"BREAKING: Carmelo Anthony has agreed to a deal to join forces with LeBron James in LA'
Lakers next season:
Bron
AD
Melo
Brodie
Dwight- Sponsored by AARPutopian
- Man, big boo. At least when Westbrook signed I knew we weren't losing Dame. At least to the Lakers.garbage
- Los (Angeles) Galacticos!_niko
- @garbage if you're a Blazers fan, yeah I feel you bro, but Melo deserves his ring man, don't you think?grafician
- AND it's odd Dame doesn't seem to do what it takes to get one? I respect the man, but "doing it on my own terms" is time wasted in today's NBA.grafician
- "Lakers ink Talen Horton-Tucker to a three-year deal"
WOW! I'm amazed Rob Pelinka did this good in free agency!grafician - @garbage here you go: "Ben McLemore reportedly agrees to a deal with the Blazers"
Ben a solid shooter, next to Dame will make Blazers even m lethal from deepgrafician - "Marc Gasol confirms he'll be back with the Lakers'
Getting better and better!grafician - Melo's chasing. He's probably irked that he got passed for the US Olympic scoring title. He once said his gold is worth more than a ring.garbage
- Dame will eventually leave after Portland comes up sort a few more times. Ben's no real big addition. Sadly I think this is Dame's prime being wasted.garbage
- Sadder still, I think we've seen the best of CJ. He's going to get hurt again. So will Nurk. And losing Gary is another blow. Sucks to be a Blazers fan.garbage
- Bro until Lakers got Bron, we suffered for years. It's gets better, hang in there. Dame still has it and just needs the right mix to really compete. Mad respectgrafician
- Re: Lakers new team, I guess Bron decided to gather all this friends and party.
It's the Expendables, but in the NBA?grafician - @garbage Dame could go to Miami and definitely get a ring with that team, my money on them not the Nets in the Eastgrafician
- He was putting feelers out to LA, CHI, and NYC before the Olympics.garbage

- Just got lucky when half the NBA is injured lolgrafician
- Lol what a shit hot take. NBA has been injured every year for decades. That’s basketballnoRGB
- Giannis practically broke Kyrie's foot man damn
Even he himself got his knee overextended!
Anyway looking forward for 2022grafician - btw congrats to Middleton, that man single handedly carried the Bucks to the Finals and then somegrafician
- yeah Middleton's performance was unfortunately overshadowed by Giannis' epic play but it should not be discounted in the slightest._niko
- Yeah Lakers fans can't make injury excuses. Bron is getting up there, AD always gets hurt, and Kuzma is.. Kuzma.garbage
- Giannis was not getting denied. Him freaking out on the phone with his brother was amazing.garbage
- Kuzma is garbage.grafician
- Chris Paul is already in trading rumours for the Lakers btw hehehegrafician
- Oh and even Caruso can lock up Giannis anytime, he did it before, no problemografician
- anyone other than brooklyn is fine by me.showpony
- Yeah, there are also Westbrook rumors. As long as they don't get Dame, I'm fine with it.garbage
- But it's Portland, so you know they're gonna fuck it up somehow.garbage

Hell of a post season this year. Great series all around from round one to the Finals. Was going to be okay with Suns or Bucks winning the Ball. Glad Giannis finally got his. Absolutely legendary performance averaging 35.1 pts, 13.1 reb, 5 ast, 1.5 blk, 1.3 steal. That’s -.7, -.2, -3, +1.2 compared to Lebron’s peak Finals performance with year 2 Heat.
Now that Giannis got over that mental hurdle I’m excited to see how the rest of his days play out. Will he be a beast unleashed or was this peak Giannis?
It’s going to be an interesting off-season. Decent draft class, tons of great free agents, and plenty of teams that can compete another year with a few personnel moves.
Congrats, Bucks fans. See you all next year. Bring on the post season blues.

- Last year you were a die hard Lakers fan and now this year you 're you are Suns fanboy, LOL.utopian
- I am a Lakers for life fam
Just don't like the Bucks so Suns better win this bitchgrafician - also all true Lakers fans root for Chris Paul since he was supposed to be a Laker with Kobe but the NBA wrong us, so you better check yourself utopiangrafician
- I'm a Portland fan and Chicago too but def rooting for the Suns. Have a Nash jersey as well. I'm not a Lakers fan but have a Kobe jersey, not official thoughoey_oey

- It depends how things are officiated; 80s brutality vs. the 10s fragility.MondoMorphic
- 00's no doubtgrafician
- the 10s wouldnt make it passed halftime without everyone getting injured.StoicLevels
- also replace Westbrook with LeBronStoicLevels

- Never bet against Shaqgrafician
- 00's. If you're running a 3 guard game, Bron better be one of them. 10's backcourt is porous, would be absolutely diced by AI and Kobe.garbage
- final would be 90's vs 00's. But put in Jordan as the 2x boosting factor for his teammates while comparing the teams.Beeswax
- The 00s and 10s have no idea what defence is, Stockton and Malone would pick and roll them to death_niko
- lol @McFail/McHalekaiyohtee
- 00’s ... no doubtRamanisky2
- lol @ stockton and malonepinkfloyd
- Bad boy pistonstank02
- 00's for sure. Shaq, Timmy and LBJ would not up with the Utah dirty screen game for long.garbage

adam silver is gonna be so pissed when the finals are utah vs milwaukee and nobody watches

- Go bucks_niko
- First time in like a decade without James or Curry in the Finals. I'm excited just for the fact that it's something new, regardless.duckseason
- I still say the Nets take the Bucks. These playoffs are about to get hot. And why would Silver be pissed about a Jokic / Giannis matchup?garbage
- They play amazing games against each other. https://www.landofba…garbage

OK the only good thing about 2020 is that the NBA is back already.
Barring injury I think the Lakers repeat, they only got better and I don't think the Kyrie / Durant combo will be as reliable as people seem to think. Clippers and Bucks will both have a chip on their shoulder about last season so I think the playoffs will be entertaining as fuck, but I think the only X-factor right now is where James Harden lands.

the fact basketball will be back in 6 weeks is the only good thing about 2020
- 2021 NBA will be amazingly competitive! I expect legendary games.grafician
- Never really watched sports. Something about quarantine has got me really into basketball. Can't explain it.DRIFTMONKEY
