Melo looks like he just came off a 1800 tequila commercial

Oh cool, I wouldn't know who the big performers of the night were unless I saw their Draft Kings ratings.

The gambling ads are by far the worst part about modern NBA and sports in general.

It's hilarious. It would be hard to assemble a more decorated but ringless crew.

I literally can't think of anyone within the last 25 years. AI maybe.

i dont think they will have the ability to put a chip level team around luka the next 3 years. it will be very difficult with such a poor talent base overall.

and it's probably impossible to trade lebron without major repercussions from klutch sports down the road.

Lebron has a no trade

Ayton or Robert Sacre. Trying to decide who was the worst player in the Lakers jersey

Cason Wallace would be the 2nd best player on the lakers. i'll be really interested to see what they look like in february, other than Luka everyone else is on the table to be traded.

Lakers look outmatched

Their roster construction is just not ideal

Yeah, as expecred, this is a terrible Lakers team, and if Reaves isn't playing well they have no one...
Luka is all alone this year.
Defense wins draft lotteries!
