Cooked Kings, bytchmade bigs, and shytty snitches: Your 2022-23 GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers season thread

[Professor Emeritus]

Thats why if Im Lakers media I fire back two very important questions to LeBron.

1. Do you believe AD can stay healthy for a title run?

If AD can't win a title then the front office should trade him now. That's literally his ONLY value for the team, so if you're not willing to trade for pieces to put around AD for a title run then you better be getting his ass off your team. What's the point of having him on the roster otherwise?

2. Are YOU capable of leading a title run if the Lakers trade AD for other major assets?

Bron is averaging 35-7-7 on 60% shooting over his past 13 games and the Lakers have now won five straight without those assets. So of course Bron is going to believe he's capable.

I get that, but its been awhile since Bron won a title without a dominant performer.

And even though young Kyrie had his flaws his scoring became dominant at the end of that series. Its key for Bron to be real about it. Or at least be real about the AD situation. Cause you'd hate to waste a real opportunity because AD is out for the year.

Right, based off how Lebron is playing, for the next 2 years they would be better off trying to build a champion around him instead of AD.



Like if you could get a dependable all star and at least 2 high level role players back for him you would be a title contender.

For instance, Lavine( who I'm not a big fan of), Caruso, and another player.


But that is not reality because AD is not going to get traded.

I get that, but its been awhile since Bron won a title without a dominant performer.

Because he's had ass #3-5 during that time, comparatively. I mean, winning with Rondo and KCP or JR Smith and Tristan Thompson as your #3 and #4 options was pretty fukking wild. There's no sign that he couldn't win with a less dominant #2 but more impressive supporting cast.

Will be amazing if Lakers defeat Nuggets without AD

Last time they played LA won by 18 with AD only playing 18 minutes before going down.

 

[Regular_P]

Clips lost again. Lakers now have the same number of losses as the sixth seed.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

That’s real. Posting on neutral forums keep you honest. A forum dedicated to a team can become an echo chamber plus it breeds superstans that sohh/thecoli/ahh could never produce.

Things could be better here, but there’s far worse out there

Yea I just neg @ALonelyDad and then forget about it

Russ might be on the spectrum brehs.

I said this years ago. It would also explain his freakish motor and athleticism. No will ever say Russ was a student of the game

TB gotta put pressure on Jokic with his scoring. Hopefully, Nunn gets hot again.

Nunn had the benefit of playing versus Trae Young. That's the only reason he got hot

* Everyone is proposing straight-up trades (Two teams)...A multi-team trade would also be an option. The Lakers have enough contracts/players to pull it off. It's just a mattar of Jeanie Buss wanting to spend the money on Luxury tax.

* Also, there's more than one Bogdanovic....The Bogdanovic in Atlanta is 3 years younger than the one in Detroit.

It's crazy when you think about it:

* LA started 2-10
* Lebron/AD/Dennis have missed a combined 38 games
* LA blew about 5 games

If LA just won 2 of the 5 games that blew they'd be in 5th place.

I guess Linda and Jeanie discussed this while waiting to get their botox touch ups in Beverly Hills

 

[Black Mamba]

Price will come down closer to the trade deadline
