LOL. That's incredible. Someday there will probably be mainstream athletic products that contain cannabis.

Precursor of the stretch forward role, one time allstar, former Sun, and perennial blazer Cliff Robinson is launching a 'sports cannabis' brand. Uncle Spliffi.
I never thought of it in those terms, but that is so correct.

Loved Cliff when he was with us. Wish we had better frontcourt players around him at the time.

Speaking of cannabis, it seems to me that Beasley is off of it. He seems a lot sharper for the Heat these days.

Oh, yeah. Right. I knew it was one of those red teams that's still in the playoffs. He had previously played on the Heat. Anyway, he has looked relatively sharp for the Rockets.

Looking back at his career, while he has always been underwhelming, he was impressively bad for us. By far his worst season came in a Suns uniform.

Sup just tipped his hand. I think we know who picked up the drop in cannabis consumption...

I'd photoshop a picture of Earl Watson holding a bong, but we all know my history with that sort of thing!

They should start firing people at the top (Jeanie and Jimmy) in LA, just like here with Sarver.

Or just sell the team for 10B.

I think they make a big play for Walton. Young players, no real pressure right now to win.

Glad Scott's gone. He's awful.

You probably aren't that far off. I would assume it is in the 5-7B range.

I wish he was still on the sidelines coaching the Lakers forever.

I'm not even being facetious. The Clippers, a dwarf compared to the Lakers, sold for 2B. You are not taking the Real Madrid from basketball away from me for less than 5x that amount. These transactions go way beyond what the asset is nominally worth per Forbes (2.7B) and the likes.

They mentioned going through a "hiring process" to find a new coach. :lol: A process? But for why? Any fool knows you don't need a hiring process. :lol: You just simply pick a guy and then brag about how easy the choice was. :lol:

See, this is why it was a mistake to sign Watson so quickly. We could have had Scott!

I agree.

I remember how much Magic wanted MDA fired and how he and Kobe had great love for Scott and supported his hire.

Jerry West not Magic should be the face of that franchise. They are lucky that Kobe is gone.

Did Robert Sarver buy partial ownership in the Lakers? Both of those moves smell like something he would do.

Is Jerry West still involved with Golden State? I wish we had went after him when we brought in Lon Babby.
