just trade CJ and fix that olshey come on you know it needs to happen if you dont want dame to request a trade in a year or 2.
could even get a decent wing for CJ too |

07.27.21 | Can anyone who knows anything about basketball tell me if the Cavs have any chance of doing well next season? |
Storm In A Teacup
07.27.21 | cavs probably will be better, but they have another year or two before great developments. they are looking to offload kevin love and have the #3 draft pick and can return their young starting 5 from last year. they might trade kevin love and the #3 pick to someone like #6 pick okc in order to have enough cap room to sign colin sexton to a max contract. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.27.21 | you could still get a power forward to replace kevin love with the #6 pick and get a power forward like darius bazley. this is just a rumor so far tho... |

07.27.21 | I just read that the rest of the team doesn't get along with Sexton, so I don't know if he's our best bet. |

Storm In A Teacup
07.27.21 | And I have serious doubts. He has only played 7 high school games in 2 years and averaged 6.3 points and 0.3 rebounds. And seeing late night talk show hosts telling LeBron how his son is so talented already LeBron knows those people are just sucking up and being fake. |

Griz moved from like 17 to 10 I think in the draft... but yeah still not a fan of it.
Think Valanchunis will be nice on the Pels tho |
SteakByrnes
07.27.21 | Sexton has been rumored for so many trades so I wouldn't be surprised if he's not on the team next season lol, which is stupid of the cavs since that'd be yet another high scoring guard they dump for seemingly nothing |

07.30.21 | yeah i know i've been thinking about that since last night. westbrook defeating kd in the finals would be amazing. i would rather have that this coming season than a thunder championship in the next five seasons. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.30.21 | after much furious research i have decided the thunder made the right choice with Giddey over Kuminga. It appears that right now Giddey is a better player for sure. That must mean the thunder are ready to start winning soon. the power forward they chose at 32 is apparently really good and more of a win now player as well. most of the 13 first round picks the thunder have the next 5 seasons are from other teams so their record doesn't matter so much. looks like the time to develop fast and win soon is coming. shocking draft, did not expect any of this. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.30.21 | this is also clearly demonstrating that the thunder are going to be more of a neutral gameplan with the possibility of developing both an elite defense and elite offense. sure is risky though i like that derrick favors is here now too. could be interesting. |

Storm In A Teacup
07.30.21 | he's out 9-12 months!!! XD XD XD =) =) =) |
AlexKzillion
07.30.21 | Think they're more likely to miss the playoffs entirely than be first seed yeah... stealing two games from the Jazz and Suns apiece in a do or die playoff atmosphere without Kawhi is one thing... 82 regular season games without him is another. West is so tough man we just watched Steph and Lebron square up in the play in lol |
Storm In A Teacup
07.30.21 | and the Lakers are going to have a better record next season too. could see the jazz and suns records fall a bit too tho. |
AlexKzillion
07.30.21 | I think the Suns will be about the same. Jazz are interesting in that, unlike the Suns who have a ton of young players who can potentially get better and better, last years Jazz team is basically all veterans in/after their prime with no moves to make (assuming Conley re-signs). They were also one of the healthiest teams last year, and I think the only team who didn't have any players miss games due to covidprotocols. Can def see them regressing a bit, especially if age starts catching up to a few guys (Conley, Bojan, Ingles). |
SitarHero
07.30.21 | Depending on CP3's health I don't even know if the Suns are a lock for the playoffs tbh, and they just played in the Finals.
That's how deep the West is. |
SitarHero
07.30.21 | "They were also one of the healthiest teams last year"
Conley and Mitchell each missed 20 games in the regular season.
The only healthy playoff team this past season was probably Phoenix and given their long postseason, shortened offseason, and CP3's age and ailments that's not likely to continue being the case. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.30.21 | your two comments translated to me as "time to thunder up!" =) |
Storm In A Teacup
07.30.21 | have to consider even tho Derrick Favors only played 15 minutes a game he still averaged 2.0 offensive rebounds, 1.0 blocks, and 64% both fg and true shooting and 5.5 rebounds and 5.4 points. Jazz are going to miss that. Rudy Gobert is going to miss that. |

