This is huge. Laker fans are going to avoid this. Bron and AD are pretty much the main guys. If they don't get the right support players around them, then there is a high possibility that this won't work even with KD and Klay on ice for a year. Free agents need to look at the Clippers. If Kawhi is leaving Toronto and going there, then I follow him.
Lakers need to sign nothing but shooters to be successful. They should look at Danny Green, Seth Curry, Terrence Ross, Wes Matthews, Jeremy Lamb, etc all these guys are unrestricted free agents.

The truth is, GSW losing all of their guys to catastrophic injuries and other guys hobbled due to mileage is another reason why the lakers HAD to do it now and I was one of the fans that was like NOPE we aint giving you all of that and we'll wait til next summer. let bron wait one more year. Truth is, everyone in the league is scared after those injuries. you mess around and bron blows his achilles out or gets a bad knee injury. that mileage is real. so you gotta go and go now . especially since GSW is not right just yet come next season. So strike while the irons hot so to speak. the west is wide open. just like the east was this past season without bron being in the way. You make that run. sorry to see the young bruhs go. and I'll keep watching them on other teams. But it is what it is. Dis Hollywood baby. We dont wait. and we dont do it slowly. we win NOW. and keep winning until the the wheels fall off. suck for 10 years. and repeat. we aint built like these other franchises that build strictly thru the draft and keep losing to keep getting picks to one day get lucky enough to get a bron and to finally win like ONCE. no thanks. we're going for it. Thats something a lot of non winning ffranchise fans do not understand. They have never seen their teams win or win much so they have no real clue how it works. I notice the same issues with talking heads on TV and the radio that are transplants from other cities that were also fans of other teams in other cities. They base their arguments on what they think is the best way to build teams when they have never seen their favorite team do it.

Laker fan using sensible logic :ohhh:

Insufferable. Lakers gutted their core. Lakers were a lottery team. There’s uncertainty with team chemistry and roll players filling the void. Wouldn’t even be prohibited favorites if the GSW were healthy.
GSW fans (really just people who hate Lebron) are constantly reaching for terrible comparisons like this to justify their bullshyt and make their ridiculous opinions seem tenable. Never works.

With klay and durant out next season, you have to be a idiot to think any other western conference team is beating a team with ad and lebron. Ya'll talking about depth but when the playoffs start those rotations get cut to 7-8 guys anyway. You mean to tell me that with 23 million and kuz,ad, and lebron that the lakers can't get a good 7 man rotation. :dahell:

U must been watching espn lol

Every great team is top heavy

If Kawhi miss the conference finals along with Lowry do they even beat Philly or The bucks. No

2 of the 3 best players on any team is losing. Idk why talking heads keep saying that BS

Yeah, but AD is injury prone and Lebron ain't young either. I'm not saying it was a bad trade. I get why they did it. But if they don't win in this window, I think the Lakers get sold. Laker's draft future is controlled by NOP indefinitely, they have no young core, and the front office is hell. Jeanie will lose the support of the other Buss children/minority stakeholders and lose her ownership.

Lebron is 35 and had his first major injury last year. AD has been injury prone his whole career. There is no guarantee they stay healthy in a deep playoff run. If one of them ho down they are done.
