Lakers & Nuggets are STILL NBA title contenders because of Luka Doncic & Nikola Jokic

1. I agree with the Lakers decision to move on without LeBron James. I think the new chapter had to start as soon as possible. LeBron would’ve never signed for the same money in LA. Maybe they will miss him more than they would like, but for me, it was still the best decision. The future has to start now. And now, this is truly Lucas team.

2. Houston is way better than Lakers and Nuggets. They get all players back from injury + additions. Cmon man, be serious.

3. If the Lakers so excited why are you constantly talking about the greatest basketball player of all time LeBron James 🐐 ?? Lol Lakers ain't doing shit and if you was a credible source you would know that 🤡 Asstin Reeves is a 6 man not even a starter. You are completely delusional or just a serial liar

4. Funny lakers with the big 3 weren't contenders. Now lebron left and the playoff squad. And was replace by mostly bench player and a center who played 5 games, now they are contenders???

5. Yearly nuggets propaganda from big media members just for them to get embarrassed by the wolves

6. AR gunna ball out of his mind without Bron…

7. The lakers will be a top 3 seed in the west. They got significantly better this offseason and people have their blinders on. Trust me when I say this: this lakers team we competing every night. We saw Luka drag last years team to the 4 seed and was one game away from a 3seed like 2025, he’s going to be fine with this roster

8. Delusional homer take

9. 😂😂😂 Luka wasn't even available for the post season.

10. nobody is beating second apron idc how good you are. but lakers should be a legit contender after 1 year of chemistry and with a couple of small signings so they can make another move next year adding anyone they might need or keep

11. Every single year morons in these comment sections say the Lakers will suck and might miss the playoffs and every year the Lakers win around 50 games and prove everyone wrong. Will they win a championship this year? Probably not. Are they a top 5 team in the West at worst? Absolutely.

12. Nuggets got significantly worse, lost their best shooter in THJ who was huge for them last season. Haven't re-signed Brown and might lose Peyton too. Their defense is awful too and Jokic is a cone rim protector

13. jokic and luka need to team up. no defense and very overpowered offense 😂

14. Yea this guy is a lakers fan disguised as a Lebron fan 😂😂 cause aint no way 😂😂😂

15. Imagine the Lakers with AR, 42 year old LeBron for $30-40 mil, and street clothes AD on a 2-3 year extension around $40 mil…this would be reality for LA if they didn’t trade for Luka.

16. Lebron has had a negative value for years, but the guy just can't help himself and has to constantly talk about him like he's some kind of divine figure, it's completely annoying and he otherwise has pretty good opinions and analysis.

17. Nuggets aren't contenders unless they can actually stay healthy which they haven't been able to do through the whole Jokic era. The only year they went into the playoffs with an intact roster was 2023 when they steamrolled to a title. But that was a complete outlier. Last year their rotation guys missed over 200 total games due to injury–miraculously they still won 54 games. Re the Lakers, since this group hasn't played a game together why not wait a few months into the season before proclaiming them contenders?

18. More shameless LeBron glazing.

19. 2:42 😂 how does anybody in their right mind thinks the Lakers this year will be a better roster than last years. Luka‘s best Lakers roster is behind him.

20. F bombs seem a bit forced 😅

21. Lakers are not contenders 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

22. No, Don't give Fts to the whiners..well see if they even make the play in.

23. That is alot of "If healthy"
