I’m disappointed in SAS. He should have spoken for to the point of the topic. This is a big deal and he played with the topic. His voice is powerful and he did nothing here. Pablo has been correct during this whole year and he did not address it

Stephen A getting 20 million to argue with players and failed predictions is getting paid to do nothing

Toronto thanks you for the championship, we wanted you to stay but you went home to LA so while we are in rebuild, we are happy you left.

Five years later, as a Lakers fan, I just love to see the bullet we dodged 😂
Five years laters, one championship, Luka as our next superstar franchise player, endless potential for the next ten years
Vs.
Kawhi ‘no show’, potential fraud, zero championships or conference finals, PG exit, Ballmer’s embarrassing court side theatrics…
Man am I glad to be a Laker

There is lightweight coverage of this scandal on the ESPN website. Proving once again, they are less about sports journalism and more about entertainment. Can’t hurt the product.

False take ! KD is the absolute worst “superstar” that needed a 73-9 team for rings. Kawhi did the complete opposite and earned his.
