OKC wonβt get past Denver next spring. So sad.
Really only need two playoff series winning players.
Can't these players be thought good denfence….it's not about getting another player it's about discipline them on defense…coach teach them defense ….
Motor-boated?
You all better have a time machine for lbj bc that's the only thing that will help you
Lakers aren't going to win because they have JJ Redick that thinks playing Bronny James is a good decision. Just because he has soul. π
Luka and Reaves shot a combined 11-32 from the floor. That's the end of the game right there. Lakers are 3rd to last in rebounds. Ayton was supposed to change that. And the fact that they don't have a true power forward hurts those numbers.
Who gonna be okc? There got Hella depth
Windy still hanging on Lebron like a lost puppy. Guys alright but he has a career and is on ESPN because Lebron exists so youβll never hear him be unbiased talking about him.
For those not old enough he was a local small time writer for Akron but just so happened to cover lebrons high school so espn started talking to him when bron was 16-17 and became the Lebron βexpertβ because that.
OKC is not likely going to be beat this year unless they have major injuries. The Lakers need a top flight big man either at the 4 or 5 position to play with Luka & AR. If they somehow manage to get Giannis in the next couple years, that would be a game changer. If LeBron finally hangs it up after this year, they need to spend that cap space money wisely.
Wait till we have a on day in la with LeBron back and Reaves on might b different
Ah it'd be nice to have objective analysis. Guess Small media it is..
Windy keeps his eye on the prize I'll give him that. LeBron calls him a weirdo and without flinching he continues to fluff for himπ klutch money is hard to turn away from I'm sure
I think this dude opinion way off and not good. Jabber jaws lol find something u know about to talk about π
I am surprised that Windshorst talk about get Irving, when the Lakers weak is interior defense. A big stopper to hold players which scape to the lack of good defensive guards
I canβt stand these LeBronβs jock sniffers at ESPN. SMH,
LEBRON DONT PLAY DEFENSE THEY WOULD LOSE BY 40
3 BALL HANDLERS WiTH SUB PAR DEFENSE STILL LOSE BY 40
I would trade Reaves and Gabe Vincent for Powell and Wiggins.
I feel much better about the Lakers chances with a starting lineup of Luka, Powell, Wiggins, Lebron and Ayton than I do with their current lineup despite Reaves being the better player. Lakers would matchup better against OKC, Houston, Denver,GS and San Antonio. Especially against OKC and Houston. Wiggins guarding SGA, Powell guarding J Dub, Luka on Dort, Lebron on Chet and Ayton guarding Hartenstein.
Whoever says trade reaves for JA is not really a Lakers fan they know nothing about bball
I would rather have Oklahomaβs draft picks if I were the Mavericks!
Laker worried about thunders is like I am worry about Elon Musk make more money than me. Not even in the same league. Worry about how to be competitive and get in the playoff first!
Windy blowing wind
