@MANOMAGlC Yeah it's weird, especially since he's such a bright, positive, engaging guy.

I keep hearing that Cameron Carr had bad pre draft interviews lmfao like bruh what the hell was he saying 😂😭😭
English
@RevivedGamerHD @DanWoikeSports Well I guess they better use some of their cash to buy another one then. A player of Bronny's ilk can only be had for a mini-haul!
English
@LetRussBeRuss @DanWoikeSports well they currently dont have a couple to offer they have one!
English
Bronny James is with the Lakers at their vet camp, and if you knew what the Lakers’ thought of him, that’s less surprising than you’d think - and why the assumptions about his future are kinda false nytimes.com/athletic/74459…
English
@Ralph_MasonJr Yeah he looks very impressive. I'm sure whoever Rob is talking to about a trade is going to want him thrown in. I hope that doesn't happen.
English
@mcten @ShamsCharania This is embarrassing/lame.
English
New story: Suitors interested in LeBron James joining their team have been pitching James indirectly this week by sending voice notes to his agent, Rich Paul, which Paul then shares with James, sources told ESPN's @ShamsCharania espn.com/nba/story/_/id…
English
@DragonflyJonez I wish Elgin was alive. A long form interview of him by you would've been great to have for historical record.
English
Was discussing Shaq in the group chat and brought up his 44-20 Finals game (which gets overlooked bc that’s the A.I step over game) and thought he’s gotta be the only player in my lifetime with a 40-20 Finals game. I knew Wilt probably did it. Was correct on both counts. But OF COURSE theres one other guy who pops up here as being the only one who did it multiple times.
English
@VanLathan Why don't you just pick 2 teams? Why limit yourself to the limitations of the style of fandom that you were born into? Since you're forging a new path, might as well maximize your freedom.
English
@Ralph_MasonJr Watch it be a Rob Special about Kessler failing his physical
English
The longer this goes without getting an announcement….
Ralph Mason@Ralph_MasonJr
Lakers not announcing a single move yet could mean something or could mean absolutely nothing That’s my high level analysis on the topic!
English
Less than MLE money for Rui and only a 2 year deal. Strong summer continues for the Clippers
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Just in: Free agent Rui Hachimura has agreed to a two-year, $28 million deal to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers, sources tell ESPN.
English
@PeteHegsLiver @MMAPayout @RCamposDuffy @SeanDuffyWI True, he launched snot rockets and then put his dirty fingers in the peanut butter jar. Rachel was smitten by him.
English
@CanyonDriver At one point they were really good, then several years ago after firing a bunch of ppl their socials took a noticeable decline.
English
I was expecting this from the Laker account.
NBA@NBA
Cameron Carr was FEELIN' IT in his California Classic debut 👌 The 24th overall pick dropped 19 PTS to go along with 5 3PM! 🌴
English
@CSmoove_Sports @JMVilomar She's the absolute worst! Raging against anyone who disagrees w/ her, saying they can't "mansplain" LeBron to her because he is one of the few things she's an "expert" on was laughable. Even Windy, who has been covering Bron since he was a kid, would never be that delusional.
English
@JMVilomar Yeah I never followed her because it was easy to see she was a idiot and didn't know hoop
English
One dude who used the Laker fanbase to leverage a media gig been moving different since 23 decided to move
It was this fanbase that gave him the reach to get notices
Him talking negative about the Lakers was expected, don't get mad just know it's going to be narratives all year
English
@TheLakersReview Plus his agent is Luka's. They had to be more sensitive about making him happy to manage that relationship.
English
the Ayton deal seems to me like a “we’ll do you a favor after you did as a favor” type of thing. also, two 2nds for him is big after how people said no one wanted him prior to the start of last season.
English
@DanWoikeSports It's particularly important in light of Kessler's history of missing a bunch of games. I know the Jazz sat him out on purpose multiple times, but if he misses even 20 or so, they're going to need someone who can step in and give them big minutes.
English
@DOC323123 Yeah. Rich's comments were such a buzzkill early last year. They just kind of slapped the joy out of what we were seeing on the court.
English
@DanWoikeSports Bronny gotta be dealt now. No room for him to get any minutes with a pretty stacked backcourt.
English
Lakers get Jaden Hardy (who has two years and $12 mil left with a club option next season) and a pair of second round picks that it desperately needs for its asset cabinet.
Dan Woike@DanWoikeSports
Can confirm the Lakers are trading Deandre Ayton to the Wizards per a league source
English
@iztok_franko @cfeng123 And not just Kessler's game improving on a technical level, but physically. Remember, he tore his labrum in Auburn. We have yet to see him play with a healthy shoulder in the NBA.
English
@cfeng123 That's the hope + the part Sam mentioned, Kessler further improving, his shot and overall offensive game (as a passer, decision maker)
English
Great Walker Kessler deep dive by Sam 👇
Sam Vecenie@Sam_Vecenie
Did a deep dive on Walker Kessler, scouting his game, what he does well, what schemes work best for him, and how he fits with the Lakers. Then wrote about whether or not it was worth what the Lakers did to get him. nytimes.com/athletic/74142…
English
@kv_0810 @HoodiiLuka Yup and it's a shame too because physically the man has a lot going for him. He is big, strong, has really long arms (7'2 wingspan) and lots of straight-line speed, but doesn't utilize those gifts. He should be a lot more than a shooter.
English
@HoodiiLuka Kid only knows how to shoot and not even a movement shooter. I guess that gets paid in this league big bucks
English
@Kyrie_Doncic @ClaireMPLS She is the worst. Bron came into the season injured & w/ his agent releasing a statement basically saying he wasn't happy. He was dejected & downbeat for most of the yr. Like when he stormed off when JJ got the gameball instead of him. Luka was joyful & generous to his teammates
English
2026 Finals MVP on Luka:
“I learned a lot just by watching him and seeing him. He was great at everything he did. Growing with him as friends and teammates made me better”
Claire De Lune on Luka: ( @ClaireMPLS )
“Idk if Luka can be a leader”
English
@MichaelRJorge @oldmanbackagain @forumbluegold These guys want to please Bill because he's the big boss. They laugh and support him when he says the dumbest stuff.
English
@oldmanbackagain @forumbluegold I was shocked at goldsberry considering his background in analytics. Kessler profiles like a Rudy Gobert level defender and his team was actively sitting him because he impacted winning so much.
English
if you listen to bill simmons you'd think getting walker kessler is worse for the lakers than trading jaylen brown is for the celtics. lmao.
