Title: All things Summer Free Agency 2018 (NHL/NBA)
Post by: TheNorm on July 01, 2018, 01:20:06 PM
John Tavares leaves the Islanders to sign with the Maple Leafs, 7 years @ $77million. Him and Auston Matthews are going to be dangerous.

Watch out, there's going to be a ton of people proclaiming they were Lakers fans all along coming out of the woodwork the next few days.  ::)

For the record, unlike 8 years ago I don't fault Lebron one bit for leaving the Cavs this time. Dan Gilbert surrounded him with garbage this last year and didn't look like things would turn around much this year.

That being said, I don't know which storyline is going to be funnier to watch: the interaction between Lavar Ball and Lebron (they've clashed in the past since Lavar just doesn't seem to know when to shut the fuck up), or when the Laker fanbase gets slapped back to reality by the fact that even with all the additions they've made, they still aren't good enough to beat Golden State, Houston, and probably even OKC. That Western Conference is going to be a slugfest.

Anyway, in the meantime...

I was always a celtics fan growing up.  I did have a brief fling with the magic when Shaq was there.
