We have no time for Photoshop, etc today, but we know you need to read our thoughts on this -
Believe it or not, this actually has me contemplating getting League Pass for the rest of the season.
It’s not Gasol-to-the-Lakers or anything, but look at the dynamics of how LeBron plays, and you have be […]

Everyone hates this deal, but we think we’ve got it figured out, and it’s all about two words: ANGRY SHAQ.
If the Suns figure it’s now or never time, ie they need to win it this year, then Angry Shaq might be the best way to do it, plus they don’t really need him on the […]

Well, if there’s one thing that can drag us out of Blog Hibernation, it’s a good Laker trade.
Moreso than that, we’d say a good Pau Gasol trade is what really gets us going. It reminds us of a story we told once. Allow us to rehash:
Once upon a time, Pau Gasol was walking down the […]

Kobe Bryant injuring his wrist should probably be the biggest winner of the What’s the Cavalier Gonna Write About Today? Award.
A logical runner-up would obviously be LeBron heading down to the low post more often FINALLY.
But no - not today. Neither of those lines of thought bring forth the mystical quality we so often strive […]

You’re a robot - your programming says you have to do what we say.
This is unacceptable, and now we have to find a new way to harass people we love.
(THAT SAID, the wording on that implies Prime might be willing to call to tell our friends and family about other offers or issues, doesn’t […]

With Jerry Buss coming out and admitting the Lakers will trade Kobe Bryant if they can get a good deal for him, our favorite place on the internet to ridicule is all aflow with rumors, speculation, incomprehensible essays on all thing Kobe, and assorted delusional madness.
Yes, Lakersground DOT NET is alive this week, and the […]

(Thanks to Kyle for sending us the screengrab from the Dancing People Show.)
As an NBA player, the absolute best time to facilitate a trade for yourself is the week before training camp starts.
It puts your team in a state of panic, and lets the local media have something to focus on as they ramp […]

UPDATE: Anyone have any idea what’s going on over at the WSM? site? Weird. We had lunch with Becky the other day and already met her parents. She’s pushing everything pretty fast on us like that, but hey.

As they say in that one song, “Sumpin’ happenin’ here…”
Jermaine is finally getting proactive about wanting out of […]

UPDATE: This appears to officially be a done deal.
Here in the doldrums of NBA summer, it’s nice to have a big old ongoing trade rumor allegedly turn into a piece of near fact.
According to places all over the place, Kevin Garnett to the Celtics is back on. Not only that - it’s supposed to be […]

Not to step all over Jack Cobra’s Friday toes, but we have to step in here and comment on two things - one on-topic, and one off.
First of all, the latest Kevin Garnett to Los Angeles rumor is as follows:
This rumor is flying around Celtic forums:
Wolves get: Andrew Bynum, Gerald Green, Theo Ratliff, Kwame Brown
Lakers […]
