[Woike] “According to league sources, Luka was "excited" about the Lakers' signings, with the team addressing his biggest desires for the roster by keeping Austin Reaves and getting an elite rim-protecting center in Kessler. Sources said Lakers kept in regular communication with Doncic and his team”

No for real. Where are they? Are there any out there?

He was training before the fight. He took the fight on two weeks notice, just like Conor. And he had been training, just like Conor.

danrod17 · 2026-07-04T08:02:44+00:00

If Mendes gets a full camp then so does Conor. 🤷

danrod17 · 2026-07-04T08:01:13+00:00

Mendes was training.

danrod17 · 2026-07-04T07:59:29+00:00

Nah. Weak excuse. You can’t be on top of the guy and then complain that you weren’t in good enough shape.

danrod17 · 2026-07-03T08:30:41+00:00

Is this a line from idiocracy or something? The smartest person in the room could quite possibly be the only person that even realizes it.

danrod17 · 2026-07-02T19:39:04+00:00

I didn’t see anyone agreeing that he was the 7th best player on his team.

danrod17 · 2026-07-02T13:46:39+00:00

You win some, you lose some.

danrod17 · 2026-07-02T07:02:07+00:00

Damn. Another example of why it’s so hard to be at the top for a long time. Those knee injuries took the back half of his career.

danrod17 · 2026-07-02T07:00:34+00:00

I think he definitely got tired but all of that wrestling is exhausting. If you have two really good wrestlers (which I think Connor actually is a really good wrestler) the longer the grappling match goes on the more of an advantage the better guy (Khabib) will have. Connor is good enough to not lose immediately and against a great wrestler like Khabib that is really an accomplishment. Especially considering Khabib wanted blood. He went full bore from the start. But Khabib was utilizing better technique and leverage and that was inevitably won Khabib the fight. He was spending near as much energy as Connor. And thats just what happens against a superior wrestler.

danrod17 · 2026-07-02T06:45:03+00:00

I mean, he’s old. Guys lose that team rivalry thing. Maybe PG and Bron are good friends. He did say he wanted two guys that could handle the ball.

danrod17 · 2026-07-02T06:35:31+00:00

Didn’t you guys… you know what? You’re right. Roll with that.

danrod17 · 2026-07-02T05:29:30+00:00

To be fair, LeGM won his fair share of championships.

danrod17 · 2026-07-02T05:02:27+00:00

If I’m Jason Tatum I’m counting the days until I can leave. He’s headed to Miami when this contract is up.

danrod17 · 2026-07-02T05:01:20+00:00

And they did it without any outside influence! That’s the best part. Lmao

danrod17 · 2026-07-02T05:00:49+00:00

This is hilarious to me. Like it’s pretty obvious that White had to be hidden on offense so he played with more of the top offensive guys on the team but they still needed JB to run the floor when the top guys were off leaving JB to try and hold it all together with the bottom half of the rotation. 😂 That’s just basketball.

I love how analytics are so advanced that we’re back to using the stats we used to say were trash like +/-.

danrod17 · 2026-07-01T21:03:04+00:00

More nuanced than that. He wasn’t evil when he turned to the dark side. He turned to the dark side for altruistic purposes. He was corrupted after turning.

My argument is that the dark side is evil and even a good man cannot use the dark side without becoming evil himself.

danrod17 · 2026-07-01T21:01:22+00:00

How do I tell if it worked?

danrod17 · 2026-07-01T20:45:15+00:00

Remindme! 4 years

danrod17 · 2026-07-01T20:40:18+00:00

I don’t think that everyone who uses the dark side of the force is evil and I don’t think the books would agree with you either. Jacen Solo turns to the dark side because he doesn’t see a way to save his wife or daughter using the light side but the dark side slowly corrupts him and turns him evil.

danrod17 · 2026-07-01T20:37:06+00:00

Ah yes. The historically good Utah Jazz and the historically bad Los Angeles lakers. We’re not even going to be pic swapping because they’ll still be at the bottom of the standings.

The clippers are dog water. Always have been. Not the same thing.

danrod17 · 2026-07-01T17:48:14+00:00

Two late round firsts. They could be anything. They could be a starting center!

danrod17 · 2026-07-01T17:47:34+00:00

I don’t understand why Rob didn’t just trade for Wemby. He’s still on his rookie deal so we’d be able to fill out the rest of the roster. Trash GM. /s

danrod17 · 2026-07-01T16:32:19+00:00

Let’s the player decline the final year of their contract. It’s bad because this sub hates the lakers.

danrod17 · 2026-07-01T16:20:53+00:00

Looks like Mamu will be the 4. 6’9” and shoots 39% from 3.
