I disagree.
Are The Lakers A Legitimate Threat To Win The West And NBA Title?(2nd In The West Right Now)

I disagree.
Of course. You got the two most important things in the league...dominant offensive stars and 3 and D wings. The only question is how they deal with size but the arent exactly a small team. They just dont have 7 footers. Aint like nikkas is running post offense through their centers like that in 2025.

Rest In Power Kobe
They have a great defense, an in prime superstar in Luka and a still fearsome LeBron.
they are definitely a threat but will be good for ten with size, like OKC and Denver.

Is there another team in the NBA that has higher basketball IQ than this current Lakers squad?
No excuse not to at this point. You have the “GOAT” and a top 5 player In the league. Word to @Buckeye Fever

And dumbass Coli basketball experts really tried to act like the AD trade was "equal" 
Luka is an undisputed top 5 player at the minimum, LeBron is turning back the clock looking like Miami LeBron doing everything on the floor possible. They have a legit shot at making the Finals. The way they locked in on defense against the Nuggets was something special. Reaves is a very good 3rd option, and they've got dogs on the defensive end in Vando and DFS. This is exactly turning out how everybody besides the Coli knew it would turn out, you don't just give away a top 5 player for an injury prone big in AD and not expect it to have somewhat immediate success. I still have to see how they look against OKC, and Denver in a playoff setting again, also they lack center depth but it's not crazy to think they could make a deep run.

As Pierce and Garnett both said “LeBron is the Lakers second best player”. Of course they are contenders.
I’ve got to say they’ve been better than I thought they would be post trade, especially defensively.
Still hard to trust Jaxson Hayes as your only center

Of course they are. And you are delusional if you don’t think they are.
On most nights lakers have a top 5 player (luka) and a top 10 (lebron) but on some nights, bron has shown flashes of still being top 5.
As long as their role players show up, i don’t see why they can’t make it out the West.

They are beating up on good teams, which has to mean something.
