Once mcnug and okc are both hopefully knocked out I can be at peace with a new champion for the 8th year in a row. Or whatever it is.

If any team repeats next it better be us.

This might sound cocky coming from a Laker fan, but having Luka on board and If we can get 1-2 centers our chances are much higher to repeat b4 any other team, who ever wins this year won't repeat and we should be able to win In the next 2-4 years If properly done building around Luka :nod:

But let's win that next chip first shall we.

I hate to admit it but OKC’s defense might be the best team defense I’ve seen in the NBA, like maybe ever. It’s a ridiculously suffocating system.

Halfway into game one, I’m still convinced no team can beat them in seven right now. Because of their defense.

Naz Reid was just extended. He or JJJ would be perfect PF candidates for us.

Ayton baby, let's get Ayton.

I know some of you are down on him thinking he has a loser mentality etc, but him being on a new team and especially with Luka omg.

Not really high on Dame. I'm not even sure if he can play at all this season, but if we can get him for cheap then we should do it.

Pass on Dame. We need fresh legs not a guy who is going to be a complete turnstile on defense coming off this injury.

Pls tell me that’s a joke. You seriously think DAL will accept this? They will just give lowball offer aka what happened in what HOU offered to PHX in Durant trade.
