The Lakers won’t suck…..they will struggle in the West but with their recent signings they are a clear threat to a 6, 7 or 8th seed

Which is like the Cavaliers winning 17 games. Sucks for them, both literally and figuratively. You'd hate to see another LeBron first round exit.

I enjoy early first round exits by any of these big market teams!

Somebody needs to handle the ball during the regular season LeBron when wants to coast.

It all comes down to the health of LJ and AD. If both stay healthy the Lakers will be a championship contender. If only one does, probably a 6-8 seed. If neither do, it'll get ugly.

I feel like you could do that exercise with pretty much all contenders, no?

True, but some players are more injury prone. AD and Old Man LeBron are both injury risks.

Exactly. There is no team where if their clear cut best two players are out, they are going to be fine.

These Lakers are like a 2009-2013 all nostalgia team. I remember wanting Ariza, Wes and a few others during that era.

This Lakers roster has me so stoked for The Hobbit Trilogy!

 

[Real Deal]

That Lakers team will get headlines, but they don't run on Bron, they run on AD. And AD isn't something to be confident in running on.

Well the Blazers saw the importance of a career 39% shooter from three land and signed Tony Snell. The majority of the shooters in this FA class is all but gone.

Lakers violating every tenet of roster construction. Role players actually did play a role in their 2020 title. And re the fragility of their big three, Westbrook’s been somewhat injury prone the last two years as well

 

[kidduck]

I didn't realize that Lonzo Ball made more 3's last season than Bradley Beal and Trae Young.

As for the Lakers, they should get the AARP logo on their jerseys.

Drummond is going to get the full dose of Philly fans venom.

How can I watch the Summer League this season?
