Oh BTW...Klay Thompson now wants to play with the Lakers and will do so unless GS offers him a max deal.
So the Lakers are going to have Kyrie, Klay. James and AD....Maybe they can draft Zion too.
Heard Jesus Christ himself was considering opting out of the final year of his contract with Heaven’s Hellions to join LA, too.
Seriously I have about as much credit as Ric Buecher. This (like the majority of NBA rumors) is BS. Consider the source people...
Don't disrespect yourself like that 
TP very true 
Bucher is a pretty well known and well regarded basketball analyst. He has been doing it for a long time, working both for actual newspapers (including the Washington Post) as well as ESPN and now Bleacher Report. He does TNT games as a sideline reporter, does commentary on NBA TV, and has a daily radio show on SiriusXM. He is very well immersed in the NBA and has a lot of sources. He isn't just some bum off the street.
You can say similar things about Sam Smith, Peter Vecsey, Chris Broussard, SAS, etc. It doesn’t mean they’re not currently thinly-sources rumor-mongering, attention-seeking hacks, though.
Sure, never said otherwise, I was merely pointing out that Bucher isn't just some hack running a blog. He is a legit writer with a lot of actual NBA connections. Doesn't mean he has a good source, but it also doesn't mean he doesn't.
