“As a die hard laker fan, couldn’t be happier about George not signing.”

Cousins would be intriguing, though the record of big men returning from Achilles injuries is not good. Plus, Cousins has never been known for his conditioning, though his last chance at a big contract might be a big incentive.

The Lakers’ best option is to trade for Kawahi (price just went up with PG staying), sign…

Disagree. I think the Lakers would be happy to pass on a Kawhi who just sat out an entire year, essentially, especially one who fears he was misdiagnosed by the Spurs and actually has a degenerative thigh injury. I think Lebron and/or PG are already in the bag for them, and if they can bring in Kawhi for a reasonable…

What leverage does SA have? They have a disgruntled star that can leave in 2019 as a FA, they have a ton of money wrapped up in Gasol, Mills, Aldridge and now Green has opted-in making it nearly impossible to clear the cap space to sign a max free agent out right. How does that add up to a strong bargaining position?

Lakers have a fire sale on young talent to get all three megastars, only retaining Ball, who never develops a passable jump shot. Kawhi’s injury problems turn out to be legitimate and he plays 30-ish games next season. LeBron’s mileage finally catches up with him the moment he puts on the purple and gold. George plays…

Fortunately for the Knicks, Enes Kanter opting in will act as a nice chastity belt this year.

They should ask for 4 first rounders and that the Lakers sign Lonzo LiAngelo to a 25 year contract.

Potential hot take: I don’t think Paul George compliments LeBron as much as other people think he will, and I think for the money they spend on him, they’d be better off loading up on D&3 players or rim protectors who can grab rebounds. I’ll grant you, they’ll still be very good, I just think they’d be better going…

If I were San Antonio, I’d gin up up as much interest among Boston/Philly to raise the asking price. I’d demand Ingram, Josh Hart, and 8 straight years of SA-optional 1st rounder swaps starting in 2020 to get around the Stepien Rule and to use if/when LeBron leaves/gets old.

I’d leave Lonzo and Lavar with the Lakers…

I haven’t witnessed a more pathetic and transparent attempt to convince the public that Winston is good in decades.

There is the allegation that Winston grabbed the driver’s crotch

“Show ne [sic] da boobies,”

Easily remedied:

“I apologize that she took offense.”

So Vegas will never get Kyrie’s money on the gravity bet?

I’d give anything to read his first draft of the “I’m innocent” PR statement

So you’re saying they were asking for it?

I’m not sure it would be a good PR move for Uber to have a known sexual predator giving rides to unwitting customers. 

Part of being an NFL quarterback, starting or not, is being a leader on AND off the field.

Vegas doesn’t take odds on whether gravity exists, they won’t take odds on whether Winston is a rapist.
