Mike D'Antoni

-----------------------------------------------------

Mike D'Antoni and the Kobe-less Lakers deserve credit for not quitting at the end of the year and squeeking into the dance as a 7th seed. Ironically, the Spurs are the team Lakers fans wanted. Unfortunately I dont think they can beat San Anton without their star guard. I see Pau Gasol & Dwight Howard leading the Lakers to 2 wins in this series, but they will go down in 6. Tim Duncan continues to defy Father Time, and no one on the Lakers can stay in front of a healthy Tony Parker. It will be a good series, but I still got San Anton in 6 baby!

This could prove to be a close contest. Sure they don't have Kobe, but the Spurs have their own injury problems. The Lakers will need Dwight and Pau to continue playing to a high level, and if they do, then they'll have a good chance. Overall, though, I think this will be a 4-3 either way. But I'll back the Lakers to take it.

Not a hater but I can see what the Lakers are... They struggled all season, it took them till the last game of the season to clinch a playoff spot and now people think they are gonna just turn it around and beat a very good Spurs team. people act like the Lakers players are all in their prime, maybe Dwight but the rest are all past their glory days (except maybe Kobe) he doesnt seem to worry about age lol

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
