Feels like this one is for LT whom I know is hoping against hope against reality that something shakes loose. Wish I could believe that it will…but I do not.
Hi, Jamie. You are hitting my man a little hard, Lol. I know Tom has always been an optimistic man and doesn’t easily get swayed by anything other than what he believes in.
It’s all live Buba. Tom is the only blogger whom I’ve met in person way back when for lunch and convo to be a part of this fun and wonderful enterprise. Also it’s not that I disagree that Russ will be an issue in terms of on and off court fit and chemistry but that J think the Lakers have already kicked all the tires in all the scenarios and have largely been met with no thank you or try back later. If the right playet(s) we’re coming into free agency I would think differently, but it’s a weak free agency in terms of true max players. Couple that with most teams with it both not wanting to play Russ for pay or pay Russ not to play and you have this situation. But I have always admired Tom’s dedication to finding the positive angle. Even if I don’t see it as being realistic. A good convo needs the dreamer as much as it needs a realist.
Jamie, that’s a great story to share. That’s what makes your relationship with Tom so unique. You both can have different opinions but always find a common ground which always turns out to be more fertile. Always good to see you both handle it well. Thanks, man.
