So which is it, Luke? You bro or no?


It's a sign Beasley doesn't view Luke as a coach, because you don't call your coach bro. You call your teammate bro. It's probably why Luke got upset and it's one of the reasons it's so hard to coach other people from the same draft class you came up in

Not from McGee though, he’s a highly respected vet.

Agreed I thought the blowup would come from Rondo knowing his history with coaches but he's been on his best behavior this year

This is exactly why we don't need to trade for AD right now. Our young core, for the most part, are decent people who play hard, even though they are not as proficient as they need to be. If we trade them away, we are stuck with all these vet-rentals, with lousy attitudes and limited abilities.

To add on here, I’m told JaVale McGee, Lance Stephenson and Michael Beasley were the focus of this message and they didn’t take kindly - JaVale more than anyone

I have no problem with Luke calling out McGee, Lance and Beasley based on yesterday's 4th quarter, if he indeed did so. McGee just hasn't been playing well for awhile. Since returning from his flu bout, I'm always left thinking he could be doing more when it comes to getting into position for pick and rolls or lobs... as well as with his defense. As for Lance, he played great against the Clippers but was just bad against GSW with the run of turnovers in the 4th. It's stuff like that which gifts teams the momentum... he needs to cut it out and play smarter. As for Beasley, I like that he tries stuff on the court but he needs to do better on defense and focus on how he can help the team. They have legitimate gripes with Luke's rotations and minutes, but it doesn't excuse a lack of effort and/or focus IMO. They need to cut out the shenanigans and gimmicks, on and off the court, because I don't get the vibe from these three that they're serious about helping lead the team anywhere... unlike with Chandler.

PS: On a lighter note, I'm telling y'all... it's all in the hair! With Javale and Beasley at least. The moment those two clowns go bald or short crop, they'll play like champions.

91 NBA players have had as many isolation possessions as Michael Beasley. He’s #1 in efficiency, followed by LeVert, Harden, and Curry. 1.282 PPP on 39 possessions. Just stupid good.

Bron 29th. Lance 35th. Ingram 37th. Kuz 9th worst


left handed Melo, bout to be traded for right handed Melo... hope no

This is starting to look like the slow motion train wreck that a lot of people predicted it would be. Hoping it doesn't get to that point, but yeah... definitely saw this coming, lol.

Typically LeBron's teams team are in the playoffs or winning the 'chip. If we can do that they can ague & fight until the cows come home.

The typical outcome of a Lebron James team is a run to the Finals.

Don’t worry. Somehow Kobe will swoop in and make this all about him, just to add to the drama...

Not sure what Kobe has to do with this. But I suspect he has an opinion and Jeannie probably already asked him.

The Lakers are going to be a sh!t show until professional adults are hired to do the job.

I suspect the next rift will be LeBron and Magic against Pelinka.

This is the same blue print LeBron tried to follow in Miami but Riley stopped it. It's also the same as what LeBron tried in Cleveland but Gilbert wasn't having it. Freaking Magic is going to not only allow it to happen, he's going to be part of it all.

I don't trust the media, but everyone minus Lebron is in a tough place right now. Imagine hearing your name in trade rumors every day and then being expected to play well against championship caliber teams. Some players are obviously going to crack if they feel the organization isn't behind them.

I say trade Lebron and end this madness.

I already miss last year's team (minus the injuries).

Shams fake and Shams lying are trending on Twitter.

I trust the reporters like Tania who are always there in the Lakers locker room every game and not someone who tells someone who tells Shams.

It’s fake news.
