Imagine if instead of LeBron, the Lakers kept D-Lo, Zubac and Randle. And instead of Magic/Pelinka the Lakers got a legit front office duo with experience. We’d be exciting and looking to really become a threat instead of being a mess of a franchise with no clear direction. If the Lakers end up over-trading the roster to try to get a championship before LeBron exits the league we’ll be back to the shit like when Kobe left and they kept bringing over vets trying to get one last championship before Kobe was done. These talking heads are ignorant to say trading all our youth for AD is a good move. That’s how you cripple a fucking franchise for years to come.

NBA IS AWFUL !!! Never gonna be like late 70’s/80’s. No more Julius Erving, Bird, Kareem, “Old Magic”, Gervin, English, B.King, etc.. Even Jordan was a part of those old days. Just my opinion. Those NBA days did not get the ratings on tv as much. But had the swagger and real play this days NBA lacks. FK off NBA !

SAS gets insecure when someone on the show has more NBA connections than he has. Keeps interrupting and tries to change the narrative when someone is explaining something that doesn’t go with his opinion.

there goes the bias fake reporting again from the loud mouth. He doesnt want to say anything bad about Magic but he always gave Phil Jackson the business. This dude out here spewing hear say and saying what he heard but then says that he spoke to Jeannie and Rob. Well why dont you tell us what they told you. If he is trying to get to the bottom if it, why didnt he just ask. Aint nobody telling this joker nothing. Then he holds off his so called vacation to come on air to give his bias opinion after the real connected ones like Winhorst and Woj already gave us the low down.. What a tool

Pelinka is proxy for Kobe. Everybody says it. Who on the all time list,
benefits the most from Magic’s legacy tarnished and for looking like a
clown by the way he quit yesterday (clashing with Pelinka) and who
benefits the most from Lebron never winning another chip…. and staying
behind them on the all time list. Who is controlling and in Pelinka’s
ear all the time. Who?
