From Suki Thind, Lakers Nation: I recently wrote an article on how Lakers fans were stuck with Mike D’Antoni, and how we as fans might as well embrace him and see how far he can take the team in a restructuring period.

Batman and Robin. John Lennon and the Beatles. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade (had to throw that one in for good measure).As for relationships, friendships and dynamic duos […]

From Jared Dubin, Grantland: The 2013 free-agency signing period isn’t even over yet, but already the basketball world can barely wait for the summer of 2014, when LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and Carmelo Anthony can all become free agents. Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that the Lakers will be armed with […]

From Sukhi Thind, Lakers Nation: While Metta World Peace probably doesn’t know himself what he plans to do after being amnestied by the Lakers last week, contemplating retirement or playing in China being just a couple options being weighed in Peace’s head, I for one don’t think he should retire. Additionally, while I hate the fact that World […]
