If you turn your body, there seems to be no reason to swing your arms that high, unless your wanting to hit somebody in the mouth

Suspended indefinitely. I’m with Perk, a minimum of 25 games. I’d add the playoffs to his suspension so that his behavior is not replicated by the youngins of the league.
Nobody who ‘plays’ like that should be allowed to win rings again. Period.
NBA titles since the merger: LAL 11, CHI 6, SAS 5, BOS 5, GSW 4.

Re: Around the NBA XII
Stephen A. also said something legit about how Curry should be stepping up and saying something. He mentioned that the media would be questioning LeBron about him or his teammates relentlessly if that happened on the Lakers.
I agree. curry and kerr need to step up and disassociate with this type of behavior. He can't have this anti-apologetic, do whatever he wants behavior. this is the NBA and you have to be answerable, you represent much more than just your team and the organization.

The media really trying their best to make the IST a big thing, just so In 10-20 years time they can look back and say well Lebron and Lakers won the first IST CHIP LMAO

Both Lakers and Pacers have lost more games than won since the IST championship game.
So maybe in future seasons teams won't pursue it so intensely, compared to other games in November/December.

Maybe the NBA Cup games should be spread out over a longer stretch of the season? It can still be an effective tool to raise the December game quality. The $0.5M part is a solid carrot.

Not for Bron or AD, one would think.
Or even DLo, who's made money in his career.
Makes sense for guys on minimum contracts or the two-way players or even some guys on rookie deals.
Hey if it boosted NBA ratings and increased attendance, it would be worth it for the NBA.
But imagine if some All-NBA player has a season-ending injury in these IST games, where otherwise, he might have been load managed?

I like everything in that except including AR.
I’d put either Vando or Reddish instead of AR.

it's the only way we beat an Indiana package of turner/buddy
do we all agree that pascal would fit much better than turner? or is turner better?
with a Dlo package we can't get much.... we could probably do Gabe, DLO and first... for TJ and buddy... I don't know what trades we can do with limited pieces

Re: Around the NBA XII
With recent talk about Jonathan Kuminga from Warriors not being happy with Kerr and his minutes
Do you guys think they'de be willing to trade Kuminga
Lakers In: J.Kuminga, CP3 ... I'm not sure about CP3 if they want to get rid of his contract etc as for Lakers CP3 off the bench would be good- 10 min a game teach MAX/Reaves? etc
Lakers out: Dlo, Rui, Gabe, not sure about Gabe due to Injury maybe offer Hayes etc to sweeten the deal?
DLO for Kuminga works straight up, but not what or who GSW wants If any of them

Come on Lakers fans are trying to send out the discards.
When Dlo signed that contract in the summer, they were looking for ways to get rid of him.
Didn't someone in one of the threads in the Laker forum talk about getting Haliburton for Dlo and other players who are not regarded highly by the fanbase?
