Would you pay JR Smith with the remaining cap?

no, he is not a good fit for us, and we are not a good fit for him in my opinion. I think everyone knows the best place for him is Cleveland.

I figured the JR Smith rumor was made up.

Cousins
Westbrook
Ingram

as the core!!!

Ingram is not even an all-star, so what Super-Team is the article talking about? And thanks for that link and all those pop-ups. Now I'll have to give my pc a shower, and run my anti spyware software. You put credence to a site where you can click on a link to see the world's top 30 paid porn-stars?

You buried the lead!
Link?

Oh, you should download adblock plus. I clicked the link and didn't have any popups to deal with.

Is it possible that the ads are based on user browsing preference and the ads might be different for each user? I've viewed en.yibada.com before and never saw ads like that.

No, the link's there in the quote. It's not a credible site though.

Cousins and Westbrook would be out of their primes, especially Westbrook by the time Ingram comes into his own. It's still a gamble if you don't know for sure Westbrook would come and now you're left with Ingram and a headcase.

I get pop-ups immediately. But you mean to tell me you don't see 30 richest porn stars, or hot alien chicks list on the right column? And this is my user preference doing it? Now you know my fetish, alien chicks. LOL!

Larry Sanders wants to know where you think he should play next season

The free agent is fond of Twitter's poll function; Lakers on his wish list

Quote:

The first tweet listed the Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks and Boston Celtics as his options. The second one: the Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks. It is unclear if he is seriously considering all of these teams and if that interest is mutual -- the Warriors reportedly decided against signing him, for example.
Sanders, 27, has not signed with a team since stepping away from the NBA in February 2015, later explaining that he accepted a buyout from the Bucks because he was dealing with anxiety and depression.

So when will the roster be finalized? Anybody got a timeline? I feel bad for Ingram. Kid is probably still eating ramen noodles and wearing Sears suits since he doesn't have a contract.

His agent and sponsors will take care of him. I am sure he isn't driving a corolla around and I'm pretty sure his accommodations in SoCal are just fine.

An agent friend of mine has had guys living with him and his family for awhile.

Hopefully not. However, him and Swaggy can probably net you a VH1 reality deal.

People who run adblockers frequent such sites. You don't need adblockers for reputable sites. We're dudes, sports fans, and most of us probably like hot chicks. So whatever analytics you're implying, it's probably for 90% of the people in this forum. But it makes sense I guess, because I've been curious before clicking on links that say Top 10 paid athletes, Top 10 Facts you didn't know about so and so. I would get pop ups for those sites, but I was aware of what I was clicking on. My pet peeve is sports news from such sites, and I should have read the link address prior to clicking. Anyway, your link wasn't the first, and it won't be the last Lakers rumor from crappy sites, and I'm sorry for choosing you to snap at.

Blame GT and Omar. They love analytics.

I'm more of an old-school internet guy. I don't support internet analytics.

But what does he mean we're out of cash? I don't follow cap rules closely, but I thought we had as much as $13 million by holding out on signing a few players last? All that talk about why Ingram isn't signed yet?
