Whose this new fella
We r going to miss shrooder
AD can shoot. I've seen it too much to overreact to last year.
Lebron will be older , less impactful
AD will get hurt
Austin Reeves will be exposed
Rui will have a solid season but he’s peaked
Christian Wood can’t play defense
Jaxson Hayes 😅 i mean what has he really done to make a difference. I just see a player with size with no actual iq to help a team win a chip
Gabe Vincent, the western conference will expose him
Vanderbilt cant score whatsoever
Dennis schroder will be missed
Lonnie walker will be missed
The lakers aren’t winning the chip . I know yall don’t want to hear it but that roster isn’t as good as last season .
AD shooting from like 35% 3pt would be CRAZY
Letsssssss gooooo
Lebron needs to stop taking 3s his % is terrible
I’d run second unit with Wood Rui Prince Christie and Vincent , great defense there maybe reddish instead of Christie if they need size
Nobody talks about how dope it is that LeBron holds a minicamp for the team every year to develop more chemistry and get everybody accustomed to eachother & on the same page. He is a true leader. This team is going to be so good.
Am I the only one who is excited to see Bron bounce back from 3? he's an average career shooter and was below average last year. He'll regress back up towards his career average and hopefully Ad will get better too. I think the 3 point shooting that everyone is terrified of is a little overblown. We should be headed into the season expecting positive regression from Bron. I'm just not sure why no one is talking about this.
Celtics’ roster is tough. So is Phoenix and Denver. I don’t really care about “Top to Bottom”. You’re only going to realistically play 8-9 guys consistently
I hope the Lakers can get Buddy Heild if he is let go 💜💛
Trevor’s back!! 🎉
Folks treating AR like he’s AI. Who wasn’t at the bubble… he’s good but not a top 20. Where is #3 option at?
You know Lakers are gunna be ready day 1 and they gotta send a message to everybody that were better and were gunna get on top again by beating the champs opening night.
From undrafted free agent to "I've tried to get (AD) to shoot more." 😎 Love the leadership.
So is Lebron fully healthy? Did he have surgery?
I'm still waiting the first Laker in NBA history to be capable of dunking from the freethrow line
Excited to see AD after a summer where he could focus more on his skills rather than rehab.
Lame ch
Hope Hayes will be replaced by whiteside or Derrick Favors
I predict Lakers beat Denver in the preseason opener with EASE!
Lakers fans will both make up anything and believe anything lmao. So gullible and ridiculous
Ppl were NEVER high on Jaxson Hayes what an absolute lie lmao. Acting like Christian wood is some superstar signing, freaking vet minimum player 😂😂
I cant trust AD. Yall keep pumping him up. Bron needs to be bron as long as he can.
Lebron James is about to lead the lakers to the finals ! This season going to be lit
We can only wish/hope . AD to me is a wild card . He does a good couple of games ,then he slumps
Grast this season Lakres king 👑 lebron James trading 2023-2024 seasons 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I can't wait to see Austin Reaves & Labron & the team to start playing together as a team so start playing for the NBA TITLE. Austin Reaves, In my apinion is the only Guard who can quaterback the offence!! He may have walked on, but HE IS NO WALKON !!!!😊
You guys should get Austin reaves on your show
To be realistic, AD and Vando improving their mid range shots will be a plus but I don't really expect them to go over 30% from the 3 point line. Yes, there are a few 3 point shooters on the team but most players (ie: AD, Lebron, etc.) can't shoot well from that range.
Who are the rookies this year?????
Locked and loaded. All we need is for the perfect buyout center midseason for 15th spot to throw another body at Joker.
Why can’t warriors face off with nuggets 🙄😑
I DO NOT WANT TO SEE AD SHOOTING 3'S
5 things that can destroy this team
1. Anthony Davis not wanting to play center
2. Austin reeaves thinking he is a star instead of a role player
3. RUI not wanting to come off the bench
4. DLO playing too get a contract instead of trying to win
5. Not signing a veteran center or veteran locker room presence
Lebron teams are always trash in preseason I don’t know why
They played defense the bubble year. We have to get back to the number one defense and then it’s over
I expect a 55+ win season not gonna lie ❤ Lakers lets go baby! Top 3 in west easily
We’re gonna be really good should start off the season well we’ve got the chemistry unlike other teams
