I'm sorry but Lowry is getting massively overrated lately.  Massively.

[sturt]

Aside: Loving that we have so little off-season, at least just this once. Draft just 48 hours behind us, and it's conceivable we'll have our roster set in short order. Summer league coming up. A month or so of preseason football and a month or so of the start of that season before we're right back into preseason NBA games. Niiiiice.

And heck, I hate that an era in the District ended so abruptly, but it's the cycle of life... and just about the time that the Cowboys finish their next run of Super Bowl trophies and Hawks their run of NBA championships, the mighty Nats should be back near the top of the MLB hill. It's a wonderful life.  

(And heck, at this rate, I still don't even count them totally out of an NL East pennant for 2021. Been crazier things happen, and no one seems to want to win it.)

Don’t apologize he is massively overrated. Kawhi is at fault there. Made him look too good.

Which time. He’s a pooper so… honestly think it happened a couple times. If you pay close attention he’s always running around behind the chairs on the sidelines. It’s like a rat maze. Lol. My bad.

Somebody help....I'm broken.  I was just reviewing the Lakers, Wizards trade.  Kuzma's contract ran out this year.  How is he included in this deal?

He signed an extension.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, former Utah forward Kyle Kuzma and the reigning world champion Los Angeles Lakers agreed to a three-year contract extension worth $40 million.

While Lou Williams and the Atlanta Hawks have expressed a mutual desire for a return, other Eastern Conference teams, including the Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks, are expected to pursue the three-time Sixth Man of the Year winner, league sources told HoopsHype.

Not gon lie I’m actually a little surprised Lou is willing to comeback for veteran minimum. Thought he’d be seeking one last big contract. ….well Big for him.
