I believe DK will be in a trade package for a center that Lakers need so desperately as of yesterday. So in next few days DK may be wearing a Utah Jazz uniform.

Last major trade of the magnitude probably is when the Bucks traded Kareem to Lakers in the 70's after having sn MVP season.

I just can't get into this NBA nonsense. Doesn't make my life any better at all.

Here's a quick recap of the Florida game @MAD since you said you missed it.

VP am I wrong in thinking this is bad for DK?

Yeah it’s not looking good. The Jazz suck though so we know he would be getting playing time. Preferably, I would have traded LeBron James and rolled with Luka, AD, and DK. But that’s just me.

Looking like DK will be in some kind of trade package for Walker Kessler on the Jazz.

Horns can get sawed off for all I care.

but theyhelp us out with upcoming games with turds, commodes, and kittty kats

Just reminiscing on great basketball. Everyone now just wants to shoot threes and get paid. Back then they used to have to earn their paycheck and they all played as hard as they could. Larry’s last years of NBA were my first few years of living so I never actually got to watch him play. But he is always someone I wished I could have seen play. Short list of athletes I wished I had gotten to see:

Hank Aaron
Babe Ruth
Larry Bird
Muhammad Ali
Jim Thorpe
Bruce Lee
Jim Brown

good list
at first thought, I'd have Koufax on a 10-player list

I missed the Florida game, looks like it was complete domination from the final score.

I recommend watching the second half which Freak posted (without commercials). It’s a good time. Or at least the highlight clips floating around here from X.

This is gonna be big in Auburn. Don’t they roll their own yard when they feel happy? They may as well drive these to the party.

Yeah I thought about Koufax but I’ve gotten to see Kershaw dominate in this era so that’s a wash for me. If I’m going pitcher, I would probably say Bob Gibson is the one I would have wanted to see.

Makes sense to me but I have a feeling Lebron wouldn’t let that happen.

Can I just be very broad and say MLB from 1950-1984
I was born in 78 but remember sports in 1985 very vividly.
The Sugar Vols and Super Bowl Bears are burnt into my brain.

I couldn't tell you where I was during that time frame & I was a grown ass man then.

Love Kershaw, my Cards owned him in the playoffs.

Your Cards have owned nearly every team in the league throughout their history

Yeah, which makes the last couple of seasons and the upcoming one a hard pill.
