    And bring back Spero please. And put Billy Mac at lead anchor on Spectrum SN.

    Preference would be Spero and Thompson doing the simulcast. Put forehead back on the sideline. He was good there.

    We get fined because a bunch of prissy, jealous owners go crying to Adam Silver that we are cheating.

    Billy Mac is so trashy....he is just really garbage. I turn the TV sometimes off because I get tired of his repetitive idiotic expressions....

    "(insert name) for threee......in there...."

    just horrible....HORRIBLE to listen to his fruity voice...I much much prefer Joel Meyers...and I HATE Meyers lol.

    No he's not trash. Like a comfortable old slipper now. Of course would rather have had Spiro. But IMO don't get the hate on him and especially on Stu from some.

    I never got the feel that Spero was a Laker fan. His vibe to me was ehh. He was good as play by play but I preferred the Joel Mychal Thompson combo for radio. Billy Mac I think is doing OK, he did call the 81 game. He's more of a host, and he's a natural at that. As a play by play, he has better chemistry with Stu who seemed to butt heads with Joel. I think Billy Mac has grown into his role fine. I don't get the hate at all.

    Basically the most likely targets play the same position as our up and coming guys.

    I’m not sure I’d feel the need to keep rubbing their noses in that. Not sure what to make of that.

    after this season with or without another max guy we need to stop with the multiple 1yr deal guys, these crazy amts of turn over of the roster can't be good for the team long term. These "vets" IMO aren't as vested as they could be if they knew long term they have a future here.

    I know some here despise Plaschke and I have mocked him many times over the years but that doesn't mean he can't be right on in some articles. I agree pretty much with all of this. If Magic was going to blow his top at Luke, and he surely knew he was before calling him into his office, then find a better place to do it so it is in private and not within earshot of anyone in the hallway or building depending on how loud. If he's got someone else in the room then damn well better make sure they don't leak this internal **** to the press. But with the volume of his tirade who knows who could have heard it and leaked it. But if that was not an intentional leak on FO's part then they better get their **** together and make it understood it's a fireable offense to do that. And that's just a portion of what I agree with in here.

    So some of y'all took a couple sauces from Pincus's BI hit piece as league wide condemnation of dude's trade value.

    Alright, here are a couple sauces speaking on Giannis:

    Yet I assume those same folks that believe BI has no value within the league (although Shams says otherwise) will just look at what these sauces said as pure speculation... different strokes for different folks.

    Anyways, I decided to put this in the Magic thread, cause when this story gets aggregated, expect another tampering fine aimed at Magic's aka "NBA Official"'s head.

    Giannis is amazing.

    With that said...every NBA player with a pulse will be attached to the Lakers by every attention **** out there to generate clicks.

    For every player Lakers are mentioned not only as interested by the landing spot..lol.

    Durant, Davis, Kawhi, George, Giannis, Kemba, Wall, Beal, Lillard, Klay Thompson, Westbrook, Cousins etc.

    I'll believe it when I see it. LA is amazing and the Lakers are an amazing brand so naturally every NBA player with a brain should want to be enjoying LA rather than Milwaukee or NO. As a multi-millionaire you can't enjoy life anywhere as good as you can in LA and the Lakers provide a huge platform too for business opportunities.

    With that said, history has proven that its harder to get people to leave their environment, house, friends etc. and just move because of the sun, the girls and the hollywood glitz. On top, often times other teams can offer more cash.

    30+ Million...thats serious money.

    It's the same as the Yankees in baseball. Everyone is attached whether it makes sense or not.