EyesWideShut
08.03.21 | In retrospect that Heat team looked modest compared to everything else afterward, Lebron or not. Prime Lebron was a force but it was the clamp defense that separated that team from the others. |
Storm In A Teacup
08.03.21 | For me this is the only LeBron team I can ever root for. This is the easiest LeBron team to root dor. We gonna get Westbrook a championship with a fairytale ending by beating Kevin Durant and the Nets. And by the time that is over my thunder will be championship contenders again. All is right with the NBA at this moment. |

AlexKzillion
08.03.21 | I just have a hard time rooting for the Lakers in general (despite Lebron and Westbrook being some of my fave players). Big market team whose fanbase feels they're entitled to any and every player they want and (because of Lebron) attracts every half decent veteran to take the minimum in return for a theoretical ring. Big yawn.
I'd root for them over the Nets though no question. |
SitarHero
08.03.21 | "fanbase feels they're entitled to any and every player they want"
I understand Laker hate, but what does that even mean LMAO? Are there fanbases out there that go "hmm, we shouldn't sign that guy because other teams need him more than we do"? |

08.03.21 | Lakers got Nunn and resigned THT hell yeah |

08.03.21 | "I understand Laker hate, but what does that even mean LMAO? Are there fanbases out there that go "hmm, we shouldn't sign that guy because other teams need him more than we do"?"
Lmao have you never been on reddit?
Obviously not even close to the only fanbase who acts like that, but considering they're the NBA's flagship franchise, in LA, and have Lebron on top of that, it's like a never ending vortex of bullshit like "Lonzo, Josh Hart, two firsts and cash considerations should get AD, right Max? Nah Stephen A you're gonna have to throw a few pick swaps in there" and every Lakers fan having variations of that convo about any star who becomes disgruntled. PG, Kawhi, AD, Lowry, Dame all at some point since LBJ showed up... then they add Russ to a team with Lebron and AD and half of them complain. |
SitarHero
08.03.21 | lol that seems like such a strange thing to be upset about tbh. |
AlexKzillion
08.03.21 | It's like... literally why most people who aren't a fan hate them lol why you acting like this is some strange new phenomenon? Bet they're excited about the money they threw on the Cowboys over too |
SitarHero
08.03.21 | Most people hate Lakers fans because of they've won a lot of titles and nobody likes dominant franchises. Plus, yeah Lakers fans are entitled douches when they whine about only winning one title and not winning a bunch in a row. All that is fair game imo.
But getting hate because they want good players on their team is super odd to me. Literally every fan wants the same thing, so the hate comes off like petty jealousy more than anything else. |
AlexKzillion
08.04.21 | More like... wanting to trade for stars with scraps (not unique) while the first takes of the world pour gasoline on the biggest most fair-whether fanbase in the league (unique), which crossed with the Lebron stans (!!!) makes for the most insufferable fanbase in sports at the moment.
Can't wait for them to lose a string of games in January and demand Pelinka turn Russ, THT, and three 2nds into Steph |

