New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

So one down for LeBron. Leonard will be a difficult deal for the Lakers as Spurs will ask a lot for him. James might even call Gilbert.

I think that things would have very different for OKC had Roberson not gone down. I also think that next year might be the year that Heustis breaks out. All in all I think that OKC can go deep next year but not really contend.

If they can waive Melo things will really get a lot better there. Or somebody need to convert him this summer to a Ray Allen type and not do low postings.

Rockets, Chris Paul agree to four-year, $160M maximum contract

Allen played defense

True, Jack, was hoping too much of Melo then.

So this is the analysis so far... GS wins on day 1.

DeAndre commits to the Mavs. I guess nobody will lock his house door anymore.

Looks like the Clippers and DJ were both ready to move on. I was a little surprised Mark Cuban was so forgiving. Business is business I guess.

I wish DJ well. He was fun to watch while with the Clippers - except at the foul line.

I'm reading rumors LeBron signs a 4 year deal with the Lakers for 154M

 

[Steve Williams]

It's official

Cousins is rumored to be coming as well but Leonard is going elsewhere

 

[Steve Williams]

and more rumors. This one I like

Aldridge: Capela to meet with Lakers
Houston Rockets center Clint Capela enjoyed a career season in 2017-18, setting personal bests in scoring (13.9 ppg), rebounding (10.8 rpg) and blocks (1.9 bpg). That has made him a hot target in free agency this summer and, per Turner Sports' David Aldridge, Capela set to meet with the Los Angeles Lakers this afternoon.

It will be interesting to watch LeBron with the Lakers.

They must have plans to sign or trade for some running mates for LeBron.

I thought it would be Paul George but he stayed with OKC

This one is for Phil

Vegas got it right, $5000 to win $100 for LeBron to Lakers is just too much confidence on the new decision.

Well, I'm glad that he is finally out of the Eastern Conference, not that a good news for Steve, and good luck to the Lakers for the coming 4 years.

I hope they Danny does not give up Brown for Leonard. Maybe Smart and some draft picks will do for a 1 year rental. But I have to admit it, with Kawhi at 100%, the C's a good to go even for the Finals (if they get there). We will have a small ball and very mobile unit capable of running the whole game.

Lakers will continue to go after Kawhi. (This was made very clear to LeBron) I think Ingram would be a better asset…

Yeah the only way Lebron can win is with a totally stacked team. The guy can’t win otherwise. He will lose with the Lakers too even with Kawhi.

Reports say Lance Stephenson and Javale McGee to join the Lakers.
