This is a regular season game and I can understand losing to anyone even to suns but losing to nets while keeping your starters for that long and tiring them out is really insane.

You cannot underestimate the Nets, they are an improving team now, and could be a playoff contender. Lakers lose , that's normal, as normal as the Celtics losing at home against the Suns. The real game is in the playoffs and everyone is finding ways to stay in the top 8 spot to quality.

Lakers really really need to fix this and really just work on a "system" they can build around so they can be more like warriors who has great players but also amazing offensive scheme.

I think they are finding ways to improve their system, in fact their standing has improved, currently no. 4 now in the western race.

Nets beat the Lakers, that would have been a regular thing to say in the previous couple of years but when Lebron is there and you are getting a 20+ point performence out of your least efficient player Lonzo Ball it makes no sense to lose to them. They didn't used any proper bench players as well, they made their players go for 35+ minutes and even played Lebron for 41 minutes, which makes no sense at all.

Message @Hhampuz if you are looking for a CM!

The Utah Jazz just proven they can beat the Warriors at home, there is no luck in here unlike the previous game because of the tip in.
Once again, their defense killed the warriors and despite Mitchell has struggled, they were still able to win through their good outside shooting, Korver with some limited minutes were able to show his value to the team.

Must follow these rumor.

Since Anthony Davis had admitted previously that he want to prioritize NBA championship over big $$$ , one of the team that eyeing on him is the Los Angeles Lakers. There are speculations that Davis will reject the super max contract that New Orleans Pelicans will offered him in the next free agency.

Well even last season, especially after the playoffs exit, many analyst really seeing that Davis will leave Pelicans. And this season, the management currently doing nothing* to improved their roster.

One problem the management of Pelicans must deal with. After the Rondo trade, it seems like they are not moving anymore. They need more deals.

Is Anthony Davis already eating up their salary cap? If that is so, then maybe they are all just waiting for AD's contract to be finished and reset their roster. While on the other hand, AD wants that ring which is impossible with a single man will only. He needs his team mates.

The Pelicans must change their roster next season. AD can't single-handedly get a ring in his team. Lebron went to Heat and teamed up with Wade and Bosh and they got 2 rings. Bryant and Shaq got 3 rings I think together. Splash Brothers + KD got 2 rings together.

Nobody can get a ring alone. I mean you need an all star teammate to win a championship so AD must leave Pelicans and go to a team with an all star player to have a higher chance to get a ring

I would say no.. AD doesn't eating up much the whole team salary cap. His current contract is $127M 5-years contract on which is a usual value on a 5 years contract basis (started 2014). New Orleans wants AD to stay with them that's why as far as the latest speculations are concerned (on which I think is close to happened) , they will offer a $250M max contract extension to him this summer. And I think that will now lead for Pelicans to inability to acquired a somehow good role players.

AD also stated that he is willing to gave up the big offer because he wants to prioritize in acquiring a ring.

Its pretty obvious that AD had eat too much of their cap that they can't make any trades to improved the team. And I agree that AD will leave and go to a team that has a chance to get a ring. His team mates is not responding at this point and maybe it will be too late for them before solving their issues.

It will be very exciting if AD will land in LA.
People would think that they will be the best team in the NBA, of course I would also think that way and they are gonna be better than the warriors.
In every championship Lebron has achieve, he has a back up all star and he need that with the Lakers now.

Is the LA Lakers salary cap really that broad?
I mean they have veterans in their midst and these guys wont just accept little offers. They have managers that will make them think again if the offers are low.

They may need to release a lot of player just so they could receive AD in their roster.

I doubt AD would also accept a small offer since he is now used to large amount of money per year.
This will be a hard task for the LAL management.

I am not entirely sure whats going on with the trade 100% but the deal was sending picks to suns in exchange of sending Ariza to wizards and sending Oubre

A little late, but I still want to comment on this strange and funny failed NBA trade.

It was a three-team deal that would send Ariza to Wizards, Kelly Oubre and Austin Rivers to Memphis, and first reported Dillon Brooks to Suns.

According to Grizzlies, it was MarShon Brooks, not Dillon.

In the end, it turned out that Memphis and Suns had no direct contact during this trade and left Washington to manage the whole process.

Suns thought they would pick Dillon, Memphis thought it was MarShon Brooks, Wizards think they were told Dillon...haha what a mess.

Not surprised that it happened to a team like PHO, this organization is run so poorly for the past 10+ years.

When all is said and done I honestly believe Kevin Durant has a shot at breaking 40 thousand points mark.

