Like I've said before, Vlade will be out of work next season. But who cares about the lowly sacto queens? We've got much bigger problems to worry about on our hands.

Either this lady Tennant is a really big Lakers fan that she's never brought this up during Luke's tenure with the Lakers or Luke just stopped paying her hush money.

And please let's stop with the "Why is she just coming out with this now?" stuff.
In any scenario, I hope none of this is true. Nobody wins there. |
If she gets any type of settlement then she wins here.
Not only did Luke write her the foreword she requested but she shows her appreciation by suing him for money. Win - win. |

Well, that's true with or without this story and with or without sexual assault allegations in general.
I just hope the implications of your statement here is not that there is something inherently wrong with masculinity ... because there's not.
There is something wrong, however, with men's ability to properly lead, be patient, and live a life of humility.
Like I said though, these problems are almost entirely independent of this event.
Men can do their best to avoid these type of situations by ONLY marrying or being with a woman who fully and completely accentuates and understands your way of life and desires in a very honest way.
That means that if you know you like OPP, she has to be okay with it. This little tidbit is extremely important because when you marry a woman that understands your need for other women you become less sexually repressed, which leads to less instances where you are overly aggressive and "thirsty" for OPP.
I'm not referring to serial offenders like Weinstein and Cosby -- they were both lazy and drunk with power (many in their positions are) -- but moreso the common man who finds himself around attractive women.
No matter how high your stress level, how bad you think you need "it", your sexual desires must never supercede your proclivity towards rational thought.
I have no idea if Walton is innocent or not, but in all situations, a man mustn't ever be thirsty for women. If your "mind-boning" game is where it should be you'll never be in situations where you're required to be the uber-agressor. A real man knows that he's the prize in any exchange -- she must earn him.
When men learn how to properly lead their women and families and learn true patience and humility, they can drop the "I got to have some right now"/dope fiend-mentality and, instead, adopt a mentality of kingship where she must earn the honor of your presence ... not the other way around.
Just an old man nugget from Pesci. Y'all carry on.

Really dissapointed in some of you
Love Luke....hope it is not true...innocent until proven guilty
but
You money grab people need to check yourselves.....I deal with this and ppl emotionally handle this in different ways.....just because it didnt happen right after the incident means NOTHING (if it did)
knee jerk reactions on this stuff look bad both ways |

Couldn’t have said it better myself, but I’ll try anyway. Don’t be petty.

Innocent until proven guilty. Always. Due process exists to protect its citizens, not persecute them.

| If you think the Lakersground replies are horrible I suggest you don't search her name on twitter. People are being very vicious with her. Again if you don't understand why a sexual assault victim would think twice about reporting then I don't know what to tell you. |

You? Definitely not me, I’ve never sexually assualted anyone nor been accused of it.
If guys are jumping on women out there and forcing things then find them and tell them to be better, I’m good. Don’t lump me in with these creeps
Just cuz I have a twig and berries breh. |
I generalize. But seriously, there’s a lot, maybe even the majority of our sex, just seem lost af. If she’s trying to get you to hit her (from a man’s perspective) you take a long drive and pay the speeding ticket like all the other sane men out there. |
I always tell young men and boys that your keys are your best friend in a relationship with a woman in which you are cohabitating, so I agree with you.
I'd just add that not enough "good" men are teaching young ones how to manage their own emotions while in relationships with the opposite sex.
Many young guys are left to figure things out on their own absent of wise male counsel, and that's a shame because the biological principles involved in male and female relationships hasn't changed much in over a century -- the proper manner for the male to interact with the female should be passed down from generation to generation.

I lost all faith in the #MeToo movement the moment one of their figureheads turned out to be a rapist, pedophile and child molester. How many people are using the movement as a shield for their own transgressions? |
99% of the time, anything that uses the term "movement" behind it is suspect, shady, and has nefarious motives.

I have zero sympathy for all these "women" who come out years later to claim all this BS MeToo movement nonsense because they didn't get the promotion or the role or the exclusive interview they thought they were getting going up to a man's hotel room in the middle of the night.
Rosanne Barr described them best not too long ago. Nothing is gonna happen to Luke and nothing is gonna happen to Harvey Weinstein. |
One thing I didn't expect today in the Lakers Lounge was Harvey Weinstein defenders. Let alone someone that quotes Roseanne when a sexual assault allegation happens. |
I like how he put women in quotes. Like it's in dispute that they are women.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s trying to cash in by making up stuff. |
She had a career as a reporter. She figured "id rather fabricate a sexual assault and 'cash in'"?
You pull a lot of stuff out of your ass and we all tolerate it because it's harmless, but this is super over the line. |
Question: what does her career as a reporter have to do with her integrity? I'd venture absolutely nothing as the correct answer.
How about we stop picking sides, let the facts come out (if they even come out at all)... and then you guys can judge if you want to? Until then, anything is a possibility, i.e., either he did it... or she's making it up. 50-50 chance for each. |
Thank you |
After talking about this with my wife, we came to this conclusion, we have nothing to go on at this point, just need to wait for the facts to come out. They usually do.

Yes, because it's very desirable for women to have the fact that they were sexually assaulted made public, to be accused of lying, to be threatened by strangers, and to potentially experience professional repercussions. Great analysis! |
We have no idea if this is true. There are countless instances of false rape reports. Look at the UVA rolling stone scandal, duke lacrosse, Kobe Bryant case, etc etc. Don’t be so quick to believe one way or another. |

Innocent until proven guilty we don’t know what happened. Who goes to a Hotel to work on a paper? Nothing good ever happens late night in a hotel room for married people.

There’s a difference between innocent until proven guilty and saying from the jump that the accuser is lying. |
