It must be hard being a Sacramento Kings fan. [URL=http://grantland.com/the-triangle/boogie-cousins-kings-karl-lightning-round/]http://grantland.com/the-triangle/boogie-cousins-kings-karl-lightning-round/[/URL]

There are only three.

Love opts out. I think he is going to be a Laker. Maybe even Portland if they can't re-up LeMarcus Aldridge. Love's a west coast kind of guy.

Not really news, it's been common knowledge for a while.

Love wants to win, none of those teams are title contenders even with K-Love. If he leaves, it's probably a sign and trade to another contender since the Cavs may be more interested in keeping Tristan Thompson, and they can pay K-Love the most.

I would be extremely shocked if K-Love went to the Lakers. Extremely.

He doesn't fit in Cleveland. He became a 7 foot jump shooter (abeit a good one) and isn't the inside presence he was before. The Cavs should have kept Wiggins.

Agree to disagree. He didn't fit in right away, but started to hit his stride at the end of the season, and was having a great series against Boston in the playoffs until that jackass pulled his arm out of the socket.

EDIT: With that said, I wouldn't be super surprised if he left, but I don't expect the Lakers.

He wants to win. Main reason he left Minny was because he can't carry a team to the playoffs on his own. Let's face it, 40 year old Kobe isn't bringing that trainwreck deep into the playoffs even with Kevin Love...the West is too good, and Love knows it. I'd be less surprised if he went to Boston. I think people are overplaying the West Coast thing.

I hope Russell doesn't end up as a Knick. He would be doomed to obscurity.

He might not be the most dominant athletic person, but he's going to be a long term solid NBA player.

Well it looks like the Knicks drafted a madeup player.

It still kind of makes me chuckle that the Knicks drafted a guy who looks like the next Andrea Bargnani. Booing the guy wasn't very classy though.

The problem is that Europeans in the NBA, in general-****ing suck. Only three Euros drafted in the lottery have made it to an all-star game: Marc and Pau, and Dirk. Some analysts say he's more Dirk than Darko, but I'm skeptical. I don't think Hedonja will be very good either, probably because his nickname is "Croatian J.R Smith", which sounds like a disaster. Let's take a look at European NBA lottery picks since 2000, shall we? 2014: Dario Saric-Ruling still out, hasn't even played an NBA game 2013: None(Smart!, although The Greek Freak and Dennis Schröder appear to be good players, however, they aren't white Euro stiffs :-P) 2012: None(Smart!!) 2011: Enes Kanter-A bust thus far, more or less Jonas Valančiūnas-Not quite a bust, but not a great player for being drafted 5th overall Jan Vesely-LOL Yikes! 2010: None(Smart!!!) 2009: Ricky Rubio-Wow! A decent player! But he's Spanish, so he hardly counts :-D.

2008: Danilo Gallinari-Not worth the sixth pick 2007: None 2006: Andrea Bargnani-Uh yeah. Thabo Sefolosha-Not bad! 2005: Fran Vazquez-Never even came over to the NBA Yaroslav Korelev-Who?

Well now they have Kobe, D'Angelo Russell and Julius Randle (who missed all of last season, which assisted the train-wreck). I think with Love they are at the very least a playoff team, even in the West. And Russell and Randle will both be around for a while as well.

Yeah, they're a playoff team with love. But my post said they aren't going deep in the playoffs. And even healthy, I still think that's true. Spurs will improve, Rockets, Clippers, Grizzlies, Golden State...all better than the Lakers with another great player.

    • Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

    • Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

    • Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs. 
    • Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
