36 soon to be 37 years old…
Last couple teams he’s gone to have turned their records around or had a positive impact…
But also physically broke down again near the end of the year when it mattered.
Interesting for sure. Teams could view it as a culture thing (NYC), or an injury/age risk as a deterrent to a multi-year, or he runs it back, which you’d assume is just up to him, Phoenix would go again right?
Congrats to the Bucks, If we didn't win.. I'm glad they got the ship. Well deserved.
See ya next year!
Oh I'm gutted and still in shock how this happened. Looks like the the "Curse of the Coin Flip" has not gone away....

Still in shock as if I havta wait another 28 years to get back to the BIG DANCE, I'll be 6 feet under....
CP3,
I am real curious to know if he will let the public know what was wrong with him was it torn tendons in his wrist or fatigue?
Regarding him probably opting out of his contract for more years and $$. If it turns out there was nothing physically wrong with him then let him walk. He's past his prime to demand that kind of money that will inhibit our future.
Book,
Well you could be onto something with the Diva comment as being in a relationship with a Kardashian can have that effect. I sure hope not, but the one part of his game I wish he would improve on is to stop the complaining of lack of calls. Some of it might be warranted but he needs to let it go as he is an emotional player like I am as a Fan.
And if I offended anyone on here with my over the top FANDOM I apologize as I know this was our BEST CHANCE to finally break the dreaded curse with this Cinderella Team but alas the Glass Slipper that we HAD IN OUR HANDS was dropped and SHATTERED!
Hollywood money wins out and the Rich get Richer.

The draft is next Thursday, huge day of us out here with picks 7 and 14.
They're about as close to hardcapped as can be and they have to S&T Dennis and have Trezz opt in to his MLE player option to get any sort of flexibility, and they've still got a 5m penalty to pay for Deng's contract, which would help with role guys.
Their other big 'assets' are either seen as potentially damaged goods (Kuzma – but I bet he'd kill it with regular minutes), or you'd imagine untouchable in AC (Defense/Role and a free agent), THT(Future/Scoring and a free agent) and KCP(Shooting/Klutch)... and they've still got dudes like Morris, Drummond etc who probably could get a bag in free-agency but the Lakers can't pay.
Bet you would like Lonzo Ball back although I think his younger brother is better.
Even an asshole can also do good things.
I was having lunch last week and a homeless guy came into the place scrounging his coins together to buy a cup of coffee. I asked the waitress if he came in often and she said usually once or twice a week, usually without money but wanting to get out of the heat/cold.
I paid for a meal for him for that day and the next 3 Thursdays. Doesn’t really mean that I’m not an asshole, though.
Great act from him and his foundation, though!
BUT… holy clogged lane Batman. I guess free agency ain’t don’t yet, but they’re gonna need shooting to spread the floor as well, and I don’t love the idea that AD is saying he’ll play more centre to make it work. I think he’s best there, but more likely to get beat up there too. And at some point, Bron is older so I can’t imagine he wants to play transition at breakneck speed every time Russ goes for a defensive rebound and outlet.
Kinda surprising if this was the path that they didn’t try via S&T for Dennis. That would have made more sense.
Melo on the other hand…
I'm hyped on the Rockets draft picks. Jalen Green will be a star, and the euros they got look great too! Sengun has a huge ceiling. How long until summer league? Ha
Pit Row
If he'd had been drafted to Miami or the Lakers would that have made it better? Because Kobe didn't win without a group of freaks around him, nor did Duncan, Pierce, MJ or anyone really. Shit people are hailing Giannis and ignoring Middleton and Jrue's stats, which are better and comparable to Kyrie and K-Love's on the Cavs.
Dirk might be the only one but then they swept Kobe and OKC, so his supporting cast can't have been that bad.
They have AD, westbroke, and lebron LMAO... Yeah if they win a ship next year it's a joke. Just like their bubble ring was. fake.
You're telling me having three all-star players on a team that can put up 40+ a game in their first year together and winning a championship has anything to do with the lakers as a team or organization? Might as well call it Lebrons Lakers.
To me the biggest question will be if they get the full potential that most thought Wiggins had when he was the top draft pick, or do they leverage him for some great veteran role players that they can lock up on the cheap? If this draft actually turns out as good as it sounds like it was, I’d move him for a couple of solid role players……
And yes, most of the optimism from me is that I think that Klay will be driven to come back at his full strength. He’s a pretty strong willed guy, who some may feel comes off a little bit laid back. I don’t think he’s anything close to being laid back when it comes to work ethic and preparation, only in his demeanor to the press.
Steph, Dray and Klay need help, NOW. Not wait for these dudes to come around and develop. They can be top draft prospects and still not work out, who cares about 8 years from now, worry about that later.
Wiseman, 7 & 14 could have landed something for sure and then look for good vets.
If they were only going to get aged, over priced, vet role players for those picks then I think that they probably made the correct decision to try to create stability as a winning franchise. I don’t think Wiseman will take 8 years to pay off, and if the analysts are close to correct then this year’s pair should be contributing sooner rather than later also.
I think that the last 2 years probably showed the Warriors that they need to keep building a young base, as they saw that without their ‘stars’ things don’t really go too smoothly.
I really do think that Wiggins could be the key to that team this coming season if they keep him. With Curry and Thompson healthy he should have some serious spacing on the floor and not often guarded by the opposing team’s top defenders. If he can take advantage of that the way he should, it could be his best season yet. A starting lineup of Curry, Thompson, Green, Wiggins, and Wiseman should give just about any opponent some huge matchup problems and also the ability to work the younger guys in without as much pressure as they would have if they needed to carry a team.
I think that they are set up pretty well for next season, but just as important they are also able to work towards long term competitiveness.
Saaaaad. Good for him but fuck, Lakers could have paid that, they had bird rights, Jeanie got cheap.
