This is along the lines of my thoughts. AD is a dominant player. When he's healthy. He seems to get hurt a lot.

If the Lakers are going to succeed, LeBron is going to have to check his ego. He's going to have to defer more to Luka, or thy won't be able to coexist. Which, for DK's sake, I hope they can make it work. I support my VFLs.

Honestly I believe DK will be part of the next package of a trade before Thursday deadline. Lakers need a big and DK and Reaves could get shipped out in the deal.

Luka takes over as Face of Lakers, LeBron might retire after this season if not definitely after next season.

Doesn't he need to stick around a couple of seasons, so the Lakers have a reason to keep Bronny? If he retires, they are cutting Bronny's ass.

Not sure they would trade DK or Reaves.

It depends on Bron. He has a clause but he can waive that for the right packages.

LeBron and Luka aren’t a good match. You trade LeBron to the Warriors (rumors) take some of their young talent and surround Luka with it since he’s only 25.

Keep Reaves and DK to play with Luka. It’s a long term play for the Lakers.

Now if they keep LeBron and those were just rumors. I’d maybe get rid of Dorian and whatever first round picks I had left to go get Jarret Allen.

Reaves, Luka, Bron, Rui and Allen wouldn’t be a bad lineup. You just wouldn’t have a bench lol. I’m hoping they lean toward trading LeBron and just surround Luka with young talent.

Wonder what happens with the basketball rankings this week? The 3 teams in front of us lost yesterday and numerous teams behind us lost. Of all those teams, we had the better win and the better loss. I don’t see how we drop this week, and we may even move up a spot or 2. We will see. Would be huge to be around 6-8 after making it through this difficult part of the schedule. Have to focus and beat Mizzou Wednesday. They are playing pretty good ball right now.

Random VFL's in the NFL update:

Kamal Hadden (CB)Jan 13, 2025 - Signed a reserve/future contract with Green Bay (GB)
Jerome Carvin - Signed a reserve/future contract with Houston (HOU)
Marquez Callaway (WR)Jan 14, 2025 - Signed a reserve/future contract with Tampa Bay (TB)
McCallan Castles (TE)Jan 13, 2025 - Signed a reserve/future contract with Los Angeles (LAC)
Gabe Jeudy-Lally, Jabari Small (RB)Jan 08, 2025 - Signed a reserve/future contract with Tennessee (TEN)


I'm kind of surprised Aaron Beasley hasn't found a way to get another shot with a team. I believe he was picked up as a UDFA by Carolina after the draft but didn't stick around. I know he wasn't the biggest guy, but he was athletic. Definitely seemed like he was draftable after 2022, but didn't have that good of a 2023 season.

I didn't see anything for Princeton Fant (Dallas) or Ramel Keyton (Raiders). They might've already been on multiple year deals though.

Anyways, I usually try and keep up with this because I like seeing our guys in the league. Plus it's a good look for us if our guys stick around.

Happy Sunday

February 2, 2025: Settle yourself and refuse to get overwhelmed with responsibilities. You do not have to panic. Just remember who you are in Christ, and come into the peace that passes understanding. God will not abandon you. He is with you to bring you through every challenge. Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

I thought he was older. I knew he was a RS Senior last year so I just assumed he was going to be 24 or 25. Which 23 is still kind of old, since he will be 28 when his rookie contract is up

I mean, he'll still be 22 when he gets drafted. Pretty standard for a RS senior. I don't think you can hold a 5th year against a guy. If anything I think it makes him better prepared for the job.
