Just what will the Lakers be? 

Post#1 » by magickingdom » Sat Jun 22, 2019 2:42 pm

So they have 2 superstars and at this point what else? All this talk about a 3rd star is crazy. Then how much money would they have to pay anyone else? Even now, what kind of team will they have? One built with 2nd round picks, a few decent role player, and some end of the road vets?
Will anyone really be scared to play them?
Defend the 2 well and let the D leaguers beat you?
What are your thoughts about the Lakers?
And yes I know this is the Magic board, just not a lot else to talk about right now. You all stay current, so I just wanted to read your thoughts.

If they’re smart, they’ll use their cap room to fill out the roster with shooters/defenders and play makers. I’d go after JJ, Beverley, and Ross. However, they’re hell bent on getting a third star so they’ll probably end up with kemba or Kyrie I’d they can make room, then fill out the roster with ring chasing vets. Might work next year because the league is wide open now. I’d be weary though, AD has an extensive injury history, Lebron is getting old and has had a few injuries the past few years, AND they have Vogel running things. Oh, and It’s only a matter of time before Kidd decides to stir some **** up behind the scenes. AND they have pelinka running things. It’ll be a **** show IMO.

They’re overrated.

First round playoff eggsit.

Also, this is the Magic board. Not the Lakers board.

Keep conversations about other teams in the Spec thread or the Around the NBA thread. Closing this one.
