    lol, every free agent is always going to the Lakers.

    No one knows for sure. It's a safe bet to pick a team and ride with it and if it changes say whoops things change.

    At worst they have a 33% chance.

    We won't know until we know.

    There has been zero buzz about the Clippers or the Raptors. It’s been all Lakers. Sure...sometimes those reports are wrong, but given that it’s been pretty much 100% pointing to the Lakers, I’d say it’s a done deal barring a true miracle.

    What is pointing to the Lakers? A talk between his people and Magic?

    You have some good ideas. I’m not sure how doable they are, certainly not under Silver, who’s corrupt as all get out, IMO, but something needs to be done. The league is broken, most of the fan base that follow particular teams that aren’t in California are getting really pissed off at the manipulations going on, the way refs are assigned in the playoffs, the obvious media promotion from sources with close ties to the league (ESPN) pushing elite players to certain teams. It’s certainly happening here, and we can’t be alone.

    I used to laugh at an old friend of mine who said all the time with disgust, “It’s rigged!” I don’t out and out agree with him, not yet, but I don’t laugh at him so much anymore.

    it's seriously all BS until it's done. Dwight Howard was on a flight to Houston that he made turn around because he changed his mind and chose the Lakers.

    If you report about the Lakers you become viral ,the centre of attention and tens thousands of likes on social media, the clippers dont even have a thousand fans put together.

    I'm not doubting something fishy IS going on with Paul and his agency. However we already have Paul doing everything possible to funnel Davis to the Lakers. He also cannot say he is representing his clients best interest as the trade kicker was waived all so the Lakers could get another max free agent. We also have another Klutch client, J.R, Smith likely going to the Lakers......... the smoke is already there.

    Those are all good ideas.

    Another one that I remember hearing floated was to extend the contracts of lottery picks, but increase their base salary a great deal. The idea being that teams would have lottery picks for 3-4 years longer, with mutual options but the amount of money in those later years would be higher.

    Hahaha I'm told....sources say. Let me start tweeting something similar and see if it gets picked up. By the way, just like flexibility and cap space cannot play basketball, I'm pretty sure sources cannot talk.

    Yeah but JR if didn't agree to change the deadline would be headed to china. He's a washed up vet and a lockeroom cancer. Wherever he goes, noone will bat an eye. He had been available for a year now and no team wanted him.

    It's much different than a sought after FA in his prime, taking the vet minimum.

    Yep lol.

    But the guy tweeted about Vuc and the Magic having a deal an hour before Stein did and other stuff which was on point so, he has definitely some connections,

    What a clown.
    In fact how old is this kid? Because he looks like 12. I don't want to be insulting a child.

    He's about 21 and apparently is a law student at USC.

    I guess Uncle Jessie pulled a few strings.

    Kawhi is literally the most quiet guy in the NBA. IMO all these rumors/per sources are bullshit. Let's just wait for Woj and that's it lol

    wth really?
    This is the reverse trap. He at best looks like he finished middle school.

    How does a 21 y.o law student have sources? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
    Instead of insulting him, we better reflect on our own iq.
