I’ve been thinking this too. They act retarded when they talk about the Lakers! Nobody talks about how we won 35 games with our best players basically being rookies, a 2nd year Ingram who took a huge stride (and is only going to get better, he’s still 20!), and 4th year Randle (RIP). Top 10 defense most of the year. Even without Bron they were only going to get better... not to mention upgrading Ennis for Rondo, Brewer/Wear for Lance, Nance for Beasley, etc.
Bron dragged a team that was 29th in defense all season, missed like 30 games from Love (who was just ok last year), and had major roster turnover at the beginning and at the deadline to 50 wins and a Finals berth...
Every time he’s joined a new team they have raised their wins by like 15-20. But I guess that’s not going to happen with the bum ass Lakers
Are we really going to act like Kuzma and Ingram alone aren’t going to feast with all the open looks? Even if they don’t get better next year they still would put up numbers. But all indications are that both are working really hard this summer. And we’ve seen Hart. KCP will feast too. The only question mark is Lonzo but even if he doesn’t improve, his game would mesh well with Bron.
/end rant lol