quoting sitar: 'I understand Laker hate, but what does that even mean LMAO? Are there fanbases out there that go "hmm, we shouldn't sign that guy because other teams need him more than we do"?'
I feel like alexkz makes a good and accurate statement. As for the first question quoted by sitar it is actually common knowledge that this is a mindset that ESPN and others have pushed for a good decade now about how lakers get first choice with free agents because they have the most prestige, it's the same part of the narrative as media and commonfolk saying no one wants to go to OKC in the middle of nowhere. and for the rest of your comment sitar i have no idea how you took what was said and even went in that direction with it lol |
Storm In A Teacup
08.04.21 | I wonder if Pop still talks to Presti a lot and is still giving him advice. I would not be surprised. |
SitarHero
08.04.21 | Your comment makes no sense. What question did I quote? I quoted a statement that Alex made. Also, why has the discussion shifted to media narratives to describe entitlement? What do Stephen A and Max have to do with the entitlement of the fanbase?
I feel like you guys are using the word "entitlement" very loosely to describe your feelings about the Laker fanbase. Here's a definition: "Believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment."
Every fanbase believes they deserve good players. What makes the Lakers fans special in this regard? Just because they happen to be more successful at getting those players? |
Storm In A Teacup
08.04.21 | Los Angeles gets a lot of free agent attention and deservedly so. The fanbase expects it because it is their reality. |
SitarHero
08.04.21 | That much I agree with. But I don't think that expectation is inherent just because they're the Lakers. I mean, people used to tout the Knicks as basketball's mecca yet it's been a wasteland for 2 decades. The Lakers themselves sucked for a decade. Lakers fans are confident because of the competence of their front office, not because of any misplaced sense of inherent superiority. |
Storm In A Teacup
08.04.21 | They got like 20 something championships probably that’s fairly superior. And championships in like every decade. That’s superior. |
Storm In A Teacup
08.04.21 | The 60s and the 90s are the only decades since the 40s that the Lakers didn’t win a title. |
Storm In A Teacup
08.04.21 | Compare to the renowned Celtics, who have not won a title in the 40s, 90s, 2010s, and 2020s. |
Storm In A Teacup
08.04.21 | Ugh. The Lakers just need one more championship to finally pass the Celtics for most titles. 17 to 17 |
Storm In A Teacup
08.04.21 | I forrealsies hope Westbrook averages 12 points, 20 assists, and 14 rebounds a game. He could average 60% from the field if he shoots zero 3s and is passing to AD and Dwight in the paint when he doesn’t have an easy layup or dunk. |
MyNameIsPencil
08.04.21 | Lakers should be like a top 3 team in the west but the amount of their players that have recent injury concerns is very much a thing
|
Storm In A Teacup
08.04.21 | Imagine Westbrook thinking about magic Johnson’s most assists in a season 13.1 and deciding to break that record. |
MyNameIsPencil
08.04.21 | you know I could see lebron shrugging his shoulders and going along with it lol |
SitarHero
08.04.21 | I think Russ is stubborn enough to not take a single shot in the entire season and average 20apg. That's probably like best case scenario too. With Russ handling the ball hopefully Bron FINALLY starts making concessions to father time and turns into the post scorer we all know he can be. |
JustJoe.
08.04.21 | there is for sure a feeling of entitlement amongst laker fans & the sports media for sure pushes that narrative to an extent |
JustJoe.
08.04.21 | which is what it is there is a level of prestige that you earn when you have that many titles so i won’t hate on them for that reason but absolutely the sports media consistently devalues other teams as a “destination” for free agents & are constantly pushing back on players to say “hey don’t go there go to the lakers where you will get media attention & blah blah blah” while also pushing that “you aren’t great unless you have a ring” |
JustJoe.
08.04.21 | but ignoring all that for me personally i actually think my only real beef with their organization is that it always feels like they draft players as assets only & don’t really allow time to develop them before they just flip them for the next big free agent but again that may just be the way the organization is built like if your strength is attracting high profile free agents & not player development then it would make sense to play to your strengths |
JustJoe.
08.04.21 | so all in all it’s a 5/10 & a shrug from me

08.04.21 | "I really hope we only gave 20 million to kemba to buy him out. I doubt we paid 70 million"
they only had $28M in cap space so i don't think they would've bought him out if they knew his dead cap would sink the team |
Storm In A Teacup
08.04.21 | Giddey could be a superstar. If you look at his stats the last 10 games of his pro career it is jarring |
Storm In A Teacup
08.04.21 | Basically a young ben simmons with already courage to shoot and make 30% as a teen |
Storm In A Teacup
08.04.21 | With a more point guard type body. But Giddey is still 6 foot 8 |
Storm In A Teacup
08.04.21 | I hope the Grizz treat my man Steven Adams very well |
Storm In A Teacup
08.04.21 | Pokusevski is not joining summer league he's putting on muscle instead!!! |
Storm In A Teacup
08.04.21 | Spencer Dinwiddie got the bag. 62 million for 3 years with the poor wizards |
MyNameIsPencil
08.05.21 | Wizards I think are gonna be... good? I honestly dont think they got any worse with their moves |
MyNameIsPencil
08.05.21 | Giddy is a perfect high ceiling/low floor type of player. A player a team like the Thunder can roll the dice on and hope to develop. I was shocked to see him go at 6 but I like the fit |
Storm In A Teacup
08.05.21 | Presti has said in the last week we should be going for playoff experience now. The tank is done sons. |

