TU has converted his pessimism about everything into pessimism about our pessimism. Does that make him an optimist or just a 5D pessimist?

God willing.

There’s part of me that’s reassured tha even at 9th, there’s a >20% chance we keep the pick. I’d say that’s pretty good, all things considered, and knowing it’d be top 5. But jumping from 20% to 61% with just one position is crazy. And only a 61% chance to keep it at 8 is even more crazy.

We're currently in the 8th spot, the ceiling of how far we can go with the protections on the pick. In our conference we're 4.5 games behind the Kings and Clippers in the tank race, and 5 games behind the Pelicans. In the Eastern conference we're 1.5 games behind Charlotte, 3 games behind...

Audition him tonight and send him over in exchange for making their pick a swap if it hits in the protected range.

Did anyone else read this as Love and not Lowe? I was shocked, first not knowing he had a podcast, but just him saying that publicly.

We need to lose but it’s also the Lakers… so…

Do we have any evidence for the ‘Ryan wants to win’ narrative other than all of us collectively assuming that the basketball decision is to lose, and we project that on the one we assume to be the professionally reasonable person (GM) and assume that Ryan is the fan whose emotions cloud business...

As someone who follows neither football nor college sports, and so I only see this very peripherally, what is it about Sitake that makes you feel that way? I know when he first started there were a few disappointing seasons. They had a great year this year and it seems I’ve noticed more hype on...

Rob Reiner and his wife. This is terrible. https://abcnews.go.com/US/2-found-dead-los-angeles-home-owned-director/story?id=128403864 I had just gotten around to watching Spinal Tap 2 this week. Based on what I was hearing, it was actually much better than anticipated. I felt it was on par...

League took heat last year over Luka trade and them winning. So they follow that up by having Utah grab the BYU guy from the back of the lottery?

Or Evan Fournier or Jae Crowder or Draymond Green or Khris Middleton. But that’s hindsight, obviously. Or had we have just lost two more games, including if just one of those games were against Golden State, then you’d have been walking into the draft with the #8 pick and the #14 pick (assuming...

In 2012 we owed our top-14 protected pick (meaning it’s your pick if you miss the playoffs) to the Minnesota Timberwolves from the AP Jefferson deal. There was no contingency if it didn’t convey. We ended up conveying this in exchange for the 8th seed and the privilege of being swept by the Spurs.

It actually started with the previous regime’s lack of creativity on back center options, but I feel you. Had we just signed Udoh we wouldn’t be in this situation.

Elden Campbell. https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2025-12-02/former-laker-elden-campbell-known-for-his-effortless-style-dies-at-57 I really wanted him on the tail end of the Stockton and Malone era.

I would never suggest building around someone like Zion, in fact I don’t know that I really ever fully embrace the idea of “building around” anyone, but if you were doing something like that, I’d imagine someone like Lauri would be at the top of the list to pair him with. This reminds me of a...
