Lebron James and NBA Discussion!

[rochrist]

James might be the one guy who can actually get LaVar to STFU or Lonzo will wind up in some place like Brooklyn or Siberia.

I think he will wind up in LA with a buddy, probably Paul George.

Come to think of it, Ball Sr has been suspiciously quiet for awhile now.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I'll have to disagree with you on that. Him, Pelinka and Jeanie Buss have done a pretty good job getting the Lakers back on track after Jim Buss ran the team into the ground. Magic has also played a big role getting the Dodgers good again.

Jerry West was good but it was more Jerry Buss than West. Players loved Buss and he was the one that always sealed the deal for big name players to come to LA. He was the closer. The reason Shaq decided to come to LA was because Buss personally called him late at night and offered him a contract he couldn't refuse. Jerry was a baller!

Buss was the closer.

Jerry knew talent. Drafting Kobe is his legacy.

Unfortunately he just made the rounds in LA doing "The Colin Cowherd" show and "Undisputed". He's still delusional as usual.

Ball will make LBJ better?? Not quite and that was from this week...

They traded for him but he did make some great moves to acquire talent.

Yes on the terms of the transaction but the deal was in place if Kobe was there.

Just looked it up and you are right.

Yea iirc Dave Cowens was the Hornets GM back then.

I just read that Kobe's agent went Lavar Ball on the NBA back then and said "Kobe's only playing for the Lakers".

The venerable and slimy Arn Tellum.

He and West were buddies.

He was Shaqs agent too.

This is possible, but I don't know how they get them there. And James loves to look like the good guy.

My guess is more fodder than fact.

How do you get them there? LeBron.

Latest rumor is Cavs trying to trade for Leonard.

They'd have to trade salaries to do it, that's not probable. Hill? Thompson? Love? SAT would want more than that.

 

[rochrist]

Actually, the really hawt rumor is Phoenix, sending the #1 pick to the Cavs plus whatever.

For whom?

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

For whom?

No way they deal the 1st pick to cleveland. What youngster does cleveland have that they can package future picks around to entice Phoenix?

Rochrist may have meant Phoenix trading with the Spurs, not the Cavs. That was a rumor that was out there. The Arizona Republic has written a piece claiming that there is no truth to the rumor.

Suns will not trade No. 1 pick for Spurs' Kawhi Leonard
