You know, if they had Lonzo, they’d be in a lock for the 8th seed at least.

I actually think the Lakers weren’t making it to the playoffs this year. There’s just way too many good teams in the Western Conference that it felt like it would be impossible for LeBron to even have a chance this season. But come next year, they should be in the playoffs for sure.

he’s not joining them.
plus didn’t they fine both LeBron and the Lakers management for tampering rules?
no way AD will go to the LA.

when you have headlines like this, you can’t be surprised at anything the NBA does anymore

how can you contemplate trading the best player in the league?

>chemistry

umm this is the 2019 NBA.

if they had him, they’d probably struggle against the Clippers or the Kings with him the lineup.
that’s just my guess.

because he went behind the front office and tried to push an early trade for AD. you can maybe pull that crap on the shitty cavs but not the fuckin lakers

I’d like to see him on the Rockets. Him and Harden would be unstoppable.

This is the reason why Lebron made it to the finals year after year.

The East had weaker competition. And I'm questioning the 50 win teams in teh East since they're just beating up the real bottom feeders 4 games each.

Pistons in 2000's Celtics in 2010, and Pacers were the only real teams Lebron had to face

he did the same thing when they were playing against the Knicks.

and he got blocked by Hezonja for attempting the game winner.
kek.

overrated

mostly everyone that’s on social media is saying that he should be in the playoffs and win the championship.

in the real world, we still think LeBron is just getting old and is on the verge of not feeling hungry anymore.

it’s just the way of life, man.

Only double digit IQ niggers on NBA Twitter think this way.

>Lakers
>playoffs
I don’t think they should have focused on the playoffs to begin with. They should have shown concern for the youth on the team, and try to get s couple 2nd round draft picks.

also LeBron and his management tried to fire the coach.
that might have something to do with it.

Don’t be too aghast.

LeBron was too busy being a Hollywood actor to care about going to the playoffs with this team. I never would think he should be entitled to get a playoff spot because he’s on the Lakers.

He’s no Kobe.

Kobe carried a worse Lakers to the playoffs

LeBum is a hack

thing is him and the Lakers had chemistry during the first half of the season, but injuries still hurt both him and them.
also, they didn’t strike when the trade deadline was ongoing and it didn’t seem to look like they were going to the playoffs this year.

LeBron thought this team was like the 2017 Cavs. He wanted to trade most of the bench away for star players. It’s not surprising to be honest.

even with him on the Lakers, they’d still be a long shot to win the championship.
after the Warriors crumble, then we can talk.

Kevin Durant is going to go through the same thing LBJ went through, only minus the bandwagon business move

Even with a team like this, LeBron probably would have been knocked out of the first round. Western Conference is built a bit differently this year.

>WE WANT KOBE

Nice find dude that's a crazy stat

if OKC keeps losing like they are and Lakers go on a tear to end the season we can still make the playoffs.

Lakers have a lot more to go if they want to be a playoff like team. I’m more surprised to see LeBron fans not be as confident as they used to be, even when he was on the Heat.

I’d give it to Harden.

I like how everyone went on about how they would be and then when they were fourth everyone was talking about WCF but after he got injured everyone flip flopped and is now pretending they knew all along
The obsession with LeBron is astonishing and you people are ESPN tier posters, KYS

I feel bad for those three empty chairs.

why does he act this way

Laker Nation hasn’t been the same since Shaq and Kobe retired.
LeBron knew what he was getting himself into when he inserted himself into that culture.

if LeBron was unhealthy, Lakers would have had a worse record than the Pelicans.

I he hadn't been injured then he would have made the playoffs no matter what team he went to.

he's going to keep passing milestones and no one in LA will give a shit. should have stayed in Cleveland or even stayed in Miami. Same thing will happen to Durant.

He misses both wade and this guy for sure.

Well he also folded against real teams in the east. Tom Thibideau's bulls and that brief moment where the Orlando magic were getting the best of dwight howard and a bunch of spare part shooters around him were actually decent teams that gave lebron enough trouble that he folded.

>I want to play off the ball this year

What was that about Lebron making everyone better?...

New Orleans isn't trading him to LA.
So even if he finally joins the Lakers, it will be another year from now. Lebron will be fucking 36 years old before Davis can join him.

No he is not, you fucking fag.

He faced those Bulls teams once at full strength. Rose blew out his knee only their second season together, and they were a 60 win team that year.

I’m a Lakers fan and I didn’t think he was going to the Playoffs this year. Maybe NBA Twitter thought so, but they only care about top 10 highlights and fantasy trades, so there’s that.

NBA Reddit is much worse. They still will yell out “LEBRON HAS NO HELP”, and when he gets help, they’ll still find something to complain.

AD is getting traded to the Celtics in July, it's a foregone conclusion.

Even if AD turns down an extension in Boston, do you really think he'll go to a non playoff team in LA to play with a 36 year old Lebron? The Lakers are fucked

I was thinking the Lakers were about to tank to get a top 10 draft pick. We need to focus on the young players on the squad first before worrying about LeBron’s legacy.

Those missing seats represent his lost chances to win 3 more rings

Attached: 05E2EF91-9FF2-449C-B983-F67F8498B773.jpg (1200x675, 107K)

so they wanted to trade LeBron last month because he messed with LA’s team chemistry?

I feel like Magic wants to keep him around just so he can end up being the GM over there in the future. That’s just my theory.

It was already proven that more people trust Jordan than LeBron as the greatest NBA player of all time.

By then, he's going to have the same amount of rings or even more.

KD will have a sweet time running through teams in the next few years. If he goes to the East, then the matchups will be more interesting than the West.

>space jam 2
First one wasn’t that good, so what’s to be worried about?

He should have been in “Uncle Drew” with Kyrie. I think he missed out on that.

this is the problem. it’s a common theme for most Laker fans. they think that getting enough big name superstars to come to the big cities will automatically qualify for a championship.

same thing can be said for NY and Chicago.

What bag? The douche bag?

you lost Jimmy Butler and he made KAT cry.
what did you expect?

Kobe also doesn’t own a barbershop where he invites multi-millionaire net-worth athletes to talk about their oppression.

No they thought he would because he is Lebron. Anyone who thought otherwise did so because he was a Laker, the only team competing with Cleveland and Phoenix for the title of most inept

the NBA would not lose sleep if there was going to be a Lakers-Warriors WCF matchup.
the overlords would give it to the DUBS every single time, and thinking LeBron would beat them again at his age is foolish.

This is what happen when the King abdicates. The dude is in semiretirement.

Why he didnt go somewhere to be a contender against the Warriors, who knows. If he had pulled that off it would have sealed his legacy. He couldve saved the league, or at least made this season interesting.

literally all he had to do was go to the sixers. not only would he have won at least a couple chips, he would have become a philly sports legend. all because it isn't sunny enough there and he needs to be with his film production companies.

Oh it could have gone down a lot of ways. Lebron could have gone the fucking Wizards and brought them to the finals.

Long live the King James II
