Lakers killed it. They have 2 top 10 guys, an all-star level PG, and added like 4 decent rotational pieces.

Will Lakers be above 200m after all of this?

Still don't think the lakers are much better at this point. The nets on the other hand...

He's deserving of it considering how he played last year.

Yeah, there’s no comparison. They’ve upgraded a TON of key rotation pieces while getting rid of malcontents and redundancies. They’re going to be scary.

they'll be better in the reg season b/c russ can do stuff by himself allowing lebron and ad to rest, but outside of monk and nunn they just signed old players, who wont do much come the playoffs. I'd rather have caruso and kcp over anyone they actually signed.

When the majority of the team is eying up that night's "Murder She Wrote" re-runs instead of concentrating on the task at hand (winning basketball games), please exercise the requisite humility and admit your opinion was misguided.

I'll easily take Monk and Nunn over Caruso and KCP. I probably would have not done the Harrell/Kuzma deal for WB and sent them somewhere else for a better fit, but still, they will be a better team than last year.

Imagine not winning the title last season. We would have been desparate right now. The Sixers and the Celtics already gave up on the season.

Half the players arent even that old and 90% of this board was crying we didnt resign 37 year old Tucker. Tell me how this team is worse than last year. Enlighten me

Depends on what they do with Schroder. But as of now, they still have a much cheaper roster than the Warriors and Nets

Looking at the Lakers roster on paper and it’s fine, nothing to really cry about.
