Yeah I'm hoping he keeps his mouth shut about Lonzo's teammates. If he does I think guys will enjoy playing with him.

I think Lavar will probably tone it down now that Lonzo is in the NBA. It seems like everything he's been doing has been to get Lonzo to the Lakers, so hopefully now he lets his son's game do more of the talking. Part of it might be Lavar trying to make money off them, but he was already wealthy before all of this so I think there's more to it. The traditional shoe deal would've been a safer route but if Lonzo becomes an all star then this approach will seem genius. He would've just been another guy with Nike, but now he has a chance to be the guy.

So do I lol. It probably won't be a serious injury but I still feel bad for Sixer fans. Things are finally looking up for them and then their latest top pick gets hurt too.

I don't mind Lavar. He's super obnoxious and annoying, but I think it's cool how he's trying to build his own brand instead of having his kid sign with Nike, Under Armour, etc. Lonzo seems laid back so with his dad doing the talking he just has to worry about playing basketball.

Markelle Fultz was helped off the court with an ankle injury. Philly is cursed.

I hope Lonzo Ball becomes a star. He's shown some nice promise tonight.

The times changed, Bobby didn't. True for both basketball and society.

Personally I hope he rides off into the sunset and we never hear about him again.

Boston shipping out Avery Bradley minimizes the Hayward addition imo. He was a very good two way player that guarded both Wall and Irving.

4 kids to stay! Collin was on the way to his white picket fence and 2.5 kids before Archie came along.

Tom Crean was Caleb Swanigan's English tutor.

The Big East isn't part of the "Power 5" so it wasn't considered for this.

Hey a sleeping giant is better than the dead one that a lot of people want us to be. **For some reason I definitely read this as being from the Indy Star when I first saw the link so now it's not nearly as cool as I first thought.

I like that we seem to be getting some good press now. Before it was all "IU fans are delusional, they're living in the past, accept your mediocrity."

It's being reported by Woj that no decision has been made though. The tweet I linked might not be showing up on the app It's probably to avoid bad publicity but still a strange situation.

What is going on.

Sheesh. NBA contracts are insane.

Yeah

I mean boring more in the sense that barring major roster changes there won't be any suspense about who is coming out of the East. The east playoffs will probably be even worse than last year with George and Butler both gone now.

Lol oops, I had four on my mind with the four reasons and it stuck [emoji16]

Ha at first it didn't click that you were talking about us and I was thinking "crap that's a huge team."

There are four main reasons why I think next year will be much better in spite of losing our top three players. 1) Leadership. Gone will be the "everyone is a leader" days. I think Collin will be the leader of our team and I think he'll do a great job at it. 2) Defined Positions. We will no longer play "positionless" basketball. Our players will know their roles which will help them do them well 3) Defense. Our staff seems to be instilling the mentality that this will be a tough, nasty team that plays physical defense. This will help make up for the offensive firepower we lost 4) Accountabilty. I think Archie will hold players accountable for their mistakes and I don't think he will play favorites. This should make our players value the ball and cut down on turnovers. They won't be as sloppy if they know they'll get benched for it

The East is going to be super boring next year but the West should make up for it. I wish the East was going to be better than it will be though.

OG must still be in town. Freddie has been posting snaps with him this week.

I'm just glad he didn't go to Boston.
