Lakers are 2007-2008 champs. I'm already getting my clothes ready for the parade.

:D

I'm rooting for the Lakers too, but be careful with the hubris. Gasol does not by any means guarantee anything.

The key is if Bynum can come back at 100%.

Not a bad trade for Memphis. They clear cap space by getting Brown's expiring contract, they get 2 prospects, and 2 first rounders. What will dull the impact for them is the likelihood of both first rounders being pretty low.

I feel sorry for Kwame. Pretty much everybody is hating on him right now hah. Jordan's chosen one must feel the pressure.

But yeah, I'm really excited for this trade. Lakers gonna have two effective 7- footers on the court at the same time! I'm interested to see how they would match up now against the Celtics (although we won't get a chance to see that until the Playoffs). Can Gasol pass? It'd be interesting to see what type of back door cut plays Kobe can come up with between him and Gasol.

Whoa guys, slow down, did you forget you still have to play Boston... I would say that the Lakers are my 3rd favorite team (Chicago Bulls my 2nd, and the home-town Boston Celtics my 1st) but I don't even think they'll get past Utah in the playoffs... I know you're saying "UTAH!!" but believe me, they're one of those "sleeper" teams like Golden State last year.

      They themselves used AI slop to convert its C++ codebase to Rust. But I do agree with their concerns.

    • Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs by Usama Jawad Late last year, Microsoft planned to begin the automatic installation of the Microsoft 365 Copilot app on certain Windows PCs. However, in March 2026, it disabled this process due to a technical issue and informed customers that it would let them know when it would resume. It seems like that was only a temporary respite, as the Redmond tech giant has started the forced installation of the app on eligible devices. In an update on its Message Center for IT admins, Microsoft has informed customers that it is resuming the automatic installation of the Microsoft 365 Copilot on commercial Windows PCs that have Microsoft 365 apps already installed. What this means is that if you have Microsoft Office apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more installed on your Windows PC through a Microsoft 365 license, you'll likely see the Microsoft 365 Copilot app pop up in your Installed Apps section soon, too. Fortunately, IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app. However, phased rollout via feature flags has already begun and is expected to be completed by the end of June: Feature Flag1: started Jun 4, expected to finish June 10 Feature Flag2: expected to start on June 11, expected to finish on June 17 MSGraph schema rollout: expected to start on June 18, expected to finish on June 24 Feature Flag3: expected to start on June 25, expected to complete by July 1st Microsoft hasn't detailed what the process is to toggle the feature flags in its Message Center, and its public support page does not seem to mention it yet either. The Redmond tech giant has encouraged IT admins to let users know beforehand so they aren't caught by surprise to see a new app seemingly installed without manual interaction or their consent. Users who already have the app installed or are based in the European Economic Area (EEA) are unaffected by this move, which Microsoft has understandably flagged as a "major change".
