Although the Los Angeles Lakers made numerous moves this offseason, areas of concern remain for general manager Rob Pelinka and the front office. One spot, in particular, is the backup center position, as Kevon Looney remains the sole true center behind Walker Kessler. If Kessler ends up missing time due to injury, it puts pressure […]

Linda Cohn doesn’t think Stephanie White is the right coach for CC.

Caitlin Clark's visible frustration with Stephanie White adds tension as the Fever face playoff elimination.

This Grizz team has incredible, balance of distinct roles, but I think needs 1 less guard and 1 more wing. I think this team, moderately healthy, can go 39-43 this season. submitted by /u/Junke1 [link] [comments]
