    Pretty sure it's the lead story in the most recent BigBum Insider Newsletter.

    The Lakers are losing more than who they're trading in this trade. I think Lebron/Lakers are doing this because he doesn't want Melo to go out like that, but it's gonna come at a cost. Melo was worth the sign in exchange for his elite friendships. Rockets get something for nothing, and the Lakers will somehow supernaturally get worse after this trade.

    If it’s for Kuzma I would be stunned. More than likely it’s for Zubac or someone at the end of their bench. I wonder if it will be a package deal. If we could move Melo, Gordon/Knight for a package of KCP and Zubac and maybe Hart, that would be nice. If we could somehow get Kuzma that would be even better. I’d much rather move Knight but if it takes Gordon to get Kuzma, I’d be fine with that. I love his game.

    They were ok to trade Pope and a 2nd rounder for Ariza, no way in hell they trade Kuzma or Hart for Melo, we're lucky if they give us Lance or Zubac lol

    there's also no way they're taking Melo, have you seen how those guys play? he's a worse fit there than he was with Houston

    I believe it’s a done deal as well. Lakers just don’t want to trade for him.
    Zubac will get it done; But he has a PER of just over 14.
    JaVale MeGee will get it done; But he has a PER over 21

    Melo stands at just over 11 PER.

    LeBron will use Melo correctly by letting him post up. Neither Kuzma or Ingram offer that skill set and LeBron
    doesn’t want to work that hard.....LeBron wants to cut to the rim and let Melo lob it to him out of the post ups.

    I thought TMZ sports is the only reliable on how many men that Khloe had been slept with or currently sleeping with.

    Did not see this coming. (no pun intended)

    GGGGGRRRRrrrrrrrr
    Makes for a great narrative
    cut by the rockets . . . .. take them down in the playoffs. . .. .
    esp considering the Lakers already floating the "Please allow us to hack Harden" narrative
