I was #BBB’s but it’s time to pull the cord. 2nd year, jumper still broke, still lacks a strong handle, plays with little to no confidence on Offense 
Also BI was, has been, and will always be fools gold.
And to think some of yalls goat left Cleveland to move west and still have a trash team. I think it’s clear, 16 years Bron in, is without a doubt, a worse GM than MJ

40??Once Ray Lewis announced his retirement, I knew it was our year. I was telling everyone and no one took me seriously so I put a stack on us to win it at all at 40 to 1 odds. Andrew Luck. BULLY. Peyton. Pull up. Thomas. Never wants that Baltimore smoke (I went to that game in NE because I knew). Kaep. Chump change (almost copped tickets but would have rather watched on da 4K UHD with da homies I was about to prove wrong than drop stacks on suspect seats)
I got so ****ed up that night I didn’t realize what happened and woke up in my bed hungover AF thinking “Oh ****, I just won 40 of them thangs last night
“. I got a feeling about this year too although I’m less vocal about it so I put a piece on us at 14/1.
I never been to ATL but I gotta make it out there during a free weekend in 2019 so I’ll definitely PM you when I do. Gotta get @wavycrocket to come through tooB Sox as well #BaltimoreExcellence
I’m trying to do ratchet **** this year while I still can so my Houston NBA NTers stay on the lookout too.
NOLA on the list too @freddy fig . I 100% expect multiple cases of alcohol poisoning while partying with you for a weekend but I look forward to it.
...yo between that , your travels n the Porsche u living it up ...bout to drop that stack on the home team right now , inspired ! All I got from the last super bowl win was partying down fells 
N u might as well do All star Charlotte too if u can swing it, we out gon be a movie

We were 5 games over .500 losing games in the same fashion we are now.
Honestly not worried, but need Kuz back asap

Why is Russell Westbrook not getting more love for MVP?
He's averaging a triple double for a top five team in the league.

First it was Harden appreciation and now Laker slander.

No it was still a bad move.
When the trade happened....
The Nets had the 27th Pick. The Lakers had the 28th.
Prior to the DLo trade, the Nets had Lin & Dinwiddie as their PGs. Dinwiddie was nowhere near who he is now. And Lin was always a stop gap. Also LeVert was not even starter caliber yet.
The Nets were going to go guard. Nets writers have even said that Kuzma wasn’t on their board at 27.
Magic would have had Russell & Kuzma
The trade was essentially the Nets not taking Josh Hart, and eating Mozgov

Saying it’s a bad move is your opinion. I agree with you now because Zo sucks. But at the time, Magic liked Lonzo more than Dlo so he viewed the trade as getting cap relief and being able to draft a better player as Dlo’s replacement
Plus, we don’t know what the Nets demanded. Maybe they said “we want BI or Dlo” at which point the choice was obvious at that time.

He's having his worst shooting season since his second year in the league. He's been horribly inefficient. And, as we discovered a couple years ago, triple-doubles are pretty meaningless. He's not even the best player on his own team.

It’s a shame bron went to such a putrid franchise.
I hope the lakers are ****** until I’m old and crusty. Hope the clippers win before the lakers. The clippers been LA’s real team since kobe retired anyways. Real fans. Real players. No nonsense surrounding the team.
On my momma **** the lakers and anyone who loves them. It’s a shame bron is on the team. Makes it harder to hate but my hate shines through like a thousand suns.
So much ****** talent.
Lonzo Ball sucks
Brandon Ingram is the android version of KD.
Kuzma... no comment. Dude is the goods. Looks like a ****** though. No pause
Josh Hart is nothing more than a 6th man
Lance Stephenson. He’s from Brooklyn so I’m not saying anything.
**** THE LOS ANGELES LAKERS. Long term mediocrity couldn’t have happened to a more deserving franchise

There is zero reason as to why Lonzo and DLo couldn't have co-existed though, and you don't just give up a guy with that much potential for cap relief. That's the issue.
It was a bad move.

Did I miss the point in basketball where triple doubles were meaningless? Where did this come from?

Russell isnt significantly better than Hart imo hes better but not worth not getting Kuzma for sures and not dumping Mozgov for possible FA deals.
Agree with BBB man sucking but its not a knock on the Kuzma trade.

Ratsull implying he potentially wouldn't want to play with Zo was the nail in the coffin for him.
And if things were in the works for a while with Bron had to unload Mosgov and/or Deng.

I 100 percent get this the front office pressured them

The thing is Russell was always gon be traded as soon as Magic got on board...D Lo was done with that organization , at least they got something out of it

Magic just shouldn't have drafted Lonzo Ball.
EYE wouldn't have traded D'Lo, but I can understand the chemistry and malcontent and attitude issues that he had with LA and you were in prime position to draft his replacement, AND get off of the Mozzy deal, trading D'Lo isn't that bad.
But Lonzo TO ME, was clearly the wrong pick from even before the draft. His red flags were screaming PLEASE DONT PICK ME.

at the michelle beadle/paul pierce clipbc PG is the better basketball player and deserves a lot of the credit
russ plays hard and does a lot, but he has his moments where you just question his bball iq
