    1) these are your personal opinions not facts
    2) you don't need to state your opinions in 50 different posts a day

    The idea on LA helping Dwight get to GS got me thinking .... Does LA operate like most of the other teams in the league or do they have a really different mindset? I thought they were essentially printing their own money with the TV contract out there. If Dwight is determined to leave LA, and is crazy enough to pick a team that afterwards is less of a threat to LA than Houston would be .... wouldn't LA at least consider going that route instead of letting Houston sign him outright and creating a team that LA knows they can't beat for the next 3-5 years?

    The problem??.....the spurs would have to cough up $50+ million for a non-playoff team, and only get one asset in return (Klay or Barnes). Makes no sense from a business or basketball perspective.

    So you think LA would be willing to pay repeater tax to be playoff fodder and help work themselves out of the wiggins and 2014 FA sweepstakes?

    I don't care really. Homers will be homers. Say one remotely bad thing about a team and people turn on you, whether it's stating the facts about Thomas Robinson's performance when compared to other rookies his age or observing that the Warriors have an attractive team. Internet sports fans. Meh.

    ppl need to read. ppl are arguing two different things. the lakers in thekad's proposal wouldn't be taking any salary back. so all these ppl posting that the lakers would pay tax for bogut's contract is WRONG, because bogut/rush would be going elsewhere.

    but it's all pointless because lakers aren't gonna be interested in some garbage firsts to help the warriors become the best in the west.

    OH WAIT

    Bucks didn't have any cap space when that trade was completed. Monta Ellis has a $16 million cap hold. JJ Redick had a $9 million cap hold - that's how he was signed and traded.

    OH WAIT. Oh wait.

    Warriors looked good for 1 month. And they are lead by a star who is always a health scare with his glass ankles.

    Someone had to step up with DD toning it down. Nature abhors a vacuum and all that.

    Okay I can't go through the last 40 pages i've missed. Is there any real updates other than the turn off report from Chris Broussard?

    I'd take Harden over Curry solely due to Curry's ankles. Paper-mache.

    Some dude posted a pic of his mom with DH in Aspen.

    I realize how filthy that sounds, but it's not like that.

    Nothing except trolls trolling, and don't hold your breath on that changing tomorrow. Dwight is milking this for all it's worth.

    Did Dwight disclose where he was going?
