more "insight" from our favorite bandwagoner...?
the Lakers will have a better record, but there is definitely no guarantee the Lakers win a playoff series thats for sure. If they get Kawhi- sure--- but if they dont and just roll with this team? yikes i dunno.
I 100% agree actually.
Next year if they get Kawhi, when is what? 28 years old and still in his prime? thats an amazing signing. Kawhi can help carry lebron into his golden years. IF they get Kawhi though, with the other stuff they have going on, can they then afford a 3rd max? i suppose that will depend on kuzma, ingram, ball etc. and whether they are worth it or not- whether they want to re-up those guys or trade them for a third guy (or even trade them for Leonard soon).
Next year the Lakers should be a lot better---- but i dont think anyone is ready to guarantee Leonard is going there. So many people thoguht Love was going there. So many people, including me, thought Paul George was going there for sure.
I am not so sure about this. Lets look at the cavs roster.
Sexton (who knows how good he will be)
Hill
Kover
Love
TT
Love last year averaged 17 and 10 shooting 40%+ from 3, and this was with limited touches...He is now the #1 guy...
Plus they play in the east. Lebron struggled without kyrie, but when love went out last year and they had no stars and just some shooters, they were terrible.
It basically depends on if they trade love or not...
i think he does fit but do you realize that KCP spent half the year in jail last year and was allowed out to play games on work release?
he had a jail sentence because he kept missing his alchol and drug testing from a dui he got--- he was in contempt and thrown in jail.
Think of that collection of head cases -- KCP, McGee, Rondo, Stephenson--- the Lakers spent almost 30 million on psychopaths. lol.
like u said- at least they are only 1 year deals.
I do need to make this clear.
Overall, I love what the Lakers are trying to do long term. But damn some of the pieces they brought on this year. LOL.
You do realize that is a horrendous team, right?
Go look at the 6-10 seeds from the East and tell me how you think this group stacks up. It isn't Pretty.
and we saw what happened to George.Leonard is basically doing what paul george did last year...

The LAkers better hope that if they dont trade for George, that a team like the Sixers does not make a move.
If Leonard got to the Sixers, got integrated into that team and used to playing with Simmons and Embiid- and got to the Finals- which i think they would get to the Finals with him there- the question then becomes----- does Leonard leave a Finals team, does he leave his Bird Rights and more money, to go to LA and compete against hte Warriors in the West?
he very well might go to LA- but i think, like George, there is a chance he could be happy and stay. Right?

Kevin Love won 40 games in the west with worse
If sexton is good, they will be good
And the east sucks, i like the odds
LMAO.
No, he didn't.
Besides, that was a young Kevin Love and back when the West wasn't nearly as dominant as they are now.
Love is the only player on the roster who is an above average NBA starter. And that is all he is. The rest are either bench players or low end starters.
You are terribly overrating your Cav players. I guess some things never change.
its certainly not good....but rank the teams in the EastYou do realize that is a horrendous team, right?
Go look at the 6-10 seeds from the East and tell me how you think this group stacks up. It isn't Pretty.
Unless lebron goes into god beast mode they may not even make the playoffs, plus he's now 34
Lebron thrives around good spot up shooters, and the lakers have none
At least he's still a Cavs fan and not coming over to the Lakers.....
None? They needed to add some but they have more than NONE.
Ingram made 39% o his 3's.
Kuzma made 37%.
KCP made 38%.
Hart made 40%.
Rondo made 42% in the playoffs so he's certainly capable.
And James made 37%.
if that Cavs team wins 40 games i'll eat my fuckin' cap...WITHOUT ketchup...
