New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[WLVCA]

Give LeBron and AD some credit as they paid their respects to Jerry West at the Lakers - Clippers Summer League game yesterday. That likely wasn't easy for them.

I was concerned that the Clippers were not going to re-sign Zubac. Glad that they did. Surprised the Lakers let him go last year.

Nothing the Lakers do surprise me now.

The Bucks now has 2 sets of brothers. Twins Brook and Robin and brothers Giannis and Thanasis. That should give the defense a big headache.

I should say I knew that too, or heard that. No love lost for Kyrie in Beantown.

Bobby Portis says players knew in February about Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving to Nets

At least Kyrie is consistent. He is hated in both Cleveland and Boston, the only NBA cities he has played in. Wonder how long it will take Brooklyn to hate him? Could be soon since he won't have KD playing with him next season.

True. I even was sort of defending him when in his early Celtics days he was talking flat earth.

I love the look, or the 'place' of Jerry West in that bench. He IS the REAL deal. It's like him schooling James and buddy Rich in Deals 101. If I were West, I would be telling James, I stopped you twice when I was with the Warriors, and I would like to do it again with the Clippers. All in jest. I can't believe I'm saying this as a Celtics fan, but Thank Heavens there is a Jerry West, and I mean it.

He lost me with that "flat earth" bull crap, too.

Iggy's number 9 to be retired.

Always wished the Clippers got Iggy going way back. Glad to see him get the honor.

I got curious about the Clippers history though I knew they were playing In San Diego and were formerly the Buffalo Braves. Interesting that a former owner was a former owner of the Boston Celtics.

"Snyder sold the team to Kentucky Colonels owner John Y. Brown, Jr., who decimated the team's roster, traded away all of its stars, and drove attendance down to the point where they could break their own lease on the arena.[12] Eventually, Brown met with Celtics owner Irv Levin in 1978 so they could trade franchise ownerships. Southern California resident Levin then decided to move the Braves to San Diego, something the league would have never allowed him to do with the Celtics.[13]"

It's got a very long history, they even had Bill Walton.

They could add the Morris twins for a complete confusion

Maybe Kyrie will be gone already before KD enters the scene

What a great idea! But one Morris is with the Spurs and the other is with the Wizards.

That would make a nice Vegas odds-making. First, he's gotta revive that flat earth crap and let the NY media grill him, then he's gonna harp about Dinwiddie not playing his best as he has no D Russell to blast no more, then he's gonna call up Los Angeles, hello big brother James, I'm sorry for those silly lack of leadership crap II had with you in Cleveland. Then boom, he goes 2-27 FG late in some games, and before the buzzer sounds, he ain't in the bench of the Nets no more. Btw, he did all that in Boston after a 'happy' presscon upon arriving and even telling the entire TD Garden fans that he was staying in Boston. KD would just be watching while in the threadmill for a year. And Cousy believed in his so much in a TV Special, he asked Kyrie to hang up banner 18.

Is that a problem?
KL was with the Raptors and PG with the Thunder

 

[Steve Williams]

so now we have 2 Greek freaks

Can you imagine the play by play announcer commenting the ball was passed from Antetokounmpo to Antetokounmpo. Gosh by the time he finishes the sentence the period would be over

 

[Steve Williams]

Wasn't there talk that Iggy was coming to the Lakers? But then again there was talk that Russell and KL were coming to the Lakers

Lakers have already 16 players on their roster, Steve. I imagine they were approved by LeBron.

And the Lakers might not field a summer league team, they shipped out all their rookies.
