We have threads on the front page about guys welching on anonymous-online bets, some guy who needs to make more Patty Mills threads, avoiding the Grizzlies, and Pop getting over himself (to name just a few).
You have a very selective Uninteresting-Shit-O-Meter. :lol

But it isn't just about TP acting like a porn star, it's about his night life in general. He would've been murdered about his eye injury in L.A. no matter that it wasn't his fault. They would've been saying he needs to stop partying so much. Or all the other times he puts his foot in his mouth...give him a Lakers jersey, and his career might be over by now, unfortunately.

First of all, NBA TV didn't devote a half an hour last night to talking about grandma-fucker welching on a bet, and second, you assume that I find any of those topics interesting.

He's done. No one is going to trust him ever.

Re: D'Angelo Russell, would you take him?
Sure, send them Kyle. Pop would get him in line.

Re: D'Angelo Russell, would you take him?
Can you imagine Russell snitching on Porker? :lmao

Re: D'Angelo Russell, would you take him?
Hell yeah I would take him. Pop would put him in check. Plus he isn't doing anymore shit like this again or anything to become a cancer in the locker room.

LMAO... everybody's raw. You ought to know me better than that.
All I meant was that there's so much uninteresting shit here, I don't know how you'd single out this one topic. My Uninteresting-Shit-O-Meter stays pegged around here these days.

I appreciate your faith in humanity but if I've learned something in life it's that you can't fix moron. And let's not confuse immaturity and stupidity.

Russell is an immature young stud of a player.
Damn right I'd bring him on board. Him with Leonard and Aldridge slams the window open another decade

I wanted us to make a trade for Clarkson before the trade deadline when it was rumored that the Lakers were interested in moving him in order to avoid having to pay him what he is expected to garner under his new deal. I expect the Lakers are now more inclined to keep Clarkson and move Russell.
If this were a couple of years ago, I'd jump at the opportunity. But now, the team is in transition more in the locker room than on the court. If Manu and Tim both hang 'em up after this season, we will be very hard pressed to replace them on the floor, but it will be virtually impossible to replace them in the locker room. I simply do not see anybody (with the possible exception of DWest) ready to fill their leadership roles in the locker room. When HOFers speak, you listen. Perhaps Tim has one more year in him, and perhaps that exposure would be sufficient to turn around Russell.

Probably depends on how consistent his outside J becomes, tbh. The thing that disappoints me is he's not the great passer he was hyped to be. If he were, his shot would only have to get up to adequate.

No, I completely agree with you, but what makes the LA stuff notoriously uninteresting is that ESPN and NBATV seem to spend hours talking about it because it's the Lakers. It should pretty much prove to Lakerfans that they don't get talked about because their team is great, or because they're so polarizing, it's just because they have a the largest number of idiot fans and what might make the front page for a day on any other team's message board ends up being discussed on sports radio and TV because all the moronic fans drive the content.
