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.



championship feels :P

14 posters actually and 1 the op....


Anyways, it was an illogical take. I'm happy we got to see the end of the season. Good job on everyone's part.

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.

there should be a way to ban OPs who make dumb threads like this. Like there should be a vote to ban them for dumb takes like this, put an asterisk on their name or something like that so people know who they are

Come on, man!
Something interesting about these kinds of posts is how little people expected from some of the Lakers' role players. No mention of KCP, Caruso, Rondo, Dwight, or Bradley. Vogel did fantastic in terms of really exploring his whole roster, giving guys a shot, giving guys a role, making the right substitutions in the playoffs, and sticking by guys like Rondo when they had a bad game.
