All the Warriors have to do is get to the playoffs, and then “Playoff Jimmy” is activated. Remember he’s responsible for being the only play-in team to knock off a #1 seed and went to the Finals in ‘23.
Luka didn’t want Williams for the lob he wants his to bail him out on his weak defense
Jimmy Butler is a cancer to a locker room. Unfortunately, the GSW now have stage 4.
Lakers about to average 125PPG.
Just like the NBA planned it, lakers are a top 5 team again, that should help the owners revenue
At this point in his career I would estimate that Bron WANTS to be Robin.
If Heat culture didn't take on Jimmy, Warriors culture won't either. $55.5 mil per year! For what, 40-50 games per year (that's just the usual injuries alone, not conduct suspensions).
LEBRON AS BATMAN AND LUKA AS IRONMAN 🤔🤷🏾
Mark Williams was on the Hornets. The Hornets. The lowly, inconsistent, poorly coached Hornets. And he was still getting 16pts a game there. He's going to be something special on the Lakers. When Lebron, and Luka, get him situation and he knows where and when to be…just watch. He's 7'3", good bulk, athletic, can block and play defense.
These two are confused way too much.
How are Lakers doing this being a 3rd apron team😂
LeBron talked about turning the reigns over to AD, who didn't take them. It IS Luka's team now, and LeBron is good with it.
Butler is a good player but he's bad for any team due to his attitude.
It's just a matter of time he clashes with Draymond.
Ive totally check out on the NBA too many Divas
Your going to be sure about denver
Butler will find a way to blow up the Warriors, as well…
You mean Mavericks are moving to Vegas!! Hilarious that little Jewish woman beat all of the NBA!! LMAO
Why is ESPN political?
LeBron is still Batman. Luka is Nightwing!
Correction: "HIGHWAY ROB" Pelinka
All these trades won’t beat Boston
Im here for the video games at the end of the show.
Kuminga needa to go to the Hornets
Umm but isn't that all AD said??
My God. These dinosaurs still have jobs.
Waste Management is going to be lit!
If GSW doesn’t make the play-in or playoffs, I’d suggest firing Kerr next season and trading Green.
Make pull pork in Crocker pot
18 game season? What why?
This obsession with trying to make LeBron out to be a Robin is ridiculous. Luka himself doesn't look at LeBron as a Robin.
I don’t understand why Lebron needs a top player at EVERY SINGLE POSITION just to contend… if he is who ppl say he is he should win with role players & Luka as a superstar
Comparing Mark Williams to AD just shows Tony doesn’t watch the NBA.
AD is one of the best defensive players in the world. Williams is lazy and not a tenth of the defender AD is.
Just because someone is African American, athletic and tall doesn’t mean they’re a good defender
i’m scared draymond clashes with jimmy
Lakers didnt hit the lottery, they lost their future in trading Knecht. I dont think they realize what they gave up. As for Luka, his youth years are ending which means his lack of work ethic will no longer be masked by youth.
LA hurt themselves this trade deadline
GSW, Butler is not KD.
Warriors fell off because buddy heild didn’t pan out. I feel like if they would’ve kept Wiggins and let kumenga go they would’ve had a better chance. If Durant would’ve came back they would’ve had a great chance at the chip
You can’t sit here and say Lebron is a top 5 player and still the same time make an excuse for him saying he’s to old. 😊
Ownership wanted a big move, so the front office was under pressure to do it.
Jimmy is just about his money and he knows this is last big contract
Boeing if Porkins does not discuss something absolutely stupid.
Draymond needed a new sparing partner!! Steph, Kerr, helped enable Draymond,, so those two are guilty in this trade, the only way for Steph, to win another championship, is to get traded to a real contender.. the Warriors are old and pathetic..
Luka Will Not Play Lebron's Whipping Boy.. That's A Fact.
When's the last time Tony and Michael were in the same studio doing PTI?
unpopular opinion.. Wiggins is the better player in 2025.
Why do we like Draymond Green?
Why are these Muppets still on the air???? 🙄🤡🤡
I really appreciate your efforts! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
they're grown men, dray seems thrilled to have jimmy joining them, he wants that aggressive energy on the team! steph will have to navigate and referee a bit, but i'm sick of all the high school antics, just play ball, adapt your game and make it work, enough whining stalling and complaining, GET TO WORK!
