LeBron just retire already
It's actually better without the DIVA
Shai averaged 32 last year. Luka averaged 34 a year prior. He can definitely win the scoring title if he wanted to
You dont need Jax to have a Slovenian blood- he will be naturalized. All teams are allowed one naturalized player in FIBA competitions
Ally is fine but I prefer Trudell’s experience and insight over her any day of the week. She can host game nights but the pure sports talk can be left to the boys. Either way go Lakeshow!
Realistically it's better without Lebum and lebummy jr. Sit them out they only got 1 year anyway. Best is waive them both swallow the loss. Laker culture will be restored to winning not stat padding and drama.
Starting line up should be LeBron Luka Austin ayton and vando. the bench should be smart knecht rui laravia and Hayes
Boys come on, Lakers 60-22 Bucket You are all wrong
Lakers start 8-5 w/o Lbj
Lakers 4-6 5-5 you guys are delusional if you think it’s a fairly easy games 😂
Warriors
Grizzlies
Spurs
Hawks
Wolves
Those teams could beat you without LeBron James so those aren’t cakewalks now the Lakers could win those games against Atlanta Memphis, but the Warriors and wolves are gonna be tough so are the spurs
Lakers fans are the worst you don’t know basketball. You guys hate on the Berlin James because he’s better than Kobe Bryant ever was Kobe Bryant is dead so for you to cope you shit on LeBron. Pathetic
These guys are the biggest homers ever…..AR is a good defender? He's good at chasing Steph? Delusional
Trailblazers are gonna surprise, play in, may take 15-20 games to work things out. I follow the Lakers cause of Luka and I want the Lakers to do well for him.
Dallas built a nice, deep roster around Luka. Injuries killed them last year. If healthy, that's a very deep team. 4 – 10 on the roster, I see the Lakers as low middle tier at best in the the West. That was a problem in Dallas for a couple of years. Luka had to play hero ball for a lot of games. That, piss poor minutes management by Kidd, and a shit ton of cheap shots through the season wore him down. But those pricks painted it as "out of shape". Not sayin he was chiseled, but just sayin. Don't like Lakers ownership, like the Mav's owners even less. Lakers, 43-47 wins.
In my opinion names on piece of paper don't win championships.
In my opinion, I would love to see Gabe Gibson. I don't know if I'm saying his name, right the man I don't even know his name is Gabe Vinson or some s***, he needs to start. I would, I would want him to be in his lineup and possibly move. Luca Dante's to the shooting guard position leave Reeves on the bench.
For a few minutes then you put them in see how it goes in my opinion
Chris is trash
5 and 5
I'm from Los Angeles 1952. My personal opinion WE DON'T NEED THE DRAMA QUEEN (LABRON) FOR 7 YEAR'S NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS COMING FROM THIS PUNK ASS M'F (LABRON) NOW HIS SORRY ASS SON IS ON THE ROSTER.
Better trade him
