Gold Standard Hoops

Tweeting basketball 24/7. Focus on Los Angeles Lakers and Kentucky Wildcats. Gold standards.

Sometimes, VERY RARELY, I hate being right. #lakers

[Gold Standard Hoops @BBallInKY]

Nuggets in 5, unfortunately. 😑

@joshhart Congrats man! 🔥🔥🫡🫡

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins have won an NBA championship before Jimmy Butler.

@PlayoffDude Wemby would be better served modeling his game after Dirk Nowitski than KD.

[Gold Standard Hoops @BBallInKY]

@VinoUncorked Huh? Solid backup, but he’s too limited (& terrible FT shooter) to start.

[Gold Standard Hoops @BBallInKY]

@PlayoffDude Lakers can’t build a contender if he’s on a max contract. Love AR, but he’s not that. If they have to give him a max they’ll need to trade him as soon as possible for pieces that fit the roster.

[Gold Standard Hoops @BBallInKY]

@BrandoAKing I mean, it’s been publicly stated by both parties that Cal wouldn’t let him shoot 3s.

[Gold Standard Hoops @BBallInKY]

@Tim_NBA @jovanbuha How tf was Rui a negative value? 😅

[Gold Standard Hoops @BBallInKY]

@deadboylyfee Jaxson Hayes.

[Gold Standard Hoops @BBallInKY]

Sign & trade is the only option at that price.

[LakeShowYo @LakeShowYo]

BREAKING: Austin Reaves is reportedly seeking a max contract worth up to 5 years $239 million from the Lakers

What should the Lakers do??? 👀

[Gold Standard Hoops @BBallInKY]

@LakeShowYo Sign & trade is the only option at that price.

[Gold Standard Hoops @BBallInKY]

@PlayoffDude Lakers say yes, Miami says no

@MilanMomcilovi5 @JoeTipton Welcome! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[Gold Standard Hoops @BBallInKY]

Embarrassing that the roster is 99% set & it’s not seen as a top-25 roster. Even if he gets Milan, Mark Pope’s a joke.

[KSR @KSRonX]

Kentucky is not currently considered a preseason Top 25 team. That would change if Milan Momcilovic commits.

A look at the latest rankings and the impact Momcilovic could have on UK-- or Louisville or Arizona ⬇️

@RyanLucas_LA Honestly I think the Lakers are likely 3 years away if they nail every decision.

[Gold Standard Hoops @BBallInKY]

@DougMarcaida1 Weren't we supposed to know his decision by now?

[Gold Standard Hoops @BBallInKY]

The Kings are an embarrassing franchise.

[Underdog @Underdog]

2025: Former Kings Guard Tyrese Haliburton makes his first Finals

2026: Former Kings Guard De'Aaron Fox makes his first Finals

[Gold Standard Hoops @BBallInKY]

@BleedBlueCasey De’Aaron Fox spent too many years on horrible Kings teams. He’s the easy choice.

[Gold Standard Hoops @BBallInKY]

@NotLikeLuka Luka & the Lakers we’re getting stomped by OKC in the game Luka injured the hamstring. Stop
