So who is the better team in LA?

Who are the support guys on both squads?

Clippers have Montrez Harrell/Lou Williams, I believe they were 1 and 2 for 6th Man of the Year. Also Pat Bevereley and Shamet, solid role pieces.


Lakers have Kuzma/Danny Green/KCP/Javale McGee



Clippers will probably win more games than the Lakers next season, pending any more crazy trades or the Lakers getting Boogie and Boogie returning closer to his peak form.

Clippers 5-2
Lakers 3-1

I'd take the field over LA to win the championship if I was a betting man.

twat are they saying? I don't tweet

hoping for injury. calling him a snake. showing pics of zaza injuring him. saying he'll never step in Dodgers stadium (albeit hes a Padres fan). Thats just like 4 tweets in.

best part about this is Leonard jerseys will be discounted price. grab one and put in a frame to keep the memory

i think the Warriors are pretty amazing value bet right now at like 12-1 or whatever they are

Heard 30-1 now after the Kawhi signing in LAC

[wdoupis]

I bet the Clippers at 18-1 before the draft. Feeling pretty good about that one right now

[DRiccio21]

I see GS between 10 and 15 to 1 most places... if you have 30-1 that’s nuts

Lakers are a complete suckers bet as 2nd shortest odds unless there is more to come but that seems unlikely as they’re using the cap space. I think they have as good of a chance at not making playoffs as they do winning it all. For record, I think they’ll make playoffs. Also always have to consider they could acquire veteran depth during buy out period

West is so insanely deep... going to be awesome

18-1 to win it all? How were they that high? I would have guessed them to be more of a longshot than 18-1 at that point

Thought I heard it on ESPN this morning. But I was just waking up and not having my coffee in yet.

At the time they were considered favorites for Kawhi all year so that’s probably why. I knew they’d shoot up if they got him but thought it was a good value. Had no idea they’d get PG as well

Woj reporting that Russ’s agent is talking to OKC about trade options

[wdoupis]

Cousins signs a 1 year deal with Lakers. That was easy to see coming

please Miami somehow

[shel311]

Cousins signs a 1 year deal with Lakers. That was easy to see coming

$3.5 mil, so $8.5mil the last 2 seasons after turning down $40 mil over the same timeframe while also bsd mouthing and lying about said offer for the team that made the $40mil offer.


But that's none of my business.

[nick]

people would rather go to the Clippers n Nets, than the Knicks and Lakers. what a time to be alive.

Holy moly, Whitlock completely nailed it.
