    Yeah. That's a lot for anyone to try to deal with much less having to do it with the world watching.

    There's kids involved in this one and content that's prime for Maury Povich, so that adds a whole other level to the thing.

    What the heck has happened to Wiggins? I went out and looked for the info online and nobody is talking. Hints of something terrible to his family, yet his GF posted pictures of their kids on Instagram and they look OK. Hmmmmm, anyone know anything?

    Glad it’s not widespread in the media. That’s something I’d want kept private for them just as an empathetic human being.

    The unfortunate part of this all is it's the child that suffers.

    luka's out tonight. finally the lakers catch a break with all these star players always coming back from injury to play them

    kyrie should play after missing the last 3 games and will probably drop 50 because the lakers didn't trade for im

    Our new center!

    Stolen from facebook (Mamba Basketball was who posted it)

    This is a tribute to who made this. So many good lines like Chris Paul's ability to win a ring or Shaq's build

    yeah, i was glad i had to dig hard (well, google it specifically) to get that info and proud of gs's organization to not be leaking it out left and right. we're all trying to live our lives, and wiggins has never made his off-court life part of his "brand" or whatever.

    you just never know what's happening in other people's lives, which is something to keep in mind in all dealings.

    I feel sick watching what just happened to Anthony Edwards. I hope this isn't as bad as it seemed. That kid has everything needed to be next up.

    i watched it and didn't think it looked that bad, tbh. i've definitely done that, and it hurts, but he'll recover within a month or sooner would be my guess. as we've seen, ankles can be tricky, but usually they aren't season/career threatening.

    We’re all frustrated with AD but he’s not getting traded, so we need to keep tinkering with the roster with him in mind. After going back and forth on the whole AD at the 4 or 5 for the last few years, I think he needs to at least start games at the 4. If nothing else, I think it has a positive impact on his night-to-night energy level.

    As such, I’d like to see us start Bamba at the 5 to slot everyone up a position and then sign another big rather than resigning Brown. Naz Reid would be great but I’m not sure he’ll be available for the taxpayer MLE.

    They got the head wrong on this “character.” It should be Westbrick’s with the line pointing to it saying “Westbrick’s Brain.”

    We are not spending 10mil + any sort of MLE in the backup center. I agree in having an extra body but we would be lucky if we get even a vet min. It would come at the cost of Gabriel I assume. It's a position the FO doesn't seem interested in stacking up, otherwise we would have Huff or even a 10-day trial on that route
