An emotional James says he had been pondering retirement "for weeks" and that tonight's loss was "the last straw". James also said he can't "emotionally handle" playing 82 games with teammates who "shoot like Make A Wish kids".

The Lakers are shooting 33-148 on 3s this season. That 22.3% 3-pt FG pct is the WORST over any 4-game span by any team within a season in NBA history (min. 125 3-pt FGA). @ESPNStatsInfopic.twitter.com/eG3qtc2JcD

Might see if someone would trade you a pack of socks for Hield, though.
How retarded do you have to be if you are the Kings to trade Haliburton? I just...what? [Reply]

He had two major injuries and got older. He's not the player he once was. But for a relatively long period of time he was playing at a superstar level. He's about 70% likely to make the HoF someday. While I think I agree that he's not a top 75 all-time player, He's REAL close to the top 100, if not right inside it.
Klay showing off his rings to Devin Booker who has proven to be a more productive scorer in this league than Klay has ever been would be the equivalent of Sammy Watkins telling Calvin Johnson he’s a better receiver than he was. Klay’s best season doesn’t come close to Book’s production. He isn’t even close to the superstar level that Booker is on.
Klay peaked years ago as a borderline superstar. He’s never even been the go to guy on his own team. 6 years of productive basketball mixed in with the rest of his career filled with injuries and depleted production somehow equals a 70% chance of being a HOFer? Get the **** of here with that nonsense. :-) [Reply]

Kyrie just couldn't let the Lakers get all the headlines this year.
In fairness - Kyrie won that round.
He addressed the initial question in a thoughtful and well reasoned way. Then the reporter wanted to try to trap him and Kyrie called him on his bullshit.
Kyrie isn't the villain in that clip at all. [Reply]
Grizzlies getting their asses kicked tonight in Utah. Lauri Markkanen is having an incredible start to the season. He’ll definitely be a fan favorite for the Jazz. Looks like an upgrade over Bogdanovic already. They’re definitely one of the major early surprises to me. They’ve got some good pieces in place with absolutely no expectations. [Reply]

No, he's just an idiot that thinks being a contrarian is equivalent to having intelligence. I've lost count on how many times this guy has actively tried to make himself a story over the past few years. He's going to end up in LA next year too, which should prove even more hilarious. [Reply]
