likely destination.

Really?

Really?

I know. It’s been pretty underrated around here.

You're assuming the Lakers would still have the cap space in 2020. They have one max slot this summer. They'd have to completely punt on 2019 FA, not make any offers to Kawhi, Durant, whoever, in order to have the room in 2020. If they sign any big FA in 2019, they're capped out in 2020. And even if they do punt and hold on to the space, they'd have to renounce Ingram(because that's when he's getting paid and his cap hold is much bigger than his previous salary).

There are always workarounds to the cap issue.

I'm watching the Lakers/Celts game right now. The Lakers...do not look good.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Hahaha and they still beat the Celtics in Boston. Fuck the Celtics.

 

[rdy4thdl]

Good loss 4 the raps.....

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I'll be in Chicago in May. Bring your debit card.

I’ve been lobbying for a one on one for over six months now.

And I’m right down the road.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

So bring your debit card too

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I’ll beat you contactless.

Congratulations to the 76ers for acquiring two draft picks and a bench player for their expensive Guy Who Does Not Play Basketball.

The Marc Gasol trade is fascinating to me. The Eastern Conference playoffs are setting up to be very exciting.

Fuck everybody that's not the Bulls or Lakers.

Fuck Donald Trump.

 

[Hewson]

But Donald Trump loves the Lakers.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Fuck him anyway, Oompa Loompa lookin ass bitch

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Maybe LeBron will ask to be traded to New Orleans in the off-season.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Man those Hawks powder blue unis are sweet, aren't they GAF?

 

[Hewson]

They look like the Clippers (which is appropriate as that's the real basketball team in LA)

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I love basketball

i like how pascal siakam drops 44 points and the next morning ESPN has a stories about joel embiid jumping over regina king, dwyane wade and dirk nowitzki swapping jerseys, and scottie pippen's opinion of lebron with precisely zero mention of siakam or the raptors anywhere on their NBA section.
