Lakers will need better offer to get Kyrie

Brandon King

The Kevin Durant trade request has branched off into the reinvigoration of the Russell Westbrook trade speculation, with the Nets emerging as the likely trade partner and Kyrie Irving the Lakers target. The Lakers desire to move Westbrook ( who, for a variety of reasons, they never should have acquired in the first place) is not only the worse kept secret in the NBA , but quite possibly in all of pro sports. This fact should put the Lakers on the wrong side of the leverage equation in any trade…

Take a look at these latest images of the ”Fire Red” Air Jordan 9

Brandon King

In our initial article on the ”Fire Red” Air Jordan 9, we did get on Jordan Brand’s case, and rightfully so, but this is actually a good-looking shoe. I still remain on my stance both this release and the ”Olive Concord” 9 are little more than pre-hype building, for the colorways we really want, cash grabs.

Good for Bradley Beal

Brandon King

Although you may have missed it with all the attention directed at the seemingly out-of-nowhere Kevin Durant trade request but Bradley Beal agreed to remain with the Washington Wizards by agreeing to a 5-year, $251 million contract. Many in the professional peanut gallery , ask the mainstream sports media derided Beal’s decision, sting that the three-time All-Star should have bolted to a more ready-made contender, rather that opting to secure the bag. This sentiment once again puts the deranged, delusional mindset of not only the gasbags of the sports media…
