    Whoops my bad thanks for correcting me. But yeah I had a thing for her too lolz.

    IMO, they probably did have a little low key affair but it just went EXTREMELY wrong but I'm not saying any of my opinion is possibly true. Just from the report I read in what she described.

    Doesn't bother me. He's not going anywhere unless the team crashes and burns and if that happens, he deserves to leave. Look at how happy he is right now playing with his best friends in Los Angeles and competing. This is everything he's wanted.

    I’m fine with it. AD is not going to make his decision on whether he stays or leaves on a answer he gives in July. I’d rather he focus on the now and try to avoid all the hoopla that comes with free Agency until it’s upon us. You only have to look at Kyrie to see how answers can change during the season. I think it’s better for the locker room to.

    Dwight also made some other questionable decisions that we will not go into again...

    Dwight wasn't playing with his best friends and I'm pretty sure history has proven that Dwight made awful decisions. AD is going to make everyone forget anything about Dwight being a Laker. s*** I forgot until you just said that.

    I think Davis should have said he is "ready" to be here long term.

    I think this way he could have ended every speculation that will be going rampant the next few months.

    I don't expect Klutch to even entertain Davis going elsewhere, so I'm not worried at all. I just don't understand why he didn't just put an end to the speculation.

    I could see Boogie punching him during practice with all that fake smiling and back stabbing, probably run around telling mgmt he should be starting as he's better than Boogie/Mcgee lol

    You know, I actually wanted to write something similar about him and Boogie.

    Was it a conscious decision you made this off season to become this guy?

    Not concerned at all. First, look what Rich Paul said before the trade:

    Take LeBron off the Lakers. Are the Lakers not a great destination for an arguably top-two player that went to Kentucky and won a national championship, signed with Nike? For a team that’s had centers from George Mikan to Wilt Chamberlain to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to Shaq? So now, when you add LeBron, that’s what? The cherry on top. LeBron’s 34 years old. Anthony Davis is 26. So when LeBron’s done playing, the Anthony Davis trade is still rolling. What better place to do it than L.A.?

    Second, Dwight was a mental midget. He was known for acting like a baby and farting up the locker room. He was more concerned with arm sleeves than free throws. But even if you assume, for purposes of this argument, that we would have been better of keeping him than letting him walk for nothing, look at what he walked away from. The 2013 season was the one where Mike "Bazooka Joe" Brown got fired 5 game into the season and replaced by Pringles. In other words, we replaced the worst coach in the league with the third worst coach in the league (the second worst would soon follow). Nash broke his leg in game 2, and the Good Doctor up and died in the middle of the season. And that was before Kobe's brilliant career effectively came to an end right before the playoffs with his Achilles rupture. That's not a hard situation to leave.

    AD is smart. He gets it. He's thrilled to be here. And unlike Dwight who clashed with Kobe on day one (because God f****** forbid Dwight have to play with someone who actually gives a s*** about winning), AD is here with one of his best friends, and a real chance at a title. I would be shocked, truly shocked, if he didn't opt out and sign a 5-year max.

    Guys (and gals), we are so insanely lucky to have this guy going forward. Don't waste your brain cells worrying about his future here. Embrace it. Celebrate it. ENJOY IT.

    He's smart, one year at a time until he knows what's up.

    I realize, all the excitement of Free Agency has cooled off, and all, but we still want to stay somewhere in the vicinity of on topic. The last page of the AD page (I repeat, the AD page!) is filled with teen aged male hormone junk posts. Let's get back on topic or I'll just start hitting the Delete Post button.
