Basketball 2017

Bill Simmons always says you can get away with exactly one headcase on your team, if there's an alpha to keep him in line (LeBron certainly qualifies.) You can't get away with two headcases - they start feeding off each other.

What the Ball gongshow is going to do is hinder LA's ability to find players to help LeBron without adding the second headcase. If Ball sticks around, I don't see how this team stacks up enough talent to beat the Warriors without poisoning the locker room.

So take your Ball and go home, Daddy?

The signing of Lance Stephenson seems to fill that bill.

Leonards stated intent is to sign with the Lakers next summer as FA. So the Lakers dont have to trade for him at the wrong price.

Also means they dont need to over extend other players this summer.

The world now knows how badly Trump’s father farked him up. Have to give Lonzo credit if he turns out to be a good man and teammate.

Australia/Philippines FIBA qualifier erupts into a brawl. Philippines ended up playing 3 on 5, then 2 on 5, then they called the game at 1 on 5.

I'm no hoops guy, but, um, yeah. And there isn't enough (FA market) out there to make it better any time soon. And LAL really don't have trade bait assets.

4 year deal means his oldest kid gets to spend all four years at the same High school that he thinks has NBA talent, and he hates Dan Gilbert. Without trades, he still probably gets Kawhi next offseason and can contend when GSW's luxury tax finally overwhelms themselves.

GSW going into a new bldg. should be able to pay any lux tax with one arm if they doing it right

Five Nights at Freddy's. Jump scare video game. Dunno what the 50/20 is on this.

There's a new game mode that allows you to build a custom round containing pretty much every animatronic from all the previous games attacking you at once (50 in total, all set to 20 difficulty.)

The creator himself suspects it's impossible, though there's a Youtuber who has won a round of 46/20.
