I'm always happy to watch Mr. Wiley and Mr. Acho because, they always bring it on the debate table. This makes me revisit certain arguments from different perspectives. Much respect guys.
Health is the problem not age, ya acting like these guys are old man who can’t walk. Clearly if the Lakers signed them i because Bron and AD and Russ signed off on it. Health is key.
What Acho is saying is, the older we get, the easier it is to get injured. And that is definitely true. Now that I'm 38, I have to stretch before working out. I know from personal experience that not doing it will get me injured now. Even at 30 I didn't have to stretch. Do you feel that's true for you too, or you still feel young and healthy?
Definetly the older you get the more careful you have to be, that’s why I said health. They have to make sure their bodies are well trained and treated before the season. I believe the Lakers brought Russ cause he can win you a lot of games in the regular season. ( Mr Trip Dub) so that AD and Bron can take games off during the season so they can stay well rested for the playoffs. The vets are gonna come in and play their roles. They don’t have to over do themselves everyone knows what their role is and plus we got some young players which is good. A mix of young and old. All we need is more 3-D wings
funny that the guy who started out calling his companion ignorant then proceeds to make the most ignorant arguments. The Lakers age does not give them an advantage. Their collective talent and experience gives them the advantage. It's the age that has the potential to "catch up with them". To use his own race analogy, a runner might have superior speed. That will give him an advantage in the beginning of the race. But maybe his opponent has superior stamina, so he is able to pass him in a longer race. So it was his speed that gave him the advantage, but it was his stamina that caught up to him. The thing that catches up to you doesn't have to be the thing that gives you the advantage.
I think his point is that the top teams in the west that they are competing against now all have significant recent playoff experience, so the composure and experience the vets on the lakers have doesn’t necessarily give them an advantage.
Age isn’t the problem for the Lakers. Is AD old? No, but he’s injury prone. It’s health that will determine; if the Lakers win another championship this upcoming season.
Back in the 70s and 80s they would smoke cigs at halftime. Athletes are way different than they was back then. Heath care is big with the GMC stuff out. Hire trainers and eat correctly and athletes age different.
Karl Malone getting hurt was due to Shaq waiting until the season started to get his surgery ("I got hurt on company time/imma heal on company time" - Shaq)😒,,, resulting in The Postman having to deliver more than he expected coming into the situation and eventually wearing out towards the end of the season... (F)s Devon George also injured himself mid season as well as Rick Fox
@Dreymond Purple wade( finals Mvp) Bosh. Ray Allen. ( best 3 point shooter ever.) Shawn Battier. Rashard Lewis. Juwan Howard. Poor Lebron having to carry these hall of famers and all stars. Lmfao
All of a sudden, all these analysts are killing the narative that The 91 Bulls beat the 91 Pistons because the Pistons were old. (Laimbeer -33yrs, Rodman & Thomas -29, Dumars -27, Salley -26. {Yet Rodman played his best ball in Chicago at ages 34 - 37yrs}).
But when 'the player' on your team that is in his prime is more injured then healthy, the age of the other players does become a possible negative factor.
@@hilmilosnowball7740 hello comming from your word itselt "possible" and maybe the word possible will also imply to other teams not only the Lakers, so please let us not judge the book by its cover brother. Let us wait and see what will gonna happen.

That’s why they got Dwight so ad ain’t gotta worry about playing the 5 & an aggressive guard like Westbrook will help on the boards I think he’ll be healthy this year like the bubble season 60-65 games maybe 70

