Remember when Milwaukee threw out a sizable contract offer to Tony Snell like immediately after FA started

The Lakers should sign Jimmy Butler and then trade him to the Sixers for Ben Simmons

Tony Snell is basically like someone built a contraption to shoot three pointers and make 1 a game without doing anything else basketball related, which is something.

I didn't even know someone got shot until I checked the news on my phone. I didn't hear anything out of the ordinary and I was right there in the crowd near the arches. People were already shooting fireworks at random, so I probably tuned it out. Crowd started running and almost turned into a stampede. Luckily I didn't get bowled over but it was so close to being a bad scene. The crowd at the front had no idea though. Really killed the mood for the rest of the ceremony for us at the back. Security was loving awful since they were nowhere near the crowd and were just watching from above. Not sure when the opportunity for a parade comes again but I'll probably just stick to a less populated area of the route to catch the players and just watch the rest at home lol

Eh I was gonna throw more arguments about Lonzo but honestly it's just a frivolous debate. My heart's not in it. I used to kind of root against him because the media created a mini rivalry between him and Simmons as the next best PG. Now that he's fallen off hard, I just feel bad for him and hope he can at least catch on with a team longterm in a decent role. Plus his father's a dickhole.

I started at Prince's Gate and walked alongside the buses on Lakeshore and it owned. Went for lunch and watched more on TV and then headed home and caught the speeches on tv. Perfect way to do it I think. Glad I didn't spend 8 hours in Nathan Phillips Square for mostly underwhelming and awkward speeches.

Now I know why Spurs fans were so mad about Kawhi. I never want him to leave, this offseason is torture.

Yeah I watched it from Bathurst and Lakeshore and once it passed we had enough time to walk home and get lunch along the way because the vehicles took forever to get through the crowd the police basically had to push back one by one.

Do you guys think there's any chance someone takes a paycut to join the Lakers? Not that I want it to happen.

BWV posted:that's what a lot of people were saying but forgetting to barricade the actual route (they do this for the santa claus parade) is pretty bad. With proper barricades, Kawhi might have been forced to Stay. Sadly, the incompetence of your police has made this unlikely

Carlosologist posted:The Lakers would be a really good team if they got Pat Bev There are probably like 16 teams that think they’re the perfect squad for Bev, which is to his credit. But it’ll drive up the price on him probably TOO high, and as much as I love him as a player, it could lead to us talking about The Patrick Beverley Contract a few years from now. He’s already 30!
