2017-2018 NBA Season

are you a big baller now? 😁

Question for me?

If yes: I'm definitely not a fan of LaVar and his Kobe knockoffs, but I'm in for family.

Kobe waited too long to retire. Liked his game up to the point when FG% hit <40%. 2014-2016 was painful to watch hehe.

Hopefully LaVar's game will make it worth putting up with his father's obnoxiousness. Conditioning is a concern though. I don't think he can go a full NBA game without getting winded. He has such a short time to improve on that.

Nah bro, I actually cringe at the BBB brand. 😝

But I am a fan of Lakers stars of the past. West, Baylor, Chamberlain, O'neal, Bryant, Abdul Jabbar and Johnson all wore purple and gold.

Hard not to be impressed with the Lakers in terms of championships and HOF players.

Taj Gibson signs with MIN. Let the Thibs reunion continue.

Kyle Lowry, Iggy stay with their current teams.

Can't comment on the "waited too long to retire" because I was too emotional about his injury (giggles).

But yeah... those were the times when I was so hopeful about his return; as in hoping he'd get his 6th ring before retiring.

Hopefully LaVar's game

Maybe you mean Lonzo's game...

See? That's why I'm not a fan... That's the dad's effect on us

To summarize the first days of 2017 free agency: Twitter

This is exactly why I wish the Lakers focus on organic rebuild and avoid using their entire cap space...

I am one of -- well, I don't know -- the few who hopes the Lakers stick with organic rebuild and do away with signing star free agents who will just eat up the minutes of that "standout talent" and of that "new face of the Los Angeles Lakers" (Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball, respectively, according to Magic Johnson).

On the other hand, if Paul George will sign up for the Lakers' off-guard position, that's hooray for me!

If the Lakers, particularly Ingram and Ball, do considerably good in the upcoming season...

1. I'd rather that the Lakers sign just one max player (Paul George -- if he's really hell-bent on signing with the Lakers); and

2. They should save the rest of their cap space future flexibility.

I don't want the Lakers to go back to this kind of cap life again: Golden State now has $13�M in guaranteed contracts...

Welcome to the NBA, where the off-season is more exciting than the actual season.

MIN just became a playoff team. hehe

A lot of people, including myself, thought they were a playoff team before the start of last season. I'm still rooting for them this time. #LetsGoHEAT

[adulaamin]

May I chime in?

Lakers fan here (manalo o matalo). Since Kobe retired, my favorite player now is Jordan Clarkson because he's half-Pinoy!



I like that deal, especially if Paul George remains with OKC. I wish the Lakers get back to playoff contention organically -- so here's hoping Ingram blooms into a star in his second year.

Paul George is a rental.

There is news, Hayward will join the Celtics. Is Tatum the other superstar they're looking for.

Now how about trading for Paul George from OKC?

[chronicle]

Not yet confirmed yang kay hayward.

Confirmed na, Hayward to join Boston.

That's sad for utah. Damn, sign and trade?

Sayang nga but good choice for him. He has no chance of getting out of the west with GSW still stacked.

Sa east at leats he needs to worry about the CAVS only and with this upgrade, I think BOS can take it to the CAVS. Somebody can now guard LBJ and not be bulldozed all the time. Gordon Hayward is strong and as tall as LBJ. Plus he can score and is a good passer as well.

Go BOSTON! sa east ha. hehe

[chronicle]

Celts now have 4 or 5 players that can play sf. And this will stunt the growth of tatum and j brown. Hopefully, they can find a new home for their young players.

Similar to what happenned to terry rozier. He is behind it4 and smart in PG depth.

Nope, UFA sya, so he signed with Boston = 4 years, $128M.
