    It’s concerning that there are so many calf’s injuries in the league. Some of these guys had calf injuries in the past and some are Achilles



    Wemby

    Gianiss

    AD

    Luka

    Lillard

    Tatum

    Halliburton

    Jalen Johnson

    Durant

    the league has to slow the f***ing game down. They are obsessed with points bring back some form of the hand check.

    and get this tempo under control.

    Kerry Kittles used to say the pace of the league is too fast. And that more players will get hurt. He was right.

    I think Herb can be had for less. He is having a terrible season. Ellis and DJJ too.

    Yep, it is out of control. If the NBA doesn't fix this soon, the fans will start walking away.

    I think the Clippers are going to either acquire Zach Lavine or Demar Derozan. One of those guys will be traded to the Clippers. That’s why this move had to be made. Wouldn’t surprise me if Chris Paul ended up in Sacramento. That would be so Kings.

    Lavine had 2 points tonight in 19 minutes. His a** is getting shipped out don’t tell me Zach Lavine can’t get more than 2 points. s*** is sus as f***.

    Zach or Derozan can be on their way to Milwaukee also for a last ditch to appease Gianiss. I know Sac will be a player.

    maybe we can come up with one of those Lakers days and end up with Herbert Jones and Kyren Lewis.

    There will be some moves coming up soon. I know players can’t be moved until December 15th but I see some happening for sure.

    Clippers are going to be desperate to get into no man’s land to not have to give that lottery pick to OKC.

    How terrible a person you have to be, for your former team to cut you on your farewell tour.

    If you're Giannis, do you want to come to the West? I'd want to pull a Lebron (circa 2010's) where I build a super team in the east and hang there for 5 years while avoiding OKC, Lakers, Nuggets, Spurs, etc. Kat for Giannis works. NY throws in some picks and/or swaps... Knicks are in business.

    It's everything. Even a lot of their shoes are contributing to this.

    I believe the pick this year is unprotected. OKC also gets to swap picks with them next year.

    Awful trade.

    I think the Spurs talk is just talk. I expect him to be a Knick absent some crazy turn of events.

    It feels to me if he goes to NY, they have to find a 3rd team. Who out there is a vet team that needs KAT but also has young players + picks to contribute. Because a 30 y.o. moody KAT isn't doing a rebuilding bucks any good.

    Boston comes to mind But rarely do you see 3 eastern teams trade together and KAT'S $ makes that damn near impossible.

    The major change Lakers management need to make is through his roster construction and coach choice .

    Lakers need to understand defense and rebounding win championships .

    Giannis or no Giannis
