Look at how KD has done with Brooklyn/Phoenix, Kawhi with the Clippers, Embiid, then try to tell me winning a championship/FMVP and making an additional WCF, all past the age of 35 isn't a success lol.

How come the Celtics couldn't beat such an inferior and injured Heat team then?
Skill issue?

In the Bubble...choked...Maybe if Bam and Dragic were both injured like in the finals maybe they could have beat them. Who knows...playing against a team with injured bam and worthless Dragic who was putting up 20/5/4 before his injury is def the same thing..

Re: Was Lebron's Lakers stay a success?
Any stint with a team that includes a title is a success—and that’s especially true when the age of the player in that stint was 34-39 years old. I see this question as akin to asking if Steph’s years since Durant left have been a success—there have been a lot of disappointments, but there’s a title in there so the answer is definitely yes.

lakers were a wreck ,,,they no longer are
lakers won a covid ring when a young team(miami) the kind of which lebron is averse to, bounced not only the clear best team in the nba(bucks) but to me a buck team that OWNED the lakers. lebron didn't win a ring,,,it was gifted to him
final tally = "meh"

The Lakers need to trade Darvin Ham to the Suns for Frank Vogel to relive some of the Lakers' past glory.

Dang that sucks I'm sorry your team couldn't even win a Mickey Mouse bubble ring. That must be very difficult for you to live with.

To be fair Lebron is much older now. 30 year old Lebron with AD runs through the west and the rest of the league with no issues imo. Also that top 10 player is injured frequently unfortunately

Is there a reason ESPN keeps talking about the Lakers acquiring Donovan Mitchell?? Do these people know what a salary cap is
