He's playing the least minutes after a very long offseason this year. Plus better to have this cushion built early in the season with LeBron still coasting in some games.


LeBron has mastered the in-game load management since about 2 years ago. Next level stuff.

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.

How did I miss this thread... :lol:

They done it yesterday!

Thread like this is one of the big reason why LeBron would be the MVP without the amazing season of Giannis.

The hate for Lebron clouds a lot of people’s judgement

Don’t worry though, if the Lakers lose in the playoffs the haters will come out of the woodworks again like clockwork. Right now they can’t say much.

This is a very well deserved bump for Lakers fans. See Lakers fans, I'm not such a Lakers hater. I didn't post one thing in this thread when it was going around. I figured it was a troll thread and didn't agree.

Anyway, have at em Lakers fans.

Funny thing is.... the Lakers didn't really add anyone of notice to the roster since the OP, other than Dwight.

But those who make threads like the OP (and the others agreeing with him) about the supporting cast being awful, they'll be the first ones to say how stacked the Lakers are now and how it'll be a massive failure if they don't win it all.
