Ummmm….

That’s ring chasing. He needs the Lakers more than the Lakers need him. His game is redundant with something Bron already brings. He doesn’t fit their defensive identity they’re building. One can even argue with the growth of Reaves floor game that as a Plan B option to Point LeBron Reaves is a better option than CP3 because Reaves isn’t going to get all delusional about his role on the team. Ironically, the place for CP3 is likely going back to the Clippers if they decide to run it back with PG and Kawhi. He’s what you wanted John Wall to be.

Ummmm….

lol

The Lakers are the favorite to land everybody according to some of these guys.

Nuggets in 6. I know some people believe in ref conspiracies and that the league will help the Lakers, but such things aren't true. Nuggets have been great this season and they have a great homecourt advantage.

...and split the season series with the pre-deadline Lakers.

How do the Lakers get CP3? Is his guarantee getting waived before 6/23? The only way the Lakers can afford him is with the MLE or less.

Denver sweeps. Maybe a gentlemen's sweep.. Denver may not lose a game the rest of these playoffs. AD just got to camp out around the rim and do whatever he wanted against the midget Warriors. Won't happen against Denver

 

[shopson67]

Btw, is ANY team in the NBA "built, not bought" these days...?

Asking for a friend...

So far? Teams that need to buy a vet, like OKC, Houston, Orlando, etc to make that next step.

Does Lebron give you ulcers?

Lebron is a 2nd fiddle now. Hes the the Kobe 2000-2002., Riding the big fella's back

You said Denver wouldn't lose a game after the first game of the first round lol. Have you ever been right about anything?

Yea they lost a few but who cares? They're still gonna win the title relatively easy. So who cares There is no team left that can beat them 4 times. Suns had the best shot

Then stop saying clown shit like they aren't gonna lose a game. You predict they win the series....ok cool, they might. They might lose too...Lakers play defense 10x better than the Suns

LOL. Only chance Lakers have are the Refs with blatant HomeCooking. AD won't get whatever he wants like he did against the Warriors. When AD is out of the equation, Lakers are out of the equation since the team's success begins and ends with him

Yep. That would be the thinking. Suns bail on the contract. CP3 takes the midlevel to ring chase.

Like I said the next time you're right about something will be the first. And you got them winning the title easily? LOL at you.

They are winning the title easy so far. Suns were their biggest obstacle

They aren't beating the Lakers, Sixers, or Celtics easily. This series vs the Lakers will be 6 or 7 games. So will the Finals, if they get there.

You don’t think that LeBron with a max total of 14 games left doesn’t have a different level to give? AD is going to get his too.

Ummmm….

They don’t need him or want him, guessing
