If I were him I’d stay at Tennessee but money talks!!!

They are chasing the ghost of John Wooden but even the younger people think UCLA is the greatest basketball program in the country.
They expect NCs.

Rick Barnes supposedly wants to take that challenge because he wants to leave a legacy.

Tennessee is not the #1 option for any recruit.
Barnes wants that back.

Both the Lakers and UCLA are dumpster fires. It is no coincidence that the Ball Circus was a factor in both.

That is not true.
Lived in Southern California for 16 years.
UCLA is its own worse enemy.
Dan Guerrero should have been fired long time ago.

When Ben Howland came to Westwood he started to win.
The UCLA boosters threw a bunch of money into the program. Even renovated Pauley Pavillion and brought Howland the #1 class in 2012.

Howland was kicked to the curb.
Same Howland that went to three straight Final 4's.

Lakers...

The NBA did. I think the NBA may regret not allowing the Chris Paul trade.
Prior to 2011 only a few NBA teams were turning a profit.
Still today even with trying to allow other teams to win most NBA franchises are struggling

The next 10 years trust and believe the NBA is getting back to being a big market league.
They just need the Knicks and Bulls to get their **** together.

Probably will be with this NBA draft.
