I mean it's to the point should we just act like whatever Broussard says is equal to some random guy off twitter lol

Anyone can guess, hes just on TV for some reason, guessing.

Magic Johnson: Lakers 'almost unbeatable' with addition of Avery Bradley

So the Lakers an 8 seed? lol

But in all seriousness if they can stay healthy I think they will be a top 4 seed.

lol

Magic really needs to just STAWP.

The Lakers have done a much better job recovering from not getting Kawhi than anyone, myself included, thought possible.

But "almost unbeatable'?

They are a contender, just like about 8-10 other teams.

Those are pretty fucking good....

Tried them last night, was surprised. The shells were like home made chips wrapped around the ingredients (not sure if this was the intended result though, lol). They're OK for fast food tacos.

Apparently agreements mean nothing to you. All I’m saying is the thunder gave players the option to rethink their commitments, jeez.

Not sure why you are getting your panties in a wad here. Was looking for a reason to credit OKC as I thought maybe they let him out AFTER he had signed.

You get he agreed to the deal before he knew of the possible blow up of the roster, right? such a terrible thing to change his mind under those circumstances?

So hard to tell with all the player movement in the league, but I hope so (obviously). A lot of new teammates to get used to each other in LA...

He wanted the Clippers.

But, not by himself after the Davis trade.

If the Clippers didn't find him a co-star, he was going to the Lakers.

Yes, he stalled you to give his first choice the chance to meet his conditions.

But, I believe he would have signed with you had the George trade not happened.

Agree and it matches up with what has been reported out here. It's Kawhi, so we're unlikely to ever know everything. But there's enough out there to support that.

From what's been reported, it was actually Kawhi's camp that asked the Pels, et al, to delay completion of the AD trade until he made his decision.

^ This is dead on... especially in terms of the regular season.

In fairness, the Lakers potential (at full effort) is much better than 'just another contender.' So come playoff time, we can all well imagine a flip being switched to some extent.

But in the regular season... with LeBron giving regular season effort? The Lakers are gonna have a couple of poor defenders on the floor at seemingly all times... and if you give almost any team in the NBA opportunities from the 3 pt line, they are liable to light things up.

So it'll be a scoring race throughout the regular season for the Lake Show... and that's a race they'll win their fair share, but that's a far cry from whatever Magic is talking about.

Yep. Assuming they get there healthy and rested, we should get "playoffs Lebron" which can be a beast.

But even if they flip a switch, unless Vogel works some defensive magic, they are going to have to make a move or 2 before the deadline to shore up their perimeter defense.

Kyle Korver looking at three contenders?

Korver — whose expiring contract could be waived for the cost of $3.4 million — will consider signing with the Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers once he clears waivers, league sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Guess this fan has no hard feelings.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Getting in the room only matters if you seal the deal.

Kind of like with a woman.....

I believe Kawhi didn't want to play with LeBron.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Please!!!!

You’re begging for Korver?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I believe Kawhi didn't want to deal with the drama of LeBron.
