"The Milwaukee Bucks just beat out the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers for a free agent with all offering the same contract." - Spawn Jul 2, 08:26 21
- I like how Aldridge didn't like the Lakers basketball presentation...aka, Byron Scott and Kobe are there. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 2, 08:37 7
  - Laker Nation was also sure that Kevin Love was coming here too. now they're down to DeMarcus Cousins -- nm - slipping jimmy Jul 2, 08:52 3
    - And that's only feasible because George Karl is an ass and the Kings owner is a moron. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 2, 08:55 2
      - well apparently they will want Russell in that trade -- nm - slipping jimmy Jul 2, 08:59
      - I hope they don't make that deal I like the young players the Lakers have and unless Demarco is one of those - eag Jul 2, 08:59
  - Yeah they tried to sell him on the L.A lifestyle and marketing stuff like that - eag Jul 2, 08:45 1
    - Well, when your coach is a relic and your superstar is one of the least popular players around...you don't have much to sell. - Will Hunting Jul 2, 08:47
  - Yeah. When a kid would rather live/play in *Milwaukee*... you need to realize something. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 08:38
- He's better off in Milwaukee. The other two are just a mess. L.A. has a better shot of improving soon but the Bucks have some very good pieces. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 08:31 12
  - LA has a chance of improving? Did ownership step back or something? - Spawn Jul 2, 08:33 9
    - Their ownership isn't bad and they are committed to winning. The Knicks ownership is awful and makes every wrong decision possible. The Lakers have -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 2, 08:46 4
      - You needed to get a more experience coach - eag Jul 2, 09:11 3
        
        I'm also waiting to see the genius Phil Jackson do something. He was great as a coach but let's see if he can build a team. - Krusty Jul 2, 09:15 2
        
        Well, he is completely out of touch with what works. - Will Hunting Jul 2, 09:18 1
        
        We love basketball so much in this city and both teams suck so much it hurts. -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 2, 09:23
    - Kobe's also likely to retire after this season. - Will Hunting Jul 2, 08:39 3
      - But still... Jeanie & Jim. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 08:43 2
        
        Jeanie is smart its Jim who seems to be the dumb one. -- nm - eag Jul 2, 08:47
        
        I think Jeanie is competent...Jimmy's apparently the joke. - Will Hunting Jul 2, 08:46
