I just can't wait to report back in a week when the Lakers miss on Kyrie and Kawhi and end up with Rondo and KCP. Not related but I want KCP back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't wait to report back in a week when the Lakers miss on Kyrie and Kawhi and end up with Rondo and KCP. But who cares if they miss out on Kawhi and Kyrie? I've said, missing out on anyone but Kawhi is actually good because the Lakers need to add depth to their team. I don't really like Kyrie's fit with LeBron and Davis. I liked it a lot more before Davis was in the picture. The Lakers are in a great spot regardless of what happens with Kawhi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 As far as LeBron's play going downhill.... I think that'll happen eventually. But as far as next season goes, I think he re-claims his throne as the best player in basketball (granted, Kevin Durant is out so that'll be much easier to do) and continues to be elite. He does have a lot of mileage on his body, but he takes care of himself so well and 34 isn't all that old. It's not like the guy is 40 or something. Jordan was still elite at that age. I know LeBron has more mileage on his body at the same age, but I think he'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. That's an awful GM to have. The risk of dealing Jordan Clarkson? What? That deal for Davis isn't even being executed properly for them and the Lakers are in a panic trying to get it done right. What about his other free agent signings? Waiving and stretching Deng? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, but some of the stuff is beyond ludicrous. The idea that ESPN is out to get the LAL front office is absurd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.O Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Y’all think the nets pull the Kyrie/KD thing off? Would hurt DLo has been nothing but great for us on and off the court but if it happens I understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in total he has like 18 seasons of NBA basketball on his body and that doesn’t even include USA basketball etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong. I don't think the Lakers are the best run franchise, but I also don't subscribe to the theory that they're the worst run franchise either. I do think Rob Pelinka has had his eyes on creating a max FA contract slot even with an Anthony Davis trade. And I don't think the national media is out to get the Lakers. I do think it's abundantly clear that NOBODY has a really good in with the Lakers. It was Ramona, but it appears she's on the outside looking in on this one.
