You always try to run it back hoping the experience in the playoffs goes into the next season. Chemistry still matters in sports you know.
It does make sense to run it back bc the team was together for 3 months and LeBron had foot issues. They'll have been together long enough to get a rhythm going and LeBron will be healthy. Run it back.
Yes. If healthy then they would be a threat in the west. They made it to conference finals after starting 2-12. They shouldn’t make a mistake of signing another big star like Russ.
They didn't even have a training camp chill my Lakers gonna show you
Any other option ends up hardcapping them and you don’t wanna do that in this new CBA
Acho….. 🎯
Bro the lakers are just wasting their time. Might as well rebuild now. I guarantee you AD will be hurt most of the season next year. And the lakers definitely won’t make it back to the WCF
Nah FT got the Lakers into the 7th seed and the WCF .. watch what i telll you . The lakers are about to struggle
Same team will end up at best at the same place !
“All ways a great day to talk about the Lakers.” Are we sure about that 😂
I say keep everyone but dlo and Beasley. They should try to steal Kevin porter jr from Houston
All the Lakers need is for Rudy Gobert to hit a teammate and get suspended, and another Timberwolves best defender punching the wall and injuring himself for the lakers to get past that team. And then all the lakers need is for the Grizzlies Adams, and Brandon Clarke and Jah to all be injured again to get past them, and then you need a Warriors team to be really really exhausted after playing a 7 game series against the Kings and not really clicking mentally together because of the Jordan Pool punch to get past them. And then if Labrons foot “hurts” again therefore taking a month off before the playoffs to let it “heal” and then maybe, just maybe, they’ll end up in the WCF again .
nobody wants to talk about Lebron, is he really supermax money right now? shouldn't he be the third or fourth piece?
Lakers need to trade AD to chicago. Bamba, beasley, AD and seconds to Chicago for derozan, vucevic, caruso and drummond. The bulls want bamba, ad is from Chicago and putting ad with lavine would be nasty. The lakers get what they need and give up an injury prone player. Lakers cant expect a championship with 2 injury prone stars. Both teams get better with this trade and the lakers would be major contenders.
Starting: dlo, derozan, lebron, Vanderbilt, vucevic
Bench: reaves, caruso, christie, rui, drummond,
christian wood (mle), d rose (vet minimum)
You can tell acho played football
Replace Acho with Shannon Sharp
Mavs better but they free fell from the playoffs to missing it completely the suns just because they got Beal all of sudden are the monstars with a injury prone KD
The dubs y’all say are better got beat by the lakers HTF does he have a job there
Who cares what the roster looks on paper. having a big 3 core on paper before actually playing a game doesn't equate to the success that is the result of that roster. The nets for years had a good big 3 with some decent role players and they still lost. The suns have booker, KD ayton and CP3 and still lost.
Acho says a lot of garbage without actually proposing potential players. When he asked if Lakers should trade Reaves and Rui but doesn't even offer any suggestions. Its just pie in the sky stuff without adding value to the discussion.
They should go get vanvleet
Anthony Davis for Damian Lillard
Considering the play in wa opposed to the top 8 and in. I think you still have to wait and see on the kings
It was the first time fox lead them to the playoffs.
Will he do it again.
The first thing you want a guy you draft high to do once he developes his game is start taking the team to the playoffs
Now we get to see is he
Donavon Mitchell going forward
Gets to the playoffs most of his career
Or
Is he Anthony Davis
And can't really the team to the playoffs on a regular basis..fox sabonis and Murray are the cornerstone pieces
What will Murray turn into is another question.
You know what sabonis is at this point
Can he take it up another notch in scoring. Can you figure out how to make him work on the offensive end in the playoffs
Lakers
Lebron looks older and last yr he couldn't hit that next gear.
Can hachimura or reeves become closers. Will Davis stay healthy? Can you finish in the top 6
Clippers
We had another injury riddled season..
If healthy will be good enough to make it to the playoffs without having to go through the play in
.is there a player in mann
Or Powell that can elevate the starting 5 or bench on offense
Still could use a legit rebounding of and if plumlee leaves is there a way to get what we need at
The power forward/ center positions. As well if we keep Russ can we ad a PG to the team to either start or come off the bench behind him
Morris batum Covington
Are all guys I'd try to trade
Are any younger guys like Boston or Coffey showing potential while there on rookie deals. We lost to Denver in the bubble because they were younger
We couldn't get easy buckets to old to even get fast break points , loose balls and we were out rebounded.
Since then we still have the same players which doesn't match the type of team I would build around Leonard. We lack a pick and roll of we only have stretch 4s who aren't rebounders
As usual the media and the critics want it both ways when it comes to Bron, if he says something hes meddling and trying to be GM, if he says nothing and lets the front office do what they need to do – why they standing pat are they trying not to compete for a title?
Gsw are in a bad spot. You traded a scorer for a passer who is almost retired
no athletic size at pf C
Klay is more suitable for 3rd option scorer and Wiggins .
Draymond only getting older and last yr looked like he couldn't match up with the more athletic players
Hearing klay may want a max deal
What do you do now that you lost your best young guard and you don't have depth at any position besides PG and cp3 is injury prone
Grizzlies
Look like they will be a contender
Pelicans
Twolves
To many questions
Both look like they may need to rebuild and start over
Especially the wolves
Townes has not worked out
They gonna run back a L
Suns
Nuggets
Grizzlies
Okc
To me look like the potential best teams in the west barring injuries
Joi is 100% right. Now one move they can make is go after Miles Turner and Buddy Hield for Bamba and DLO or Dennis. But to Joi’s point that’s an extension of the core
