    Kings will no longer have cheerleaders

    PC police in full effect. The thing is, it takes so much skills and perseverance to make these dance teams that they are actually very respected and are considered to be part of the show/game. It's mind boggling that management believes cutting the team would help the cause for women when it's...

    The All-Purpose LOL Lakers thread

    "And so the perception existed among the Lakers' coaching staff that Rich Paul sought to oust Walton. And some players also believed, according to coaching staff members and those players' agents, that Klutch Sports was working to trade them away for a superstar. Given those perceptions, one...

    The All-Purpose LOL Lakers thread

    You are right on about the chemistry thing. The perception that everyone wants to play with Lebron is false. There is a reason why the Lakers faltered so badly after the all star break. No one wanted to play their hearts out for a guy that was casually pushing to trade half of his...

    The All-Purpose LOL Lakers thread

    Not making fun of the Lakers, just speaking truth and I think you are missing the point. Of course Lebron is still a good player, but there aren't many teams that would really give up valuable assets that the Lakers would actually want in return. In a trade, the Lakers would either want a...

    The All-Purpose LOL Lakers thread

    The only way the Lakers turns this thing around quickly is if they get rid of LeBron. Word is Jeanie really wanted to trade him and release the Lakers from the hold of Bron/Rich Paul. I know the public stance now is "we're not trading LeBron". But I'm inclined to think that it's because...

    Tyreke Evans Watch 2K18

    Sad to see for Tyreke. He'll lose 2 years of his prime and about $20-$30 million. The more serious issue for him is the fact that he's gotten himself into drugs. Any of those possibilities listed, (Meth, Cocaine, LSD, Opiates) are not easy to quit and get himself out of. He needs to keep...

    Allegations against Luke Walton (split from new coach thread)

    Magic supposedly stepped down abruptly because he was CC'ed emails between Rob Pelinka and Jeanie Buss discussing his poor performance. LA media had previously said that Magic never shows up for work and wasn't willing to put in the effort required to do a good job in this business...

    [NBA] Western Conference Semifinals

    Yup, and that's the issue with the Rockets or any other team against the Warriors. Even a highly capable team like the Rockets have to play almost perfect in order to beat them in the playoffs. The Warriors have 3 guys that can drop 40 and take over on any given day. The Rockets have only 1...

    Allegations against Luke Walton (split from new coach thread)

    Yes, a great article about the state of the case against Walton. Looks like the investigations are going to drag on for a while as there is so much to look at and so many people to interview possibly. I'm still curious as to when the lawsuit was actually filed and did Tennant's attorneys...

    Allegations against Luke Walton (split from new coach thread)

    The reality for cases like this is that there is rarely any evidence other than the words of the victim and those that she may have told, which is not really "Evidence". No one really goes meet someone with the cameras rolling thinking the might be assaulted and Walton's lawyer is riding on...

    [NBA] Western Conference Playoffs, Round 1

    PG13 played well. The problem for the Thunder is they are poor shooters as a team and their team play sucks.

    Allegations against Luke Walton (split from new coach thread)

    Where did they say Kelli is/was good friends with the wife? What I remember reading was they both played volleyball and she knew Luke's wife and Luke from the volleyball circle for 10 years. Probably because they both played for PAC10 schools at the time. Kelli played for USC and Luke's wife...

    Allegations against Luke Walton (split from new coach thread)

    From the article that I read, it stated that her former fiancee got into that motorcycle accident just after they went out for a few times. If that's the case, that means they got engage later on after his hospital stay and most likely during his long recovery. I know it's easy to say the...

    Allegations against Luke Walton (split from new coach thread)

    I don't think there is a definite right or wrong in this. It's just a difference of opinion and it depends on a lot of things, as you pointed out yourself.

    Haha, I think they said it was held at the attorney's office.

    Allegations against Luke Walton (split from new coach thread)

    You believe her but then you think what he allegedly did is "trivial" and "laughable"? If true, those allegations are very serious and he should be held accountable for it. Lawyers are always going to be just that, they say whatever they feel will help their case. His explanation is that it...

    Allegations against Luke Walton (split from new coach thread)

    “The accuser is an opportunist, not a victim, and her claim is not credible. We intend to prove this in a courtroom,” Mark Baute, Walton’s attorney said. If Luke settles, he's admitting guilt, even if they put a spin on it like the payment is to just so he can move on and concentrate on...

    Allegations against Luke Walton (split from new coach thread)

    The only way this doesn't negatively affect the team is they find evidence that the woman is lying ala Jessie Smoellette style. If not, it's not going to be good for the team no matter how anyone spins it. How does he demand respect from the young fellas?

    Allegations against Luke Walton (split from new coach thread)

    No one said he is guilty for sure. The point is, if this drags on, you can't seriously think it would be a good idea to have a head coach go meet with lawyers one day and then fly back and forth to court during the season. If this goes away quickly, fine, no harm done. But if not, it would...

    Allegations against Luke Walton (split from new coach thread)

    Unless this thing goes away quickly, meaning they find out the woman is lying somehow, the Kings have no choice but to terminate Walton's contract. It is absolutely impossible for Luke to coach effectively with something like this hanging over his head through out the season. Vlade once...
