All that matters is that I get to look at the most handsome Spanish man in the NBA all season. Go Cavs!

Hopefully, GSW keeps it up. I'm also hopeful for a KD switch again, it should be exciting especially if he joins the Lakers.

he demanded a trade so it doesn't necessarily mean brooklyn will get a huge haul like utah did, because other orgs know brooklyn has to trade him so they can be a little stingy
anyway I can't wait for the next lockout lol
edit: that being said, kd is a bitch but I believe he's autistic enough about basketball to not just sit out the season if he doesn't get his way

and who do you propose they start

as much as I meme on him, westbrook. he plays a lot better with AD when lebron isn't on the floor. his defence isn't good but he actually attempts defence more often than not, rather than one every other game. I'm not saying lebron needs to get miniscule minutes or anything, he's still good, but his stamina has been dog for like 4 years now.
I'm not a big fan of advanced stats but +- (if you even consider it an advanced stat) is the only one I think is reasonable and Lebron is at the bottom of the list for the Lakers in that category. Even a good portion of his seemingly good scoring output is generated in garbage time.
But having lebron come off the bench would be borderline scandalous, Darvin Ham is just a yes-man hired by the lakers to keep everyone happy and I doubt he'd even want to consider such an option.

That being said, nothing can save this team.

Lebron last night before the game:
"My foot hurts and rest is the only way to help it but I no longer have that luxury." States he's playing
Leaves near the end with a groin injury
Nothing really can save this team but Bron might consider it if he wants to balance resting and playing.

Nothing you can really do but laugh after they gave Rob Pelinka an extension

Pretty scorching start to the MVP race. Top 3 right now is Luka, Giannis, and Tatum in some order.
Personally I think Giannis is poised to take it, they all put up similar stats but if Giannis is doing it in less MPG/more efficiently with the Bucks at a top seed (right now without their 2nd leading scorer too) it's deserved.
Any takes after ~15 games in?
