Thunder have MUCH more talent than the Lakers right now though. Do you anticipate some big trades from the Lakers?


Exactly! OKC has a team, Lakers have LBJ, AD and bunch of janitors.

I've heard it through the grapevine..NBA gods have already designated Los Angeles LAKERS as NBA Champions in near future. The destiny is real. TRUST ME.

Not sure, but their depth is going to be a big problem.

Makes it harder for older Lebron to coast.

Not necessarily. The Lakers have a lot of work to do. They're still one of the worst 3-pt shooting teams in the league, and their defense has a ways to go.

Ehhh, they'll reach playoffs. Won't be a deep run, but they'll sniff it.

A team with LeBron and AD is not missing the playoffs.

Unless their supporting cast is absolute crap, which seems to be the case with their front office just running it back with the guys from last year. Danny Green is a great pickup, though.

Almost every team is a big injury to their best player from missing the playoffs. What a brave take from the OP.

I will say if Lakers dont win it this year its gonna be tough. No youth, no assets. Better hope Lebron returns to pre Lakers lebron and AD stays healthy which has been an issue

Fully agree. With the Roster that the Lakers,I expect them to win no more than 42 games next season.I wouldn't be surprised if they win around 35 games.

Feel free to bump in 9 months.

Lebron and AD who will miss 20 games each.

Kuzma, Danny Green.

Bunch of scrubs.

They also are now essentially capped next summer between those 4 guys, too and don't have any trade assets so this isn't getting any better next year unless they pivot.


When they make it to the finals can you let the mods delete your account?

I could see the Lakers adding 10 wins to last year's total.
