  1. Lakers fans kill me lol if any other team made these signings they’d call them players trash🤣 players like Cam Reddish especially who has failed at every team he’s been on.

  2. I truly don’t understand the lakers hate. It’s okay to admit they had the best offseason and will most likely have a better season that last year

  3. no… just no. lakers dont have any good shooting around them. AD is alwayd hurt. Lebron becomes predictable when closing.

  4. Lakers to dethrone Denver?! have you seen the west is loaded, the warriors, the Mavs, the suns…

  5. Gotta love how JT wears a 'Warriors basketball' T-shirt while not at all talking about them. 😅😂😢😢

  6. The Nuggets young players look amazing so I don’t see them going anywhere barring injuries.

  7. Even as a fan of lakers he’s always fair! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

  8. As a Spurs fan, I love that as long as Wemby is around, we’ll at least be relevant and talked about (unlike the past 5 years when they didn’t seem to exist in sports media). Had no idea this was going to end on us, but so dope that it did!

  9. If we are talking about improvements and free agent signings how do you not have dallas in here and have the celtics? Thats just stupid. The spurs side of thing is so obvious it shouldn’t even be talked about and also the cavaliers, strus and niang are no were near the improvements and moves as dallas made in lively omax kyrie curry and grant willams. Its not even close

  10. This list just isn’t about who improved the most but its simply the big market teams who have big fan bases and who Jason likes. Stop clickbaiting. Cause boston cavs and the spurs should definitely not be on the most improved list

  11. Love the NBA, because someone will have a video title only for like the Kings to beat the Knicks in a finals matchup and win the chip.

  12. The idea that LeBron James is a top 20 player at this point in his career at age 39 next year is absolutely ridiculous. He’s good but at this point he’s a mid player? At best.

  13. And once again, making a trade deadline acquisition as part of your strategy for the year means you are not ready for the year as a team

  14. This is great. I love it. I hope the lakes never buy another championship again. Your REAL argument is MAYBE LeBron will be healthy this post season. That's your best bet. You brought up D. LO?? Why? 🧐🧐 he's been ass his whole playoff career. Gabe Vincent is not the missing piece. An undersized guard?? That'll help FOR SURE come playoff time 😂

    I'm not even going to talk about the additions and the experience and the draft. Yall got it. 😂😂😂😂 we lost Bruce Brown 😱😨😰 not the reigning finals MVP. And now yall bout to have to deal with Braun… I'm telling you, you'd rather have Brown than Braun if you're an opponent.

    But! Alas, this is why they play the game. Injuries play a huge role and the mentality of players. Anything can legitimately happen. So I'm glad the debate will be settled next year.

    I remember when the Lakers were just fine after game 1 vs the nuggets 😎 the way the media and fans were talking it was a 4-1 series with the Lakers winning. Thank God they play the games.

    I wish the Lakers would have just kept all their picks they drafted. They draft pretty decently but no patience to allow them to develop.

  15. Omg this has to be the worst video he has ever made. Put respect on the Nuggets and stop trying to hype up ur precious fan boy lakers. Goodness

  16. The dethrone will happen Denver didn’t resign Bruce brown he was a major part of their success and they didn’t resign him but ya kept Caldwell pope 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️. Pope played good as wel but not like Bruce brown we shall see tho.

  17. I dont understand Boston in top5.
    Porzingis is a lottery ticket.
    And resigning Brown,ok,you have no other choice

  18. I feel like the Grizzlies adding Marcus Smart isn’t getting talked about enough. He is an absolutely perfect fit for what he can bring to their already stacked team. If Memphis gets into the post season healthy- I’m picking them to win the West
