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.

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
