    Maybe the simplest explanation is the most accurate explanation for the Golden State veterans sitting tonight.

    Rather than expend energy trying to beat OKC tonight.........just concede and be rested for the game against the Jazz.

    Buzelis gets slapped in the face in clear view of the female ref and she doesn't call the foul on Suggs.

    lmao Luka has 20 free throw attempts with 5 minutes left in this game. Lakers are such frauds getting boosted.

    The ATL situation is acute. They are soooooo much better without Trae. What's the move there? Not sure he has much of a market.... But they can't just John Wall him, can they?

    From what you can gather, the Owner likes him, and major reason he is still there.

    He shouldn't play another game for them. Hawks should give Young away for next to nothing (if another team would take him).

    DB not trolling LeBron 3-4 times a year would be a tragic loss for NBA fandom.

    Rui disappears at times, but I don't think he's been bad for the Lakers. This is a culture move.

    What is the LAL lineup if the trade goes through?

    This?

    Doncic
    Reaves
    LeBron
    Brooks
    Ayton

    Brooks will take the toughest defensive assignment since that isn't what Doncic, Reaves and LeBron are there for? Or is Brooks the 6th Man?

    Lakers should throw in LeBron James to sweeten the pot.

    I am looking on Lakersground and haven't found any discussion of it yet.

    I just looked at the Phoenix Forum on RealGM and there isn't any discussion of it there either.

    So Curry, Butler, and Draymond all played tonight against the Jazz after sitting out last night's national TV game at home. Why did the Warriors not get fined 100K like the Cavs did earlier this season when they sat out Mitchell and Mobley? I called them getting preferential treatment and it played out exactly like I thought. Everything about the NBA is infuriating.
