Warriors injuries = Lakers better not panic.
I know it was just the regular season, but a healthy Lakers squad matched up very well vs. a healthy Warriors squad. I still think if LeBron doesn't mess his groin up/others Lakers stay healthy they could have been in the WCF (if they avoided GS until then)
Low key the best bet might be just sign a max FA. Then see if you could get AD traded to you right before the season or during the season.
The ONLY negative is if AD/Zion look like a dynamic duo not worth breaking up....Thats the only scary part. New Orleans might just roll with it for a year if they are in a solid playoff spot.
However, I think patience would be the best bet. West is wide open. Bron is a different beast in the playoffs. Max FA on the way. The young guys should get better now that Luke is gone..
