This.

Finally!

Triple header christmas day.

Lakers need a PG, it's one of their biggest weaknesses IMO.

Lakers need a PG badly, it's one of their biggest weakness IMO.

Yeah Derick Fisher needs to go.

Go Detroit.

Yeah, Fish can't cut it no more. Blake is a serviceable back-up, but he's no starter.

Should be interesting to see how Mike Brown runs the Lake Show.

He is just there to sit on the bench. Kobe runs the lake show.

lol

KD's going to be the scoring champ again, and win the MVP this season .

Westbrook is the only player in the league that can stop KD from winning the scoring title, lol.

Who knows. Kobe is rejuvenated. The Mamba blood be dripping.

Timmy might retire this season. :'(

I wonder what the Magic will do this season ? they gotta have a good year or Superman is gonna get the fack outta there.

Yup...and Miami needs to play team ball to win the title. LBJ needs to show up in the 4th quarters.

the Heat would have won last year if Lebron would have played all 4 quarters.

Until he gets that competitive drive the Heat will continue to lose games they should win. But the rematch game on christmas will be interesting.

Westbrook is gotta pass that rock...

Durant gotta be able to break free from his defender first doe...

Deal is done.

They've only agreed to a tentative settlement. The deal still needs to be approved by both the owners and players.

Man I hope not.

Ima have faith that we do get the season started on christmas.

My 8-year-old nephew: "Why don't I see Jordan in Bulls? NBA 2k11 and 2k12 Bulls has Jordan. He is a very good player. Why is he not playing? Is he sick? (I think he meant injured?)" Nyahahaha!

Well Magic is a weakness of Superman.... Nyahahahaha!

If the lakers get chris paul and dwight howard they might win the chip this season.

How would it be a sad site to see?

So I heard that O might send CP3 to LA for Gasol and Odom...not a bad deal.

Chris Paul is officially a Laker...Howard not far from behind. Yeah LA will be fine without Jackson and looks like in good care when Kobe retires. Paul and Howard are the future of the Lakers and will take over as franchise players when Kobe retires. LA did not win 17 championships for nothing....alot of teams should look at LA success and learn from it.

Chris Paul goes to the Lakers. 

@King Saturn said:

how do you know the Lakers can get Dwight Howard ?

Well its no guarantee but they can get him this offseasn when he becomes a free agent.

Already got Paul. Now if Lakers get Howard then daaaaaaaaaamnnnnn..... What a force to reckon with.

If Dwight goes to Lakers, he wins a few championships, where would he go next? I bet he'll be in Miami for about three seasons then Suns for one, Cavs for one, then Celtics for one thenr retires. Who agrees? :D Hehehe! And since there is a Superman reboot coming to theaters, I'm thinking who better to play John Henry Irons than Howard. Hehehehe!
