OT Crapping on the Lakers

[Cugel]

Since when does a coach need permission to bench someone that is playing horribly? What is this game coming to? FWIW, I don't think Rambus should be advising anyone how to coach. Guy flat out sucks as a coach.

The fraction is like 4/5 so yeah he cares about $32 million. He ain't stupid. Alright so maybe it's 7/10 so it's $28 million. Still he cares about that money.
If i have $100 i care about getting $28-32 more.

Bad comparison. If you only have 100 bucks you need - need every dollar. Lebron James doesn’t need anything and won’t ever.

True. It was probably a bad comparison. $10,000 and $3,000 might work better. How about $100,000 and $30,000?

Whats the chances Westbrook exercises his 47 million dollar player option? I'm thinking they might be keeping the gang together for another title run.

In California, and after escrow (that they won't get back now) and taxes, it's about 53% less, so $40M quickly becomes $18M+ take home. Still great money, but it's not what is advertised.

I hate the Lakers, and although my hatred of Michael Jordan meant I didn't watch a minute of that Bulls documentary, I will watch the SHIT out of this:

Damn..... now I gotta re-up HBO.

It's wild-- the CGI they used for the actors playing Bird and KAJ look exactly them

Hilarious that they called it "Winning Time" instead of "Showtime"--because it's on HBO.

Lebron asks for a trade this offseason, calling it.

Would you sign and trade Simons for LeBron?

Dame/Hart/Winslow/LeBron/Nurk

No I wouldn’t.

Westbrook had 1 assist and 7 turnovers tonight. Take that in.

I had to read that twice.

Not because i didn't get it right the first time. Just because it made me smile.

I wonder if trading for Wastebrook will go down as the worst trade in Laker history. I ask that because I have never cared enough about laker history to know the answer

Laker fans, I strongly urge you to pressure ownership to hire Neil Olshey. He'll fix you right up.