Yes that's possible a) if he will remained healthy, b) maintained at least 25 to 30 PPG and c) will not show a sign of slowing down for several seasons to come. That's a hell of effort and really a difficult one to achieved. Even with superstars around (for let's say he decided to stay at Warriors for 2 seasons or above) reaching minimum 25 points per game is kind of usual to him so what if he will be transfer on a team with only few core players.

Anyways early to discussed this for now.

I have not check the latest score difference and the years Kevin could play but he is scoring like its nobodies business and has already covered a lot of grounds yet he is still quite young. If he stays in warriors or goes to another good team with another good player it will take him close to his retirement to pass and he can even postpone his retirement couple years extra just to pass it because it will be such a close number.

However, if he goes to a team where he is the star and there are no others that could play like him, he will probably break the record quite early and retire early as well cementing his HoF status easily. It is just insane to think warriors have been so good for so long now, you think it is just couple years but it has been 4-5 years now.

Tonight is another off-night for Westbrook in terms of shooting but he'll surely get a tripple double win against the bulls.
They easily win against the bull tonight because they are already finding their position in a team, I hope they'll continue this chemistry this season.

Good luck to them, seems like they are a real contender.

Yeah they are a real contender at this moment. I think they have the chemistry that they are finding. Westbrook and George are the top 2 in steals this season and other players are stepping up to help them. Easy win for the Thunder today against the Bulls and a triple double for Westbrook.

Stephen Curry becomes the 5th Warrior with 15,000 regular-season points and Kevin Durant passed Larry Bird for the 33rd place in all time scoring list.

I am shocked with Westbrooks willingness to shoot the ball despite the poor shooting percentage, although they won against the Clippers at home but this guy is not a good example of constant shooter, with a 4/17 shooting night, that's worse for me.
People might say that what's important is they win the game, okay... but please credit that to PG, Westbrook is overrated.

There's a so-called "off-night" on every player even on a "superstar" or "all-star" caliber. There are even times that PG is not doing well while WB is doing good. His the main core of the OKC so he will just shoot. There are lots of big names who have that worst shooting % on a certain game but still willing to shoot the ball.

Although it's not good in some aspects and quiet not a better act in some ways, we just have to be used on it especially on OKC.

Westbrook is one of the most accomplished basketball players we have in our league right now. The only reason why he is so stuck at shooting is that they are not creating a good style of playing as a team to give Westbrook any free shots. Look at Curry for example, he is one of the best shooters in the league and some of the shots he makes are so incredible that sometimes I have hard time believing those shots went in. However even with that type of talent they manage to play the screen game so well that curry constantly gets free shots as well, specially Klay gets amazing off the Drible shots. Westbrook on the other hand gets isolation all day long and try to score over his defender every single time, not because that is who he is but because Billy Donovan is a bad coach who doesn't have a clue how to draw a play.

It is really great to see a center playing with average speed and have some great skills.

Nikola Jokic. He have been really dominating the paint and using his body to score and to create space for his team mates.

He is like more of a Shaq with some new flavors in him.
Denver Nuggets dont have much of a problem shooting the ball because they trust the guy underneath the rim that he might get an offensive rebound.
That is a big boost for a team.

Winning against Toronto is a big deal. Now we can see a new contender for the Finals.

They stayed on the top because of that win.

Westbrook has always been a selfish player but it got worse when Durant left the team. Anyone averaging a triple double for an entire season would have to be a ballhog. He is the kind of guy that plays for stats and his style of play will never bring your team an NBA championship.

The guys a known scorer dude. He will keep ib shooting until his shots fall. Though i agree that that in a way disrupts team play especially with pg being the better one among the two. But russ will be russ.

He scores but it will not be effective comes playoff time because the defense will be focus on him.

A point guard as he is, the main concern is to facilitate the ball and make plays that could give his teammates an open look for them to knock down shots.
It's alright to score but one should focus on their role as a player, not against Westbrook because this guy is a machine but I just wish that he will mature.

Ariza eventually left suns, I mean they signed him for what as an asset ?
Eventually the three team trade may not fall and maybe Memphis will be out of the discussion ?

I am not entirely sure whats going on with the trade 100% but the deal was sending picks to suns in exchange of sending Ariza to wizards and sending Oubre to Memphis. Apparently after that trade failed they did just a straight up trade of Oubre and rivers going to suns and Ariza going to wizards, I don't know if any picks are involved but considering that is a good pick up by suns we can rest assured they are still tanking this year to get a good pick and if they can get a good pick they can definitely try to build around Booker, Ayton and the new guy. That's what Sixers did and that worked out so well for them.
