Okay, so the Lakers didn't win the championship last year. So, they bring in KARL MALONE and GARY PAYTON?

This is INSANE... four future hall of famers and likely 20+ points per game scorers, all on one team.

Eastern Conference (hell, almost all western conference) teams couldn't touch the Lakers before... now what?

I refuse to watch a single NBA game this year due to this. So screwed up...

it could make for a great upset in the playoffs though :)

in hockey, the red wings had a super stacked team, with probably 7-9 future hall of famers, and they got beat by the mighty ducks in the first round.

Only team that can do it in my eyes, is the Spurs. Since they might be getting J-Kidd... but NO Eastern Conference team can even touch them :\ I kind of wanted to see the 76ers do something this year, but oh well. :angry:

I call this Yankee-itus, one team with alot of money just buys all the talent and ends up making more money from tickets and what-nots, and then they use that money to buy the best next generation players ect ect, with no end in site. Oh well, good thing I don't like basketball

Well Payton is not exactly a future hall of famer... very good consistent player though.

I say let them get Karl too, just a waste of talent with all 4 guys together, hmmm maybe it will take less shots away from shaq...the most dominant scorer and one of the highest % shooters, so it's fine by me... and just remember as much as Payton brings...he doesn't bring sharp shooting from the outside when Kobe or Shaq or even Karl are doubled... at least not the same quality as Fisher has shot recently. Fair enough Payton and Malone are still playing well and not exactly fading away just yet, but it may turn out to be something similar to Hakeem, Pippen and Barkley...

Still I'd love to see Spurs with J KIdd and Zo Mourning match up :D hehe!!

remember we are talking about the NBA here...there are no upsets...since 1991, a grand total of 4 teams have won the NBA championship.. and it doesnt look like that will change anytime soon

Maybe the lakers are going to be the next chicago bulls, the 90's bulls were full of stars, Jordan (the best ever), Pippen, Kuckok (he is good), Rodman (I dont like his attitude, but lets face it, he was the best in rebounds)

I will be really surprised if that team can gell with all of the egos on it. NBA is just as big of a joke right now as the NHL and MLB. You should not be able to try to go out and purchase a championship. I think that is one of the most enjoyable aspects of the NFL. When it is all said and done, every team in the NFL (except the Bengals) has the opportunity to put together a team and win the superbowl.

Agreed, Corey Dillon is wasting his talent with the bengals :no:

He should move to the buc's or to the Texans to start creating a lasting franchise

I remember ppl were upset when GLEN RICE went to the Lakers, ppl said it would be unfair (center, 3-point shooter, shooting gaurd l337ness) and they would simply stop watching games. Well, Glen Rice ended up sucking ass and didn't help TOO MUCH, prolly cause of his slowness due to his injury, and the Lakers won the championship. Now with these 4 l337 players, ppl should be bawling over because its like a friggin All-Star team in L.A.

not me thou, I'm excited to see how Phil is gunna take this, considering he has never had 4 guys with this much talent on a starting lineup.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches.

LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates.

Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used.
