The Lebron '20 Thread (Pt. 7)

[nzahir]

They can’t score without the white guys. But they have no shot at even having chance of stopping Lebron from walking to the basket on a switch.

They look pretty ****.

I've been saying this for a minute. Our role players are so good cuz they're 2-way lol. There's no reason to think the Heat got us across the board. The one guy the Heat had that's clearly better than KCP was Dragic and he's out. The role players are a tossup. Dwight is playing somewhere between Dennis Rodman and Tristan Thompson level. Rondo hitting 3s automatically places him at like late career JKidd level. Caruso GOAT. C'mon sonnn

I feel like I have disrespected some of our role guys, maybe it’s my bias to prop Lebron, but I love how many are 2 way guys

I don’t want to focus yet on offseason moves, 3 more wins and we can focus on roster moves

[LikeABosh]

Curious to see how the Heat respond. A 75-30 run in the Finals is alarming. That's like a 2017 Cavs-Celtics type of massacre

[dreamshake]

Wonder if Darren Collison is having any regrets about turning down the Lakers? Kinda funny in hindsight we thought he might be the key to their title chances. Wonder how things would've played out between him & Rondo as far as minutes if he'd signed.

I’m excited for next season. I want to see if the Warriors can contend again, how the KD-Kyrie Nets look, for Denver and Dallas to potentially each take another step, if Miami can add another piece, and how LAC and Milwaukee look after disappointing exits.

If the Lakers win this title, I’m really curious if they’ll follow it up with a dominant regular season next year.

I think a 65-70 win season is possible if they get the right guy.

Rumors Beal moved to La and hed literally be the perfect fit with Bron/Ad. Thats def a 70 win team

You'd have to give up a smaller version of 'the farm' for Beal. The stable? I feel like they'd want all of DG, Kuzma, Caruso, THT. Maybe we still somehow keep Kuzma. Is that enough depth with Beals previous history? Idk if the Big 3 model is sustainable like others. It drains too many resources

I just don’t see LeBron putting in the minutes and games to do this. If this is AD’s new level then it’s possible, but you’d have to have everything go right. They add a ring chasing minimum guy who can be a plus player, Green and KCP hit 40%+ from three, Kuzma actually takes a step up, Caruso takes a step, THT continues Tim develop...then maybe with some luck.

I do know one thing for sure: If the Lakers win the title this year, LeBron is going to be relaxed as ****

[Dupp]

Praise jeebus for AD man. Unbelievable

[Dupp]

I’ve taken time off to watch game 3 and 4 ( games 2 and 5 are in weekends) so hopefully it finishes in 5.


Probably getting way ahead of myself but I did the same in 2016 when we were down 3-1.

They were basically locked to win 60 games despite Bron playing like 34 minutes a game in the Rs

With a star like Beal or a revamped better roster at the least I think thats very doable. Ad will most likely have a much better Rs next year too specially with a star ballhandler like Beal or someone for when Bron sits

I dont expect Gs to contend barring signing a huge name like Giannis or Kat.

Honestly I think ppl will be surprised at how poorly they look next season as they deal with alot more switching in the Rs without Kd and Iggy. Draymond has just gotten worse and worse every Rs and hes a non factor offensively when he doesnt have the ball if not a flatout liability. Defensively he cant put the same effort he used to for 82 games either

If there was a line on them missing the playoffs Im biting on it TBH

Lakers, Mavs, Clips, Nuggs, Rockets, Jazz, Suns, Blazers are the best 8 teams IMO. Memphis will be really scary if Jjj finds out his defense too

It's possible they're really poor, but lets not forget what Steph & Klay are capable of. When you have that constant lethal shooting threat, it opens the game up so much. They have the #2 pick to work with. They have some good pieces in Looney & Paschall. Obviously Wiggins is a giant gaping chasm away from being Durant, but I think he could still find a nice role on that team. I would be pretty surprised if they finish behind teams like Phoenix & Portland.

There is no point trading for Beal.

You have an incredible top 2. Fill out the roster with the best role players you can get.

No point hunting for another star and messing up the great team chemistry.

They won't' win 70, maybe not even 60. With it being clear the only injury to Lebron or AD can stop them from romping the playoffs, they'll load manage them...

I don't think trading for Beal would be a good idea. After Lebron and AD, the roster should be all role players who can contribute on both ends, don't bring in anyone that requires any sort of primacy...

I’ve taken time off to watch game 3 and 4 ( games 2 and 5 are in weekends) so hopefully it finishes in 5.


Probably getting way ahead of myself but I did the same in 2016 when we were down 3-1.

I mean you are clearly the harbinger of good things so don't you dare change one thing from how you did it then

[xb3at band1tx]

Still wrapping my head around Solomon Hill getting minutes in the finals lol

It's been so long since I've seen him (probably NOLA?) he looks unrecognizable with his new hairstyle and beard!

[The High Cyde]

Feels surreal Bron is about to win his fourth, things just seemed so bleak just a couple years ago with the Warriors looking like gatekeepers to everything, and then him coming to LA looked like he was ready to cruise until retirement or until Bronny got in the league.

The man was born to play in the NBA Finals, what a ride to see honestly, and he’s still not done!

[Arman_tanzarian]

AD is better than Giannis. Holy hell aside from maybe peak Durant I can't think of a player that would be better next to Bron.

Along that same note when lebron was in Miami I wanted Dallas to win first year, then Miami x2 and then I wanted the spurs to win. Clearly some sorcery going on there.

[Dupp]

Also Lakers don’t have enough for beal but eddy is right, you don’t need a big 3. When the top 2 are this good you’re much better off with a solid cast around you. Especially with Lebrons age and ADs injury issues. Depth is key.


If this team wins they’re gonna be even better next year. So much chemistry will come from this.
