It's not like the Lakers missed the playoffs last year. They have Lebron & AD, when u have 2 players of that caliber you have a chance. They'll be fine.
They’d be fine if they were playing in the past season again, but they’re not. Most every team in the West got better while the Lakers got complacent. The Lakers will be a father son story team this year😬
Lebron and AD were the healthiest they've last season as they've been in years! What happens this year when they likely suffer more injuries and they didn't improve the team at all? They are cooked.
The Lakers don’t have a 2-Guard with previous NBA experience finishing Set Plays for 3-pointers that require movement without the ball first. Nobody point guards D’Angelo or Gabe Vincent can run SPECIAL PLAYS WITH FOR CATCH & SHOOT 3-POINTERS
Ok.. The Lakers were only FOUR games out of 4th place last season!! Everybody says the Lakers weren't any good,well neither was most of the teams in front of them. 🤷♂️

@@jerrellharris3753 people really think bron a pg because he always has to run the offense! he doesnt know how to play off the ball! this is why westbrook was getting blamed when LA was losing with him! lebron makes everyone change they game he never adapts to the team overall its always about how he needs to play!
Just learned about LeBron greatest NBA record. In this category he has 700 more than the 2nd place guy, and 1200 more than Kobe Bryant. Its a playmaking stat that shows how efficient a playmaker is Turnovers. LeButterfingers has 5200+ Turnovers. Unbelieveable!!!
The Lakers have very good offensive talent, but the problem is that they only have one consistent two way player, which is AD. This isn't close to a championship roster unless Reddick can turn them into a 120 PPG offense.
Should have saved that final 15th roster spot for a NBA Playoff tested 2-Guard that averages at least 2.3--3-pointers made per game instead of giving it to #55 Draft Pick, rookie Bronny

Be real. Bron is 40. No one is joining him or helping the lakers win another championship in LA. Best thing the lakers can do is offer the warriors all their picks and youth to try and get steph curry for one last go at it. And if that doesn’t work, offer bron an out to rescind his contract and go sign a one year deal to join the warriors. Playing alongside Steph bron looked ten years younger. It was impressive to watch.
Is this a joke? Lebron’s practically the GM. It’s posts like this that make me believe ESPN is his propaganda machine. If he’s so great and he makes so many players around him better, all he needs is another all star and some solid role players. And he’s already got that. He even got them to sign his son.
He did NOT take a team friendly deal he took a pay cut singularly for bronny to be drafted with guaranteed money and a contract yall so stupid I swear! This is why LA couldnt land any notetable free agent over the summer! nobody is tryna waste they time with lebron its a sacrifice for him to get the credit for helping him win! players figured this out they not with it nomore especially now Lebron 40 and not the same player! Lebron scored the most pointless 25 a games for the lakers over the last several seasons! he doesnt impact the game how he used to! 1 bubble title in 6years but he gets talked about like he wins the chip every year its hilarious!
They tried to make moves. Teams don’t deal in good faith with them. It’s a pattern. Lakers interested in player A. Team B wants 3 1sts Austin Reaves and Rui. Lakers say it’s too much and don’t do the trade. Team B then trades play A to team C for 2 2nd’s and random players
