LeBron signing with Charlotte because he's a big fan of Scorsese's remake of Cape Fear

The dudes the Hornets are interviewing are getting less and less interesting as time passes, which can't be a great sign

LeBron will move here and reveal that his last name is really Nelson and have irrevocable proof of his relation to Prince along with a notarized will naming him the sole inheritor of Paisley Park and all of Prince's IP.

I know I'm going to get downvoted for this, but I have a good friend who works at Benilde-St. Margaret's [ed. an affluent private high school in the Minneapolis metro area]. He told me today that representatives from King James's camp have contacted the school about LeBron Jr. enrolling there next year. Apparently LeBron and Thibs are still on great terms from Team USA, and he's infatuated about the prospect of playing with and mentoring KAT whom he views as a generational talent. He also apparently loves the Mary Tyler Moore show and wants to move to Minneapolis because of it (I couldn't make this poo poo up).

You heard it here first.

The Mary Tyler Moore thing gives this a ring of truth, tbh.

This is pretty funny because either the Woj hit pieces were false and Lebron got along great with Team USA or the rumor is claiming a connection with a coach that already hates Lebron.

He cannot stop the Rators from being Chronically Shook but he did a lot to modernize their offense, has worked for a lot of smart organizations, and won d-league titles with multiple teams. I am a fan

Yeah, it kind of depends on whether you see the Raptors as a team that constantly disappoints or as an overachiever that rockets full-speed into their ceiling

I could never tell if that was on purpose or if he just lost the entirety of the rest of his hair and was holding on to that last bit.

I'm happy to see Ingram as the new "hmmm their front office of this team says they're keeping this guy but . . . ~MAYBE THINGS CHANGE AND THEY'LL TAKE OUR GARBAGE FOR HIM~" articles. It's nice to be on this side for once.

Although on the otherhand, Lakers fans have somehow convinced themselves they'll be able to trade Deng for Melo and that this is a good idea.
