~snip.

I have watched some of the camp training videos, and they also said Ball is still not in full contact. They thought Ball was supposed to be healed in the Training camp but no. Just taking part in the exercises and not in the scrimmage.

With the plays that they have, I think it wouldn't be a worry to the adjustments; probably they already did and discussed it.

Shoot. That hurts. But if he is doing some exercises then maybe it is just a mild injury by now. They might just be doing some test if he could somehow move his body.
Well, as long as he is there to see the game plays then I think they are still in good position.

But he really needs to get healthy before the start of the season.
This may be the possible starters of the Lakers team.

Lonzo Ball-Kenatvious Caldwell-Pope-Brandon Ingram-LeBron James-JaVale McGee

If I am right they may put Kuzma in the 2nd team with Rondo as point. It is like a football team out there. There is a team for offense and also for defense. Grin

Why do you think that he didn't mention Lakers?

He ain't going to Lakers, i mean he still can be traded, but will not commit to sign a long term deal. Yesterday, i read some of these "league source tell'' reports that he was initially interested in Lakers but that was before LeBron joining the team. I guess not everyone is super-hyped to play with passive-aggressive drama queen.

The obvious choice would be Knicks, but they don't have much except for Kevin Knox and Hardaway Jr.
Don't discard Jerry West though..

Butler wants to be the superstar of the team like he was in the Chicago Bulls.
Now, he is hoping to land a team where he can lead, yeah you are right, he could be a great help with the Knicks but lets see how this trade
rumor will end.

Have you guys watched the training video from lakers twitter ?

That's probably the last thing you should watch/ judge a team by.
It's like all these off-season individual workout videos all over the internet, where dudes don't miss a shot. For example, Hoodie Melo from last year. Grin

source: https://twitter.com/SInow/status/1042473268530360321

Preferred destinations he would consider signing long term - Knicks, Clippers and the Nets
That possibly means no TimberBulls! Cry

For me, I expect this to happen. Maybe Butler doesn't want how Coach Tom is coaching his players or he doesn't want his old teammates Cheesy

.

For long term, I think Clippers will the best team Butler will fit. I think hes veteran experience will help young players there. Butler and Williams will be a good duo I think but not as good as other duos. Knicks?? Hmmm maybe he and Porzingis combination. Nets??? Hmmmm he doesn't fit there.

Why do you think that he didn't mention Lakers?

Of the teams that we speculate for him to be traded, I would like to see him with Lakers if there is a possibility.
There is always a change that we do not expect will happen and I like him to be in the team that is hungry to reach the playoffs and that is the lakers.

It seems like lakers have build a team that has proper players on great positions with each teaching the youngsters how to play maybe except at center position where its just mcgee at this point but lakers knows that centers are now "tall PF" type players.

Yes saw it days ago on my news feed on Facebook being shared by a certain NBA fanpage.

Just didn't saw Rajon Rondo in action. The way the highlights has shown, we can see that they are not a championship caliber team compare to the dominant teams today but has chances to fight for the trophy. Lakers did a great job sacrificing several seasons to build this lineup. And they are not done yet as obviously they are supposed to get another superstar next FA.

A shooting school would be amazing if Dirk manage to have that and for sure many will enroll to it especially those aspiring players and young potentials.

Honestly he's always there to mentor those aspiring players. In Germany, he's one of the instructor of those players who are part of their delegation in international events (FIBA for example).

We all talk about how lebron came to lakers and expects to get at least one more ring in 1-2 years and spending this year as just waiting period for next years FA however lakers are getting something out of this, they are getting lebron to teach young players to play like him. A great master teaching a student type deal.

Welll it is Magic who is behind so maybe he really did that for a reason.
Looked for veteran players who have reached playoffs and most off them are champions.
With Kyle Kuzma, Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram getting used to their kind of game, the Lakers is already a winner at that point.
Imagine investing with this players with just a little amount and then suddenly they could be stars even if they will be behind this veterans as a second team.
I would really like to see how fast they will adapt with them.

One of the reasons why other players still stay at old age.
1. Love of the game.
2. They are acquiring enough money for retirement.

40 is mostly the age they retire. After that there will be no money entering in their accounts.

They still got 30-40 years to live and I dont think the money they got from playing basketball can afford that.
Add up the life they got used which is mostly expensive.

So business will be their option since they cannot be accepted in office works for that age.

I do think Dirk is a wise man. His Teacher might have already prepared him for that.

Passion for the game surely is the main reason why they can't leave the game though they are too old enough for it. I don't want to dig some of his life decisions on how wise he is with financial management but he can still get a job after that.

I remember Yao Ming when he retired, he got a contract to have a tour around the world to become an advocate of something so that can also happen to Dirk if he's out of NBA.

Yao's story is way different with Dirk.
If you are living in a communist country then it will be a different rule.
It is like your momey is being halved as always for the sake of the government.
That is why Yao have his own television channel way back. Somehow I think this is because he is giving a big share for his country.

Maybe a shooting school business will really fit for Dirk.

Yes they have their different story, I'm just giving an example on what happened to Yao after retirement. I don't want to dig more about their government or so.

A shooting school would be amazing if Dirk manage to have that and for sure many will enroll to it especially those aspiring players and young potentials.

Sorry about that.
I just remembered that big television screen where I see Yao most of the time and that is why I suddenly talked also about their government.

Correct, a shooting school would fit Dirk specially how he does the proper way to shoot to avoid blocks.

Examples of bad shooting positions are Shawn Marion, Lonzo Ball and also Steph Curry.
Yes, Curry is one of those kids who shoots like the ball is so heavy. Hands came from the waist before pulling it up.
It is an easy block for the defender since he is also small.

If rookies will have the same problem then probably Dirk could make them change without risking the shooting percentage.
Basketball in perfection.

I agree that some of the old players are playing because they love it. They find basketball as part of their lives already that it will be hard for them to quit it. Money is already there but their passion is the one that stays them in NBA.

For Dirk, I think when he retires, there will be another door that will open for him. If you can see, some players are now commentators already. Some became coaches and GM of the team. I think Dirk will likely be the same as them. There will be always opportunity for him for his contributions in NBA.

There is a big possibility because Dirk is one of the Legends in NBA but that is all up to him, we never know his personal life.
Whatever the progress of the team this coming season, it cannot be denied that when Dirk will retire, his Jersey will be hang in the court of Dallas Mavericks.

Opportunities are endless for dirk after his nba career. Or he can even continue on with his franchise outside the court. The guy knows that his years of active competition is almost over but the guy can still produce good numbers at this point in his career

I agree with that.

He still have that hot hands as they call it.
Remember Hakeem Abdul Olajuwon, who is giving guidance with Clint Capela.
Tim Duncan which is also helping Aldridge with his posting stance and other stuffs.
Steve Nash also have some tutorials with how to shoot properly.

Dirk will be one of them but this time when it comes to shooting when you are a tall person. His customer could be Porzingis and maybe some new recruits of the Dallas Mavericks.

Dirk is not playing because he needs money, neither vince. These dudes made a lot of money and thankfully not one of those people who go broke right after they retire, iverson was one of those people, he was broke right after he stopped playing. During these years iverson still doesn't have proper finances. Dirk and Vince is not like that they have a lot of money and they do not have to worry about money anymore, they can retire today and never have to work for money ever again.

Nevertheless, these guys are just basketball players, they do not have anything else on their minds and they do not know what to do when the game is over.
