LeBron and Kawhi aren't enough to beat GS. Hell, may not be enough to beat the Rockets.

Oh we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Yeah cause any team with lebron is garbage. Lol. Salty bro. Plus. Is the summer over? You’re assuming it’s the same team from last year.

Good for him.

Interested to see what happens with our guys now. Honestly hope we trade Love for picks and tank it this year so we can keep our own pick but I think Gilbert has way too much pride for that unfortunately.

its all geography. has nothing to do with their front office, coaching, scouts, or the team they have built. the true MVP is whoever moved the team to LA many years ago. magic did nothing.


Its incredible, how in just one hour, the SALT on this board flipped from Laker fans to NBA fans.

I LOVE IT.

And if they don't get Kawhi what other options do they have, injured DMC? Seems like it will be at least 1 lost season for LBJ.



Hopefully they max out Randle and either Capella or Gordon.

Not me. I will now lustily cheer on the Warriors. Part of me was rooting for this so I could actually want GS to keep dominating, lol.


Eh. I'm actually a Lebron fan dude. He's very likable for me and I want him to break Kareem's points record and win another ring or two and go down as the GOAT. Plus I'm sick of watching GS win.

Not really.

People are gonna be bored to death with the EC.

BOS has a clear path to dominate it unless somehow by some miracle PHI manages to trade for Kawhi & keep him.

Ball
Ingram
Lebron
Kuzma
Randle

That's a 55 win team. Throw in DMC and it's a WCF+ team.


the lakers won 35 games last year. lebron adds 20 wins?

Cousins or maybe Kawhi.

Still don't believe LeBron would have signed after PG dropped out without being promised someone else joining him there.
