"If Austin Reaves gets paid... then there's not enough money for LeBron to feel respected, and then I could see him going up the coast to the Warriors."

@LakeShowGo Can’t rebound or defend, can’t have both him and Kennard

Rui Hachimura is an upcoming free agent and the Lakers need to bring him back, no question.
He gives them steady wing scoring when the offense gets stuck, can hit open shots, and doesn’t need the ball all the time to be effective. That’s perfect for how the Lakers are built. He also defends multiple positions and just plays simple, solid basketball that works in playoff games.
He already proved he fits in LA. Just bring him back!!💜💛

The Atlanta Hawks are expected to explore the trade market for Jonathan Kuminga, per @MikeAScotto
“The Hawks have conducted their due diligence and gauged Kuminga’s value on the trade market ahead of the draft, league sources told HoopsHype. With that said, the 23-year-old forward returning to the Hawks next season remains a real possibility.”

LeBron James says he couldn't date a stay at home woman
“I think personally me today, if I was not in a relationship, I could not have a stay at home woman”
“For me, who I am at 40 and what I got going on, just coming home and seeing somebody sitting on the couch every day just chilling, that wouldn't float for me”

NYC is getting an insane exhibit this week.
It's called "Clinamen."
It's a living, breathing instrument:
- 3 massive pools of water
- 800+ floating ceramic bowls
- inside the Park Avenue Armory
- the bowls drift on a current, collide, and produce soft, random chimes
Clinamen (/klaɪˈneɪmən/) refers to the unpredictable swerve of atoms.
By artist + musician Céleste Boursie-Mougenot.

The missing piece is that there isn’t really another burst of above-normal money supply growth yet.
That’s why I have trouble seeing CPI growth taking out the 2022 high on this timeframe.

Prior to yesterday's 29 point comeback, the largest comeback in NBA Finals History belonged to the Boston Celtics, when they overcame a 24 point deficit to beat the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 of the 2008 NBA Finals.
The game changed the entire complexion of the 08 Finals.
When asked how he would cope with the devastating loss, Kobe Bryant responded:
"Whine about it tonight. Lot of wine, lot of beer, couple shots, maybe like 20 of em. Digest it, get back to work tomorrow. Nothing you can do."
The Celtics would go on to win the series in 6 games.

The Lakers have been mentioned as a potential landing spot for two-time All-Star and pending UFA Nikola Vučević.
“With the Lakers looking to upgrade their frontcourt, acquiring a versatile, floor-spacing big man like Vucevic perfectly aligns with the team’s plans.”
“The Purple and Gold face a dire need to strengthen their big man rotation. Despite Deandre Ayton‘s potential, the center failed to display consistency over the season. Vucevic doesn’t necessarily promise this, but there is a better understanding of what he can offer, especially at this stage in his career.”
“L.A. may get real value in limited minutes.”
Yes or no to Vučević? 🤔