08.05.21 | carmelo signed for lakers? lol what an amazing match nets - lakers lol |
Storm In A Teacup
08.05.21 | Yes it is exciting, they also have Dwight Howard again. And now Lamarcus Aldridge is coming out of his emergency retirement |
DDDeftoneDDD
08.05.21 | Yap! Was just reading about it. |
SitarHero
08.05.21 | WTF? I thought people were joking about LMA. Didn't he retire because of a heart murmur? I didn't know that could just go away... |
Ryus
08.05.21 | lol if i were he i wouldnt risk that shit... |
Storm In A Teacup
08.05.21 | At least 500 people have tested positive for COVID in Milwaukee who were in the crowd outside for Game 6 of the finals. |
SitarHero
08.05.21 | Brilliant. We're heading for another bubble season. |
Storm In A Teacup
08.06.21 | my dad watched every thunder game this season and he told me today he doesn't like pokusveski. he says he saw him be a hot head in thunder games a few times and one of them the head coach mark daignault got mad and started yelling at him for being unprofessional. |

08.07.21 | Nooooo |

08.07.21 | once the season ends both players & gms should be allowed to negotiate with players & if they are against that then neither gms nor players should be allowed to negotiate with other players |

08.07.21 | adam silver is so lame man lmao |
Storm In A Teacup
08.09.21 | Holy fuck you guys Josh Giddey was pulled in first 6 minutes of first summer leage game with an injury. Robinson-Earl and Aaron Wiggins played great tho and got us the win after falling behind. They both look NBA ready. Tre Mann...not so much...Theo Maledon also not looking so good... |
Storm In A Teacup
08.09.21 | Lakers absolutely love Alex Caruso lol this is from Lakers daily
“ The hope is that the team won’t miss Caruso’s contributions due to the free agent signings of guards Kendrick Nunn, Kent Bazemore and Malik Monk.” |
Storm In A Teacup
08.16.21 | Lakers have a big two in Bron and Brodie and then a lethargic geriatric in Anthony Davis |
Storm In A Teacup
10.17.21 | So uh… Josh Giddey looks like a major rookie of the year candidate. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.17.21 | 4 presseason games he averaged 14 points 7 rebounds and 5 assists in 28 minutes and shot 23 out of 44 and played Denver at full strength twice and beat them in a game |
Storm In A Teacup
10.20.21 | Ben Simmons value is going down so fast that OKC soon could get Simmons by giving the 76ers Theo Maledon, Derrick Favors, and 2 first round picks. 😇🥰 |
Snake.
10.20.21 | who is a more tragic figure in their respective sports right now: eichel, watson, or simmons? |
Storm In A Teacup
10.20.21 | I’d say it’s between Eichel and Simmons. It depends on how the 76ers do without Simmons. |
CottonSalad
10.20.21 | Simmons for sure lol |
Storm In A Teacup
10.20.21 | That clown Stephen a smith threw Simmons to OKC into the universe. Imagine if Simmons was told just be the defensive player of the year that he already is no need to take 3 or 2 pt jump shots and play Center alongside SGA, Giddey, Lu Dort, and Darius Bazley. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.20.21 | Instant playoff team and all the pressure taken off of Simmons. If Simmons sets foot on a 76ers home game court the crowd is gonna be chanting things like pussy and all that. |
robertsona
10.20.21 | this is the knicks' year |
Storm In A Teacup
10.20.21 | Or da Bulls 😮😄 Knicks and Bulls look great. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.20.21 | Think they will be better than the 76ers unless they get a star for Simmons. Who knows what is going on with the Heat. Celtics…lol? |
dedex
10.20.21 | def wanna see Simmons get trashed next time he comes to Philly teehee |
robertsona
10.20.21 | I loved embiid's media day dismissal of simmons |
dedex
10.20.21 | yaaaaah me too love jojo |
Storm In A Teacup
10.20.21 | Yeah. Too bad Embiid is extremely injury prone. He probably has a few more years of elite moments though. 76ers would be best to light a fire under their asses and make some moves to support Embiid. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.20.21 | Do something crazy, 76ers, Simmons for Buddy Hield. Gotta do something or it just wastes Embiid. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.20.21 | Imagine having a healthy Embiid from start through post season and have someone like Buddy to back him. |
robertsona
10.20.21 | joel embiid has the highest scoring average per 36 minutes in nba history
for what that's worth |
Storm In A Teacup
10.20.21 | I mean yeah he could average 35 points a game but he also can’t because he doesn’t have that dexterity. He’s never played more than 64 games in a season and averages 50 games a season. 🧐 |
Storm In A Teacup
10.20.21 | He also turns 28 in 5 months and weighs almost 300 pounds…so…😕 |
Storm In A Teacup
10.20.21 | Now the team needs Embiid more than ever, can his body deliver on that? |
robertsona
10.20.21 | yah for sure just thought it's a good stat to pick out. fun one |
Storm In A Teacup
10.20.21 | Yeah. It is a good one. I can imagine that Boogie Cousins probably had that record once too. I like Boogie, wish he had better luck. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.20.21 | Oh wow never mind cousins was nowhere close to ever doing that |
robertsona
10.20.21 | parsing through MVP guesses right now

