A King and an Empire: The Official GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers 2018-19 season

[CantStop]

Are we sure it's that bad? Correct me if I'm wrong but when Bron leaves that'll open up a max slot right . So even if AD and Bron fail we can re up with a younger star when Bron leaves. AD will be like 29-30 then and should still be an attraction to FAs if his health is right .

Y'all worried about the picks assuming the worst. What if we actually get a title out of this tho

It’s not that bad, it’s just people have Nets Celtics nightmares. Pierce was 36, kg was 37. AD is 26

considering we weren't in a tight race for AD, yes. We also gave up Hart. It's understandable if you keep 2 of 4 young guys. Pelinka is supposed to be a great negotiator

People keep forgetting, Kuz is 24. He will get better and easier shots. Also, we have an open max slot. We get Kyrie, Kawhi, or Butler, it is ova!

just a tidbit from a Pelicans fan,

AD has missed 108 games in seven seasons and has only played in 70 or more games in a season twice. when he's healthy he's great, but he's very fragile and prone to a lot of tick tack injuries.

still seems like a lot for the Lakers to give up for him, but not complaining

 

[McPiff]

fukk getting a third star, y'all should try to sign good pieces and role players for the bench.

 

[Dwight Howard]

Yea but the nets overpaid and it cost them 7 years of rebuilding. I dont think anyone complaint about getting AD, it's the price tag that's questionable. I feel as if we bargained against ourselves.

 

[Crack Daniels]

Like I said we made a deal with the Devil (Bron) this was inevitable, no matter the cost

Pretty much. Y’all were negotiating against Father Time because there was no way possible you could squander another year of Bron’s contract. Waiting AD out just wasn’t possible, especially after the young dudes were already in their feelings.

That, and the Dwight Howard/Nash trade

I agree though, I don't care about the picks or Hart

 

[Controversy]

We got fleeced

NO will be a top team for most of the entire 2020's decade

I feel you on that. I think with KD and Klay going down it just got me focused on stealing this title next year. We get a title I'd accept any future repercussions. If Dubs were still A1 I'd be pissed though

 

[jay211]

And then when Zion leaves in 5-7 years and signs with the Lakers Or Ben Simmons comes to LA

 

[dtownreppin214]

Hmmmm

Kyrie/Caruso/
Bullock/3&D/Jemerrio Jones
Lebron/Kuzma
AD/Williams/Wagner
Nerlens/Dedmon

Don't forget Melo.

 

[Sinnerman]

Don't forget Melo.

I forgot Luka too

I hate that AD isn't willing to sign an extension right away. Whats to stop him from bouncing in 2020?

It's not possible for him to sign an extension for the first six months. Some rule I believe
