You also left out that Bron got injured and missed a bunch of games. And still put up good numbers. Lakers were 4th when he went out. Continue tho.


Clippers were also 1st when he went out and Houston was out of the playoffs. stfu

The Lakers are counting betting on AD Bron and Kemba (?) to win a ring. That is it. AD is the youngest true top 5 player too.
Anyway the life of a young NBA player is that if you don't outright show all-star potential early on you are trade bait. Zo and BI will probably ball out this season because they won't have to hold back any of their game.


That could be enough next year though

when you in this thread after BI and Zo become all-stars :sadcam:
Steph, Kyrie, Kemba, Dame, Russ, DLo, Murray, Conley, Lowry at the PG position. Zo is not close to all-star level
Bron, PG, KD, Kawhi, Middleton, Harris, Gallinari - BI isn't there, but he's not that far off from the bottom end of the top tier

Not sure the 3rd max is more important than depth at this point. A 3rd star is usually 17ppg, building depth can get you multiple 12ppg players that can alternate getting 17ppg.

Go after Seth, Morris, Mirotic, Beverly, McGee etc.

Anthony Davis needs to go to the Knicks to get his own team....or does Damon Jones only feel that way about KD and those blocking Bron's rings.

durant was only 2 years removed from an MVP and, the same year had the warriors down 3-1 before choking against them only to join them (a 73-9 team), a few months later:usure:


anthony davis has no MVP's and has never played against lebron in a playoff series + the lakers were not even a playoff team:mjgrin:

Can one of the Lakers fans explain something to me.

I keep hearing Kemba Walker name. But the most yall can give is 140 over 4 year's. The Hornets don't have to give him the supermax and still give him 5 years 200 not the full 220. Why do you think you can sign him?

At this point with Kemba its a “why not try?” Approach. Kemba could be swayed by the LA lifestyle, the premise of winning alongside Bron and Davis, and free Jeanie Buss blow jobs (apparently she down for the cause with her nasty ass)

The WORSE that could happen is he’s in “money first” mode (which I wouldn’t blame him in the SLIGHTEST) and gets the bag with Charlotte. In which case thats not even an L for the Lakers. It couldn’t hurt to set up a pitch meeting to gauge interest.


Remember the league is now WIDE OPEN in a way it hasn’t been in about 6-7 years. This free agency class before the injuries was shaping up to be the wild west of NBA fukkery. Players allegiances change on the dime.
