where’s the space jam 2 trailer?

I've hated on LeBron for over 10 years, but he's gained my repsect the last few seasons for all of the hard work he's put in, so I'm actually ecstatic about this.

My Lakers have been trash for over 5 years and almost every key free agent has turned us down (Dwight, Melo, Derozan, Aldridge, Paul George, etc.) It feels good that the best player in the NBA had the balls to join LA.

Next season will be fun.

All these young Laker players tweeting how hyped they are about Lebron even though they’re all gonna get traded for Kawhi.

Pretty bummed on McGee leaving. He was a big locker room dude, brought energy, played well in the finals and was able to guard Lebron on a few possessions. Also shot a sick fadeaway in front of Jon Stewart.

I really hope Damian Jones works out.

Kerr must have alot of confidence in Damian, he told him after the finals that next year was his to take over, not sure if that means starting job or off the bench because I'm hearing Kyle O'quinn signing rumors.

The move makes sense as far as having Damian Jones and Bell. I’m hoping for O’Quinn or Lopez to fill that classic big spot. Cut Zaza and let West retire. Jamal Crawford for an oldhead locker room presence?

Boogie to dubs is a real downer. Who's supposed to compete with them???

BallDontLie · « **Reply #2985 on:** July 03, 2018, 05:03:40 AM »

No one... the rich get richer. Boston might give them a little hell, but that’s essentially an all-star starting 5 once boogie is healthy.

Beeda Weeda · « **Reply #2986 on:** July 03, 2018, 05:21:54 AM »

boogi is listed as 6'11 and 270, whick is likely 7ft and 290, and he's going to be 28 before the season starts, the is a much higher chance that he never recovers from a ruptured achilles, let alone be back mid season or later.
I look at this signing as taking a waiver on a guy with a huge upside.

BallDontLie · « **Reply #2987 on:** July 03, 2018, 06:48:35 AM »

It pretty much is. He probably won’t be ready until what, all star break or so if that. Sign a small one year deal, get a ring, then get a bigger contract for 2019-2020. Can’t knock him for that I guess.

It’s making more sense the more I think about it... i don’t think Achilles injuries have been too kind to most athletes let alone basketball players.

That's the way I've looked at it. The guy is hitching his wagon to a championship caliber team while he's injured and is going along for the ride. Achilles injuries are really difficult to come back from, especially for someone his size in the position he plays. Even if he can't get back to the level he was at, he's still an improvement from anyone else the Warriors have had at that position and no doubt he'll make an impact when he returns.

As a fan of the NBA, it sucks to see one team so stacked. But it's true, you can't blame the guy for wanting to sign there while he's recovering from a tough injury. It's the best move he could've made right now. Who was it that said people wouldn't believe the things that were going on behind the scenes? Was it David West? I can't imagine what the locker room would be like with Draymond, Cousins, KD and West. Lord have mercy.

Warriors adding Boogie is an impressive move, but it doesn't put them ahead of my Knicks, who picked up Mario Hezonja and re-upped on Luke Kornet.

franquietits · « **Reply #2990 on:** July 03, 2018, 08:38:04 AM »

Damn, looks like we're heading back to a world with obnoxious Laker fans in every city of america.

I don't even follow b-ball that much either.

power moves. James Dolan is brilliant

Silky Johnson · « **Reply #2992 on:** July 03, 2018, 12:27:52 PM »

Apparently no one was looking to offer Boogie a contract because of him coming off an injury and his hot headedness, signing with the Warriors seems like the ultimate fuck you.

Boogie's full of shit:

The Celtics and Lakers both wanted to sign him as well. He's just trying to justify his decision, let's be real here.

Silky Johnson · « **Reply #2994 on:** July 03, 2018, 08:54:11 PM »

AD made it pretty clear he didn't want to play with Cousins anymore especially after that playoff run they made without him.

Nobody wanted Boogie for a reason. All that weight on a ruptured achilles is the end of him. 'Nique is the only player to come back from that injury and he had to change his game to stay competitive. Anyway, fuck these players taking vet minimum to chase a ring. Really hoping Debo never gets trading from Toronto.
