Eruditor:


Then what is Kyle Lowry?

I can educate but I cannot cure chronic ignorance.

If Klay being a first time all star on a basic salary with iffy finals performances is a superstar. What is Kyle lowry with multiple all star appearances, many huge games and a $100M 3 year contract? Lol.

At least, you did not try to defend Lebron who has won nothing without super stars whereas Curry has 1.

Boogie can go anywhere he pleases. I said what GSW said which is that he will be offered that $6M if no one else gives him the money he is looking for. I am not sure he is at the top of any GSW supporter's list. I would take Rudy Gay over him - every time and they don't even play the same position.

What I need is another solid scorer to help during the regular season. Curry and Draymond can rally the squad to the playoffs. Then a healthy KD and Klay will be back to take us to a first championship at San Francisco where we will finally get to win 3 straight en route to 3 peating.
You say?

Ahh, SmooshCHN lives. How miraculous. You must have cried a bucket of tears in the past 24 hours.

Drake is currently in the studio recording a Raptor victory song. Will you like to listen to it when it's out?
Not everyone's as weak as you. Imagine a warriors loss is lighting up your life like this. Must be dark in there. I've tried enough for you. I'll be paying attention to those who know basketball here.

All those fringe players were not key. We were top heavy. Outside of KD, SC and Klay we had no other true scorers. That was the biggest issue. Cousins could have been that but the man is still recovering. I heard GSW will offer him the $6M one year option if no club gives him what he wants the following year. If he stays healthy he will be immense.

But like I said, Cook and Jerebko were defensive liabilities and then could not score when they were left free. That was huge. Shaun L has one more year but I hope he baulks and decides to leave now to give us that salary cap space..he let his team down.
Yeah. Cousins health was also a big factor and I hope he stays and I also hope he gets his money. Shaun needs to go mehn, he should just retire.

Hahahaha, you think this is supposed to make me rethink my life now? OK I'm remorseful, I'm hiding in the corner now thinking about my life, all teary eyed. grin

Lol. This is sports bro, and imma enjoy this while it lasts. I wont get the chance often so I'm grabbing it with both hands now that it's here. We all had to watch how all you warriors fans talked trash in here, like y'all were some kind of formidable people with perfect lives just because you support a team that looked unbeatable.

Fate was like take Klay and Looney out. We won game 2. Take Looney back we lost games 3 &4 (dodgy officiating et al). Fate relaxes like Raptors got this. Then KD and Klay come back..we are leading healthy..fate takes KD..we still win. Game 6 we are winning healthy and are sure to win. Fate takes Klay out. At this rate, if we had won game 6. Steph would have lost his ankles and then Draymond would have been suspended.

We submit to fate and trust that the future will reward us.

Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, "John, go do my will!"


Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler
The gambler
The back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down!

With A.D and another superstar joining LeBron and kuzma, suddenly I am beginning to miss the warriors angry and I am a Lakers fan grin. It would have been nice to have two superteams go at each other. The NBA is simply a league of superteams and a few exceptions in between.

Meanwhile the pelicans look tasty, lonzo and Ingram are still 21yrs old shit! They have enormous room for growth especially Ingram. The pelicans have 2 potential superstars on their hands with zion and Ingram. A pass first floor general in lonzo. A borderline all-star in in jrue holiday that can offer veteran leadership or be flipped for further juicy assets. A 4th pick, and a stash of first round picks.
These guys have assets, young stars, and cap space. They will be in prime position in the future to make trades for superstars. And they have a great GM.
The pels may well be a championship team in 3yrs.

Ingram is unhealthy, lonzo cant shoot, zion is overrated.


As for the warriors, the lakers winning next season is inevitable. I know they will claim its only cause kd and klay were injured. They will regroup and once again the king shall lead his army into battle against the weaklings where he will inevitably destroy them enroute to another championship, officially putting an end to their dynasty of tyranny. It has long been foretold.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:44am On Jun 16, 2019
The dilemma for the lakers. Kemba or Butler? Thats a tough one, Kemba is a better shooter which the lakers will obviously need but butler is an amazing defender, has loads of heart and is an all round dog. I guess it depends on who they sign to fill out the rest of the team. Finding the right fit is very important, more than just throwing in a bunch of stars together. I'd really like to see Javale, KCP and maybe bullock and rondo back. Everyone else can go. Get as many shooters as possible to replace them.

What an amazing position to be in.

Well, you'll get that super team matchup in the playoffs.

And the Pels would get nothing but late first rounders with those future picks. They'll be lucky to even get below 25th pick.

I think overall that was a good deal for the Lakers. They did well to keep Kuz. Hart and Ball are injury prone this early in their careers. Ingram will be a star, but superstar? Not too sure

Naa, Rondo must leave. A point guard who can't shoot is useless in this league. I say get Kemba and promote Caruso. That guy is underrated. He can give 10-15 points from the bench.

Bullock needs to prove that last season was an aberration rather than the norm.
