    He soooo not ready, he would have made Austin Rivers look like MJ.

    there is a reason he went to a football school to play Basketball. UCLA was never going to put up with his celebrity status

    Isn't there a lot of bad blood btw VC and the Raptors because he literally tanked to force a trade to the Nets?

    Vince Carter one of those guys who didn't fully live up to his potential. Didn't have Kobe/Jordan's drive.

    Zubac knows all his Balkan tricks (so does Jusuf, obviously), but... that ship has sailed. Hey, we can always sign Draymond, you know. :p

    LOLOL you stating they would not have wanted Bronny. Good head on his shoulders, not the BIG head and they freaking wanted all the Ball brothers with the baggage that came with their father second guessing every f******* coach’s decisions with regard to them in the papers and while still a whack celebrity on sports TV all the way up to the Lakers.

    yeah, they still hold a grudge against him for whatever reason. thought the title would be the end of that, but nope

    they'll eventually retire his #, but i think they're waiting for derozan/lowry to retire so they can retire their #s first

    It’s just odd LeBron picking USC over UCLA. I am sure his celebrity status had something to do with it .

    LOL Magic thought Lonzo was HIM. But I did recall UCLA types here waxing poetic about how the offense there ran when he was in the game … so yeah I trusted them a lot.

    No it didn’t James most certainly figured either / or both more opportunity to play as a one and done plus maybe the family liked the coach better.

    UCLA has absolute superiority over USC at Basketball, not even close, but at USC more celebratory and spotlight and stuff .I guess he wanted to party with snoop dog at football games

    Something tells me if Zubac played Jokic this year, that PPP is going way up. Jokic has special touch at the rim and he was making those wild contested shots over Gobert last night like he did last year vs. AD.

    Having the best/all time great in the NBA gives you extra margins and reduces the weaknesses of the other players.

    One more thing we don’t agree on . I thought Magic wasted our pick.

    Well, I'm not sure if Bronny will amount to anything, but yeah, seems at least realistic about what type of player he can become and said he never thought about playing with his dad.

    I’m not sure anyone has ever had an easier path than this Boston team

    yeah, it's wild. i guess they've been knocking on the door for years. but to have the door just fall over is sorta lame.
