These guys just don't fit today's NBA.

Ellis is a volume scorer who can't shoot the 3 and a mediocre defender.

Stoudemire has been useless since 8 years ago in terms of penetrating and suck in the defense because of his knee. Can't shoot the 3 and also a mediocre defender.

There are plenty of "locker room" old ass guy who can space the floor and place some D like Jared Dudley, Kyle Korver.

Lakers have full roster with shooters. They aint signing these guys.

good sign wit avery bradley

Russ for Paul

^ Intersting, didn't see that coming although there was a lot of smoke in the 'Harden and Paul not getting along' fire.

These teams stacking up firepower. Gonna be interesting upcoming season.

I don't understand how this trade helps improve Houston. Harden and Westbrook are ball dominant point guards.

They need the ball in order to be at their best. -not exactly the best playmakers. We all know that Harden is a terrible defender.

Westbrook is inefficient in terms of his FG%. He is also a turnover machine.

Kawhi and PG will get more steals during games between LAC and Houston thanks to Westbrook's turnover rate. :lawl:

Getting rid of CP3 and his big contract is a big plus for Houston though.

NBA should reconsider Relocate back to Seattle
OKC doesn't seem like a good NBA destination.
At least Seattle have all the big tech companies to support.

Have you seen Russell's contract? Lol

Makes Loui Ericksson's look good by comparison!

After wasting durant, harden, westbrook, ibaka talents in OKC :heckno:

Lol Russ and Harden. Top 2 usage in the NBA together. Russ is a career sub 30% 3PT shooter. This isn't a good fit at all. However, it is a improvement by-subtraction of Corolla Paul. Corolla Paul is on his last leg: injured half of the time, flopping around on defense, prima donna attitude.

Top 1% of the 1st world problem.

Anthony Davis to Wear No. 3 For Lakers After 'Hurtful' Jersey Gift Delay

Anthony Davis will wear No. 3 for the Lakers during the upcoming season as LeBron James holds onto No. 23–a decision made after James gifted his new teammate the number on June 27 but Nike delayed the plan as it "could not accommodate the request for this season," per Yahoo! Sports' Chris Haynes, due to its sizable No. 23 James inventory.

Nobody is going to buy their jersey next season lol

^ Jerseys will end up in Africa somewhere.

Nike said it would costs them millions cuz they printed so many of Lebron with 23.

Man, I feel Steve Ballmer will be the most entertaining person to watch next season.

^ really .... I (and I think Kawhi too) thought he was so damn annoying in the presser. He was all hype and fluff.

I bought 2 tickets to see LAC vs DAL in October, so I hope all the stars come and play the preseason game.

Ballmer has always been like that.

That's a great owner. Big mouth, deep pocket and passionate enough to back it up with his wallet. And not little bitches like Cuban And Gilbert with the bitching and moaning.

They need a colorful character like him. They're competing with the Lakers for LA's love after all.

It's just hilarious seeing a guy like Ballmer all hyped up and shit. haha The most loaded guy in the NBA and imagine he brings a title to LA before the lakers? lol

Bit of a drama queen ... and I actually like JLin. How many millions have you earned from NBA so far, a lot of it sitting on the bench? Maybe if you could still play?

3 and D in this league for role players. He has neither. Guy failed to evolve his game. He had a chance at Toronto but fell out of rotation.

Melo pretty much ruined his life.

What is Jeremy whining about tough free agency? He literally got paid to do not much most of his nba career. Why on earth would anyone want to pay him to sit anymore. Net worth over $100+ million. He can just invest that and retire comfortably.

oh please, it's not like he'll be unemployed, he can play in Europe or China and still make millions, stop whining

Jeremy Lin is a celebrity in Asia. Not close as Ying Ming, but still..
He even lucky enough to get a RING
He will be fine.

He was often injured and old.
No NBA team will sign him unless their Backup PG get injure.

He's 30. That's like middle of prime for average NBA player, i.e. not old.

Guy just needs to work on the 3 like everybody else.
