The Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2025 NBA Season

[UK Cowboy]

it was good enough IMO. Does he need a superteam? If you got Irving as a sidekick and a top probably 20 player ever and lively and washington, , you got a pretty good team. but Celtics own Doncic's soul. they zero in on him defensively and he can't do anything..

and it isn't like the Celtics are on the 01 Lakers, 90s Bulls, KD/steph warriors level either as far as finals opponents go. . They are pretty much on 1996 Orlando magic level.. Dallas is also a really good team. they were then, they are now. If they didn't have a rash of injuries, they very well could be in the NBA finals again this year with AD/Irving. I wouldn't have been shocked if a healthy Dallas Team doesn't beat the Thunder in the playoffs.

Are you drunk or do you mean any of that? Because the option is drunk or stupid. Who exactly was beating the Celtics last season? They would have beaten any team that came out of the West in 4-5 games. Luka CARRIED them out of the West...When Luka came here, NO ONE had the Lakers anywhere near the Finals this season, NO ONE. Now, not only are they one of the favorites, you rip their ass because they aren't playing like the Showtime Lakers. Why don't you quit moving the goalposts Bro? AD had this same supporting cast last season...I didn't see his ass in the Finals. He has the same supporting cast Luka carried to the Finals last season. If it's like you say, AD should lead Dallas to a Championship this year...because otherwise, he's not as good as a fat, lazy Luka. Right? So let's see it

Nuggets would have beaten the Celtics probably. (Celtics aren't all that. One and done team. I doubt they even get by the Cavs.. and if they do they will get their asses handed to them by the Thunder) The just ran into a bad matchup with Minnesota.. I would rather have AD then Luka yes. Because talented big men (Especially today) are far more rare and a difference maker than just another talented offensive perimeter player that plays no defense. . Lakers were stupid trading for AD for Luka. which I said from the very beginning. . The only issues with the AD Lakers was they kept running into Denver since Joker is better than AD. Well, this year it may not have happened, Instead of trading AD away they should have just gotten some perimeter defenders. Lakers may have won the title this year. But the trade away their only advantage over other teams with AD. The problem just compounded. Why? Cause they didn't improve their defense a lick and added getting rid of their offensive dominant interior player AD. Lebron/AD and now Reaves and Knecht coming into their own WITH some added perimeter defenders is championship material. When it gets to the late stages of the post season, AD and perimeter defenders>>>> Luka and no added perimeter defenders who can't get any stops

I get it now...drunk AND stupid...
So Denver would have beaten the Celtics last season huh? Except, wait...The T'Wolves beat the Nuggets in the semis(AFTER the Nuggets defeated your superhero AD and this Lakers cast 4-1, but we'll table that for a sec...). So the T'Wolves, who whipped the Nuggets ass after the Nuggets beat the shit out of AD and the Lakers should have had zero problems with Luka and the Mavs...except, wait, the Mavs kicked the living dogshit out of the T'Wolves 4-1, despite the Wolves having home court advantage....and you somehow take from all that that AD is better than Luka and the Nuggets would have beaten last years Celtics....LMAO, keep hitting the Crown and make sure someone else has your car keys

LOL. ok.. We'll see how your precious no defense Luka Lakers do this year and in the future if you want to throw some ridiculous money at him, to be a fat ass and play no Defense. Come on man.. This team is barely getting by the G-league Pelicans and struggling with the Bulls FFS

 

[Jordan23]

What you posted shows him driving to the bucket then whatever contact there was isn't visible. It just shows him on the ground. You didn't post the entire clip you weird hater.

That was another video angle. Pretty clear still he just ran into green and laid down for minutes. Half the people ignored it for a bit too cause they all know LeBron by now lol

I'll bet you a lifetime ban that if Luka plays the next 10 years in L.A. he wins at least one Championship, though I think the number will be 2-3

Luka won't be at a high level in 3 years much less 10 unless he starts taking his fitness seriously dude The older you get if you're out of shape, the injuries start piling up faster

Last year he led the league in minutes and played through the finals. The Lakers picked him up after an injury that still nags him. I get you hate the player, but you simply couldn't be more wrong.

I dont hate the guy, I never met him.. I just said it was a STUPID trade and it was. (based on the manpower the Lakers currently have) Dallas knows more than you do about the guy's commitment to the game. They wouldn't have ran him out of town and unless they saw there was some serious problem there. I don't know how you win chips without defense. Bottom line. Those mid 2000's Suns were the best offensive team I've ever seen.. They couldn't win a chip.

The new owners don't know more about him than I do LMAO. They just got to town. They are BUSINESS PEOPLE. Let me clue you in genius....EVERY other GM but Nico thought it was a terrible fucking deal for the Mavs and were pissed the Lakers got him for just AD. They think it was a conspiracy. And they all know more than you. Troll

 

[DorianRo]

If they could have found a way to keep AD and get Luka. Hell yea.. Do it. Thats championship material. Oh but Lebron has a no trade clause or some BS. At 40.. Lord . and you have to play his division 3 talent kid. Yea. . . Again, people can "think" what they want. But the Mavs front office witnessed some issue with Luka every day. all these armchair quarterbacks didn't have to deal with Luka on a daily basis..

I can tell by the guy's flabby ass physique, he aint putting the work in. How can you be at the highest level of pro sports and still be fat? answer that for me. You're getting paid to do this. Its not a hobby

Marcus Morris thinks the Lakers are going to win the title this season.

Gonna be tough to get through the Thunder and Celtics/Cavs in the finals. The championship goes through those 3 teams. Lakers don't play defense, they're gonna have to outscore them.. thats a rough ask. and then you got the warriors/Nuggets that are easier teams to beat but still very difficult to beat. With Lebron already in his 40s, unless he turns back the clock, I don't how he has the gas to get through that

They didn't get him for just AD and you know this. They also got Max Christie and he has shown in Dallas that he can be a good player.

So you can't post an unedited video. Got it. You're just being a typical hater trying to talk shit.

You fake rage over that play is truly amazing.

Anyway have fun with your obsessive LeBron disorder.

Final Four's right around the corner and I got game day grub to make.

And the other GM's STILL threw a hissy fit. You're proving my point

Sure, we got Luka but took back garbage in Kleber and Morris.

Meanwhile, AD, Christie and a 1st went to Dallas.

I wanna know what MM is smokin'. That's crazy talk.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Kleber just got cleared for activities and hopefully he can be a good shooting backup C and we can release Len.
