NBA 2024-2025

Why did the NBA veto the Chris Paul trade to the Lakers? Were they just covering their tracks so they could make this trade 13 years later?

Why don't you get in a time machine and ask David Stern? We have a brand new commissioner now.

Ah so the NBA deep state only started when Adam Silver came in. Gotcha.

Or perhaps when the NBA ratings tanked.

Luka isn’t anywhere near the draw LeBron is.

LeBron is 40 and out the door very soon. All of a sudden the Lakers have their franchise guy for the next 15 years. You don't think ratings are gonna go up after this? You said yourself, the Lakers always get the guy and the guy just miraculously fell right into their lap. You fully attribute it to stupidity without giving it a second thought. Could be stupidity. But I'm banking on a ratings push. Nico Harrison was a deer in the headlights in that press conference and that's not how people behave who supposedly orchestrated the whole thing.

"Nico. How did this happen"?
"Umm.. yeah man, me and Pelinka just had a coffee and I was just like hey... like... would you ever... you know"?

Lmao.

He and Pelinka have been very close since Harrison was at Nike and Pelinka was Kobe’s agent. What am I supposed to find unbelievable?

And no, I don’t think ratings are going to be meaningfully affected. The Lakers are a massive draw no matter who is on the team.

Luka going to the lakers is still mindblowing to me. I’m excited for his debut tonight against the Jazz. I think he’s gonna go off.
