Of course they improved but the question is can they win it all? Still needs an upgrade. Look at the other teams
I literally said in 2015 bron will NEVER be bad. He’s gonna retire with his averages. He’ll never see a bench
Lukas main problem is ,when he doesn't get his way he argues mid play with refs, he did it in Dallas , I guarantee Rick Carlisle was fed up im sure Jason Kidd wasn't impressed with that part of his game . He needs to play through it
You ain't getting no money if yo knees aint showing 😂😂😂 Lav a fool
Geez Windhorst is low energy, take a nap dude!
The betting lines for each division is all heavy favorites except for the Lakers division. They are +185 and clippers are +175
Anthony Edward’s go either leave or realize Rudy gobert not having an offensive bag is the problem lol 😂
If they can get rid of lebum they're probably contenders
#1 RULE FOR 1980S, I GIVE 110%,
Oh dear … doncic can help as a defender you say … totally agree …but not with LeBron and Reaves on the floor !!!!
LeBron is a One on one threat.. any open shot is scary… they’ll get another player who can score
Le Diddy need to retire already, bored of seeing him.
The truth about facials. Larry Bird, Kareem and Jordan all had more FACIALS SHOTS AGAINST DOUBL AND TRIPLE TEAMS THAN LEBRON HAS FACIAL DUNKS. LEBRON NEVER GETS DOUBLE TEAMED
They also rebounded, steals, and passed. These players also demanded to take last shot to win
And every time Larry SHOT at the end of game, people's JAWS WERE OPEN IN AWE. WAITING
so swapping DFS for ayton(Lakers had no center),smart(Lakers had no guard Defender), and laravia+thiero(Lakers had no depth and still lack some) Is not improving for a team that was the 3rd seed last year got it
Bontemps is a CERTIFIED LAKER HATER.
This should be pointed out every episode.
Is this really a debate ? Of course lakers got better they got a few centers lost DFS but replaced him with Marcus smart one of the best defenders in the league
DA is top 5 center right now, at worst top 10! He is the most important player we have acquired during this offseason, walking double-double for his career. As a Laker’s fan we have always had one of the top centers starting with Wilt. As we are now , let’s go 😎
Why are we Even Making this A question? Yes. They got their Center with Ayton. Replaced Shake Milton and Goodwin With a Former DPOY in smart. Replaced DFS with Wings like Lavarvia And Theiro. Resigned Hayes as well.
