Ben Simmons, anyone? Actually, there are a lot of good wing and big prospects in the top 5 next year...

Simmons, Labisserie from Kentucky, Ingram from Duke, Jaylen Brown from Cal. I'd be happy with any of them right now. Although, I've seen very little of any of them. Just reading about them.

But top 3 protected? God damnit. Our luck...

Not if Philly gets him first.

Philly can't f**k with our tank game.

Man, f**k.

This is such a bizarre year. This whole Kobe thing. It's f**king with my emotions. I know logically speaking he's hurting the team, hurting our young guys development, and really this is just a farewell tour for him. He DESERVES this, don't get me wrong. But he needs to stop playing like a flaming jackass. Get the guys involved. Do something instead of jack up shots.

I don't care about wins-losses man, I care about development. PROGRESS. We aren't making it.

So my brother is a big Lakers/Kobe fan. He mentioned the idea of driving to Indiana for the Lakers @ Pacers game.

Gonna do it. Never been to a NBA game before.

Totally agree. I like seeing him get the props, but every time they pass it to him early in the shot clock I'm like f**k man chill out with that. lol

My first game was Jordan's last year with the Wizards @ Orlando. One of my dumb ass friends almost ruined it trying to get Sapps autograph. We had really good seats and W.Sapp was a few rows in front us. All game he's trying to figure out how to creep down there. So in the 3rd quater my other friends yells "hey Warren" he looks back, then he says "my friend wants your autograph but he's too much of a p***y" Sapp chuckled and the security guard was like "whoa, whoa, watch the language" then some drunk dude a few rows back yells "f**k you" pretty funny.

Byron Scott is largely seen as "an innocent bystander" in the farewell tour of Kobe Bryant, according to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers are unlikely to either fire Scott or bench Bryant despite their struggles.

Scott signed a four-year, $17 million deal with the Lakers in 2014, but the contract is only guaranteed through 16-17.
