The Los Angeles Angels went into the weekend with real momentum. They had won seven of their previous nine games, were facing a Baltimore Orioles team that has been struggling all season long and were welcoming in top prospect Christian Moore into the lineup to join the young core of Nolan Schanuel, Zach Neto and Logan O’Hoppe. But the weekend did not go as planned for the Angels. They were swept by the Orioles in a series that never looked particularly good.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been on the search for a quality starting center for a couple years now and have had their eyes on several targets in that span.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves has rapidly ascended from undrafted free agent to bonafide third option and one of the best in the league in that regard in just four seasons.

All-NBA 2nd team. Two spots away from 1st team. At 40. I beg of you to appreciate LeBron while he’s still playing.

1. Cancel culture isn’t real, you just want to be able to speak and act without consequence 2. The premise that the only way to develop young players is to scream at them tells me you don’t know how to coach 3. The MVP went to high school in Tennessee and college in Kentucky
