    Zip about wants to go somewhere to win a ring or any of the usual stuff that's "claimed". What a tool. Who did he think was going to be the main attraction(s) in Brooklyn on paper before it all went to s***? Didn't he and Russ butt heads big time in their Houston reunion?

    Looking around the league, where would he be a clear #1 at this stage?

    Charlotte, SA, Portland (if Dame goes for parts)? That it?

    In Buha's latest article on AR had the rumor buried on it...

    Bron isn't going to let that Kyrie thing go, is he? With how well the team did, it's alarming that he would still be pushing that. What's more alarming is there's some in the FO with a similar belief. Just stop.

    And Trae? No thank you. He's a great shooter but that's it. He has had issues with coaches, his team's #2 option, the concept of defense. I like how much Kobe means to him, the Bryants are fans of Trae, and i'd welcome him at a later, cheaper stage of his career. He's a shooter, so he'll be around awhile. But I'm not interested in him until he is down to around $25m and we're probably a decade away from that. For $40m+, f*** no.

    Tatum isn't going to be happy on a losing franchise. That win total is about to take a hit.

    young and reaves is an interesting backcourt, imo, but...you better have serious defenders 3-5.

    LeBron has proven that he’s the worst GM the Lakers have ever had.

    Superstars are generally bad at trades and coaching hires. That's why you need a strong empowered front office to keep the megalomania in check. Maybe one exception was Magic firing coach Westhead which lead to Pat Riley, but usually those things end up badly.

    Oh, we had some weak GMs. Kobe was pretty bad himself, unfortunately. Makes you wonder why so many great players don't understand what the team really needs.
