    How hard is it to get a ride from uber? Or call a cab? Or get a friend? Or hire a driver?

    Throw this idiot in jail before he hurts somebody.

    Precisely why I don't like Lawson. He's immature and frankly he's not smart. Two DUIs in the space of a year? Please take the guy's license away. If the Nuggets had integrity, they'd suspend him for this.

    Going back to being the Denver thuggets?

    They need to trade everyone on that roster before they rub off on Mudiay.

    Guarantee Karl would still take him and still drink him under the table.

    He has made $30M in contracted salary; hire a damn driver. How many people would line up to be at Lawson's beck and call 24/7 for 100 grand a year?

    I know nothing of full-time private driver rates, but I'd be shocked if it was even THAT much.

    What the hell ya doing Ty? You're a millionaire.

    Looks like you're right. 75K seems optimistic for most jobs, but this is a man's life - pay up, Ty.

    Will Mitch make it happen? He does love his Tar Heels.

    So Mitch can flip it to a trade for Boogie Cousins since it's been reported a year ago and recently that George Karl is willing to give up Cousins for Ty Lawson. Since Karl wants a reunion with Lawson that bad, why not do it? :clap:

    Keep Ty away from our guards. Do a three team trade if you really want boogie. This screams of "let's add Lakers name for click bait".

    Why would they get Ty Lawson when they have Rondo though.

    Don't want Lawson near our guys. What kind of professional basketball player posts a video of him smoking Hookah and saying he's going to Sacramento. I didn't even watch it because the whole thing sounded stupid and childish. Idiot.

    What could we even offer at this point? If we don't include Hibbert, I don't think it's possible. That makes me very happy, because no way in hell do I want Lawson on this team.

    i think there was some rumor that he might get waived?

    what makes me sad is that Mudiay's and Russell's relative performance in summer league is what makes this story seem plausible.

    still, I doubt the lakers are actually involved. I also doubt Detroit is involved. morey's been waiting all summer for Lawson's price to go down, and Lawson just did it for him.