Storm In A Teacup
10.20.21 | Josh Giddey for Rookie of the Year, SGA for most improved player of the year, Sam Presti for GM of the Year once we give scraps for Simmons. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.20.21 | Fuck my finger almost hit delete on your last comment Robertsona I would have felt so bad lololol |
EyesWideShut
10.20.21 | I love whenever I go on this chat I see that Z-Ro album!
I would stick Simmons in the arctic of Minnesota, im sure Philly can finesse them. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.20.21 | m/ eyes wide shut
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Man the Timberwolves are such a joke. |
SteakByrnes
10.20.21 | I would stick Simmons at a local grocery store |
Storm In A Teacup
10.20.21 | After ten plus years of successful hacking I paid for a cable box to watch the Thunder and national games this year. Making money is turning me honest. That or security this year improved... |

10.21.21 | Knicks - Celtics was a treat tonight. |
Ryus
10.21.21 | lmao insanely fun game |

10.21.21 | bruh wtf the 76ers have Drummond? nice. they might not call his number to score but you can't stop the rebound. |

10.21.21 | seing all those 3s go down made me feel better about the horrible jazz-thunder game. misery. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.21.21 | i really have no idea why theo maledon is still being given a chance. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.21.21 | aleksej poku needs to stay in g league until he turns 20. |
robertsona
10.21.21 | That was awesome |

10.21.21 | the jaylen brown missed dunk was fkin glorious. one of the sloppiest games ive ever seen lmao everyone was gassed |
Storm In A Teacup
10.21.21 | i thought it was hilarious they made all those 3s and then dennis Schroder and rj barret were the ones to miss the next 3s |
Storm In A Teacup
10.21.21 | and yeah the jaylen miss dunk was a good cherry on top |
Storm In A Teacup
10.22.21 | the heat beat the bucks so bad tonight that i wish it was the warriors doing that to those horrible clippers that we have a 1st round pick of XD |
Storm In A Teacup
10.22.21 | Kyle Lowry to the Heat was an OP move. I think we know this now. Also that Herro game finally coming in hot. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.25.21 | welp, thunder have started 0-3 and we don't even have our own 1st round pick in 2022...gulp |
robertsona
10.25.21 | knicks smh |
Storm In A Teacup
10.25.21 | i think it might be top 14 protected and the hakws have it. hopefully that is right |
Storm In A Teacup
10.25.21 | knicks are literally a playoff team this year and have the ability to surpass expectations. tho i'm glad the thunder were able to get rid of kemba and not have him be a cancer on our team. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.25.21 | that's possible but he's the type to take it up the ass and complain about it the whole time and later on complain some more. |
Storm In A Teacup
11.05.21 | I’m watching Thunder Lakers live and I think I just saw Anthony Davis break his hand 😬 |
Storm In A Teacup
11.12.21 | Damian Lillard sucks this year. He was better as a rookie. |
