Seems no one is talking Warriors anymore other than as an after thought. This is a good read

I never knew it was anything but always official.

Good luck Frank. You have a big hill to climb with Jason and his pitchfork hitting you in the a$$ on the way up and the way down

With Jason Kidd around, one should always hope against the odds that all things turn out well, specially the Lakers fans.

Lance Stephenson is signing in China.....amazing he stayed in the NBA as long as he did.

I cringed every time he touched the ball when he played for the Clippers.

Believe it or not I enjoyed watching him play for the Lakers. He reminded me of a smaller LeBron

I didn't realize you were a LeBron fan...........

Duh

I said he looked like LeBron when he was on the court. He makes a lot of mistakes and errant passes however but he's an all round OK guy

Best story of the day. Brought a grin to my face. I wonder if Jeannie read the article

David Griffin collapsed in tears when LeBron James joined Cavaliers, called experience 'miserable'

https://sports.yahoo.com/david-grif...rs-called-experience-miserable-195733151.html

“The reason [it’s overwhelming] is LeBron is getting all the credit and none of the blame. And that’s not fun for people,” Griffin says. “They don’t like being part of that world.”

Griffin told SI he doesn’t think James is “the same animal anymore about winning” and that there’s not much else for him to accomplish.

Many believe James signed with the Lakers to further his entertainment businesses and Hollywood career. He’s currently filming the anticipated “Space Jam 2” and has other film ventures in the works.

Then there’s his statement from 2017 that he wants to play in the NBA with his son, LeBron James Jr. (aka Bronny) will turn 15 in October and the scouting reports are mixed. His dunk sealed his team’s Big Time Hoops tournament title over the weekend and James took the heat for being, well, a little Lavar Ball-esque.

That article only reinforces my dislike of the King

This article is also somewhat damning...

Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry: When Anthony Davis hired Rich Paul, I knew trade request was coming

and finally.........


Didn't Gordie Howe play hockey with his son?

Has LeBron James prioritized playing with son, becoming owner over winning?

https://sports.yahoo.com/lebron-james-prioritized-playing-son-211358050.html

"LeBron is too old to put full effort into the regular season. He sometimes puts himself on too high of a pedestal to do the little things helpful to winning. He might have even thought going to Los Angeles would mean a new emphasis in his life."

The NBA released the Christmas Day schedule today. Always great games on Christmas Day.

All of the games look interesting but I will be focused on Lakers vs Clippers - family permitting of course.

• Los Angeles Lakers vs. LA Clippers

• Houston Rockets @ Golden State Warriors

• Milwaukee Bucks @ Philadelphia 76ers

• Boston Celtics @ Toronto Raptors

• New Orleans Pelicans @ Denver Nuggets

What is the significance of the number 80 for Anthony Davis?
