Thought I would post this to see if you agree with Ramona that KD needs to meet with the Lakers out of respect, due to their storied history, etc. etc.

Funny, I don't recall her or anyone else at ESPN saying in prior years that the top free agents need to meet with the Celtics "out of respect."

Curious to get your comments.  8)

It's crazy how personal ESPN seems to take it that the lakers are bad right now.  Stephen A Smith (yes, he's a loud mouth and this probably aligns with his schtick) is practically demanding that Jim Buss be fired.  Whether he should or shouldn't is not up to ESPN and their reporters to endorse.  Plenty of teams out there with bad owners that you hear nothing about.

Lakers stories get clicks.  Stories about the plight of the Kings don't.

Indeed, such a mystery  ;D

“I can’t imagine Durant wouldn’t talk to us,” the source said. “That would shock me.”
The Lakers believe they have a pitch that will appeal to Durant and other free agents, said the source with knowledge of the team’s thinking. With the ability to clear more than $60 million in cap space, they will attempt to sell stars on the potential of joining the Lakers with another top-tier free agent, the source said.
“We want to pitch guys on combinations, as opposed to just one guy,” the source said. “We’ll say to a guy, ‘Who do you want to play with? We’ve got the room to go get him.'”