Its a very nice balance of age actually, its just the older players are superstars... its gonna be amazing and tough for my warriros... lets see come December lol
Even though LBJ, Melo and Westbrook are all 32 yo above, they still play a lot better than most NBA players....so what's the problem? Look at their stats man....
If they can convince the King to give the young guns some work throughout the regular season they should be fine. Regardless it should be fun. Pulling for the OG's.
Marcellus is 100% correct All thr trams thst he mentioned they were old enough. I know the leauge is alot faster but if you slow down the game thats an advantage for them
Health is the biggest thing, not age. But frankly that's the case for all championship contenders except for maybe the Bucks. Nets, Suns, Clippers, Lakers all have injury concerns. All things equal in terms of health, the Lakers and Nets are probably the 2 best teams.
Man I like the Lakers moves, but I have to ask where are all the super team haters and why arent they jumpin on the Lakers!! Hmmm is.this only reserved for KD ?
Malone started and played 2004 finals games 1,2, 3, & 4. Malone went 30 minutes without a basket in game 1 despite having the most minutes on the court. Rasheed was too much for him on both ends of the floor. Malone got hurt in game 4 because Rasheed was just too much for him.
5 are over 35, 3 are 32 or 33, 3 relatively young players between 20 and 26 and AD in his prime at 28. This team is not even keel and the only player trully in his prime is the always injured AD. Last year the Lakers had an 'experienced' team too and it got them kicked out of the 1st round of the playoffs because of health. So in short, age is a big factor for this team in the sense that age comes with declining health.
@@punksjutgbd there point guard and guy that is the key is 36 And doesn't have Size on his side. And the lakers were up 2-1 before they got hurt. Only team you could pick is the bucks and they wouldn't of beat the nets if the nets didn't get hurt..
@@flacko_jody2130 CP3 is the oldest guy on the team. The rest are noolder than mid 20s. Lol. Also Cam Payne proved to be a very good point guard off the bench. So the point stands. The younger Suns team was clearly better and proved it.
I truly don't think Acho understood the question. The Lakers' age catching up to them is definitely a possibility because they are fighting against father time as much as they are against injury and the rest of the league.
How do you beat Thanos with the Infinity gauntlet? Form the avengers. Sure they’re old, beat up, tired… but they’re essentially a dream 2K team. While super teams are bad for the league (big 2s & 3s are fine), I’m glad Lakers made these moves to counter @KDTrey5’s cheat codes. Lakers in 4!
With Russ added, the Lakers are a contender. PERIOD!! And this opinion has nun to do with lebron. Im not the biggest Lebron fan by any means, but I respect Russ and his game/passion to play. A walking triple double
One of the keys to our Lakers winning will come down to Frank Vogel's rotation, he's going to have to learn to trust his bench more and spread those minutes out in the regular season, so the main guys won't be beat up come playoff time
I say it will because injuries going to be different from lebron then from ad,melo,and Russ then you got to think last year Lakers don’t have that run up and down the court and this year they older
*The team looks amazing on paper but watch that whole team fall apart in 3 seasons unless they figure out how to work together im really curious how there plays would go if they can some how use these pieces right i can see them wining maybe 1 or 2 chips cause that warriors team didnt even last that long and only got 2 😭*
Times have changed, players look after they body extremely well. But many in socitiey will comform to social bais norms opinions without keeping a open mind.!
Dwight is a champ, Westbrook has been to a finals and multiple conference finals, Nunn was just in the finals, Ariza is a champ, Acho wtf are you talking about their age doesn't help?
Most of these older players won't be relied on to do anything except play defense and make shots. They also won't play much more than 15-20 minutes a game
The thing is though the Lakers don't have 4 HOF's on the team like in 04'...they have 6!! Lebron, Russ, AD, Melo, Dwight & Rondo will all make the HOF.
Listen to No. 1 Ranked Show: foxs.pt/no1rjyoung
The lesson by Emmanuel is when you are old and you get hurt, you got hurt because you're old. When you're young and you get hurt, you just get hurt.

Dwight is a champ, Westbrook has been to a finals and multiple conference finals, Nunn was just in the finals, Ariza is a champ, Acho wtf are you talking about their age doesn't help?
Acho sounding like nick from first things first
Their lineup can win it all for sure.. They have a good mix of inter-changeable parts .
lakers are deadly scary right now and just think buyout market they could upgrade again maybe
Bro Marcellus is right
Most of these older players won't be relied on to do anything except play defense and make shots. They also won't play much more than 15-20 minutes a game
LETS GO LAKERS
Problems that Lakers are going to have is trying to keep LeBron and AD healthy and injury free. Add that to old man Carmelo as well.
We not even gone talk about how they disrespectful and got melo up there and not AD
I don't believe in Ad whatsoever
Well they won a ring healthy if they are healthy they can so I don’t understand? But it’s okay
The thing is though the Lakers don't have 4 HOF's on the team like in 04'...they have 6!! Lebron, Russ, AD, Melo, Dwight & Rondo will all make the HOF.
That's because your age got worst don't mean you know what their body going to feel like.
