Who can stop the Lakers from a four-peat?

Anthony Davis just signed a 5 year, max contract. Yesterday ,LeBron signed on for the next 3 years. Please don't bring up Bron's age. Anyone you know in as good physical shape at 35? He spends $1M a year on chefs, dietitians, and personal trainers. Even if you hate him, you have to admit he's in great physical shape.

Yesterday Giannis Antetokounmpo said Bron's the best ever, and tried recruiting him and AD to the Bucks.

Nobody could play with them last year, and they got stronger in the offseason.

    I might just be drinking too much of the Kool-aid down here in DFW, but I could see the Mavs representing the West within a couple years.

    You know what surprises me? If any NBA owner would gladly go $40M over the cap, and pay double that in luxury tax to me it would be Mark. He lives for his Mavs, his businesses are secondary.

    Why isn't he getting the best players, and paying the luxury tax? Has he ever paid the tax?

    I've lived right outside Dallas since 2006. Boston isn't rooting loyalty, but I know more about the Dallas teams than any others.

    Winning that 2011 championship was the pinnacle of the Dirk era.

    Top free agents were never super interested in teaming up with Dirk. They could never get the "big fish".

    I anticipate them being more excited to play with Luka. It's all about making sure that Luka stays here for Cuban.

    I was surprised the Clippers didnt make a better showing last year. I expect George and squeeky knees to gel more this year and give the other team from LA a run for their money

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
