    He certainly had a good season last year and the Grizzlies were a live wire in the playoffs. But what do you make of his team playing so well without him? I think moving forward he is on the trajectory for sure.

    So would I, Butler has shown another gear whenever it's mattered. At the end of the day he is in my top 10 right now.

    What I would give to see Durant's a$$ sent to Canada.

    too much hate for the Clippers, Kawhi was putting up a 30ppg playoffs on almost 60% shooting when he got injured. That's unreal for a wing.

    This "third team" s*** is just nonsense.

    1) If you want any chance of getting a 1st rounder along with Westbrook, you make the Irving/Curry trade- we'll ask Irving to waive his 5.5 million trade kicker and you probably can buy out RW and save another 5-10 million. Your cap doesn't move hardly any and you save upwards of 15 million.

    2) Want more cap savings, drop the 1st round ask, we will take on Harris and the ankle instead of Curry and save you 8.5 million on your cap, still have Irving waive his trade kicker and you could save 20-25 if you want to buyout RW. If you hurry, we may still let you have a 1st rounder if you take Nunn.

    3) Don't like those two straight up deals, find a different team willing to give you a 1st or have him get rid of his trade kicker (as well as Irving be happy to show up to) to work with or live with him for a single year- or buy him out, save 5-10 million and we will sign him for the minimum....

    1,2 or 3....stop with the insane "third team"...

    You better hope he doesn't go to Canada with a title contender. Lakers would have to play 3 to 4 games without Kyrie with those Trudeau led socialist scumbags.

    I have a CCW. I can protect people around me if something like that were to start happening.

    That’s cool but you and your elite shooting can’t be everywhere. Unless of course you think we should train our kids to be sharpshooters so they can fend off armed attacks at their schools.

    I always find it hilarious the criticism of Canada and other countries that don’t have the unique problems we have here.

    Let's keep things on basketball only without getting into politics. Canada not allowing unvaxxed is OK to talk about. The politics of the decision surrounding it are not. And obviously mass shootings are not basketball related...unless we're talking about Westbrook bricking shots en masse.

    I always find it hilarious people who compare countries with 1/10th of the population with the US....

    Hell, we have a state that has more people living in it than Canada...

    Second post now. No more politics. Shooting conversations will be limited to the Lakers lack thereof.

    For an on topic reference to Canada… I have been camping in the Canadian Rockies for the past 5 days with limited internet access until now… I am very disappointed to learn that Kyrie isn’t a Laker yet.
