Would Rose really accept a bench role? Really interested to see where he ends up, especially with those rumors on what he wants.

Tae: Oct 24, 2010; Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!

game as what, he's a bad shooter with mediocre vision unless he's kicking to shooters on the key and no defense.

He's getting free reign to do whatever on the Knicks that most other teams wouldn't give.

Are there many Rose die-hards left? I felt like I have the rosiest view when I say DRose is probably a decent bench guy now if you are starving to create offense. He's a tier or two below Rubio.

Like all of New York.

OKC ripped off the Bulls too. Why don't the Spurs get in on this action? Last trade I remember them doing they traded George Hill for a mid first pick and some Latvian. I want in on all this ripping off idiots stuff. I guess I do remember the Ray McCallum trade. That didn't work out.

Apparently Dan LeBatard said A THING about Magic Johnson being incompetent when it comes to personnel work, and a bunch of ESPN talking heads plus LZ Granderson plus Mychal Thompson are publicly accusing LeBatard of racism.

It's incredible: Magic Johnson has been with the Lakers for like two days and already his absence from Countdown is tearing ESPN apart.

I heard the LeBatard this this morning, and he basically said what we've been saying "He hasn't exactly brought a ton of valuable and original insight to ESPN countdown, would he have this position if he wasn't a former Laker great"

boop the snoot: Jun 3, 2016

What you�ve got here though, is a testament to the power of fame. And a testament to the power of a modicum of charm. Because Magic Johnson is charming. But, Magic Johnson was given a late night television show, because he�s famous and charming. Failed in 11 shows. Magic Johnson was given a head coaching job of the Lakers, because he�s famous and charming, failed in 16 games. Magic Johnson, not interesting as a broadcaster, given broadcasting opportunity after broadcasting opportunity, because he�s famous and charming. And now, he gets to run the entire Lakers organization because he�s famous and charming. That�s amazing.

I love all the people praising Magic's business acumen while ignoring the fact that to fail in the areas of pro sports ownership and SoCal commercial real estate in the last 30 years would require one to be literally clinically retarded.

And then saying that the person making the statement, who himself is a minority, must have said because he's a disgusting racist.

He will be able to get wide-open shots because of Russell Westbrook he will then get torched by whoever he's being forced to guard on the defensive end so you mostly hope that he hits some more threes than the points he allows

Yeah it's a good show. And all this is especially ridiculous considering he spent weeks saying the same legit things about the 49er Lynch hiring. I hope Stugotz actually asks the MLB commish tomorrow if they should put a pond in the outfield.

The difference between Doug McDermott's college and NBA rebounding goes to show that you can grab missed shots just on account of the fact that you're one of the 2-3 tallest guys on the floor.
