Kemba going to the Lakers will instantly be a bad move for his career.

You have certain NBA players like Giannis and Kyrie who want to lead their OWN franchise to the finals. That alone speaks volumes for how great a player is. That's one of the reason we put Lebron over KD. If you're considered a GOAT you can do it on your own without running around finding other super stars.

Players like Kawhi, LebronL, Kobe, and Jordan are the best examples of this. No matter where they go they'd make their teams finals contenders.

Kemba needs to stay away from LA and help the Hornets build around him.

Absolutely no chance Kemba going to LA will be bad for his career. The average American sports fan hasnt even heard of Kemba Walker. That will change literally the second his trade to the Lakers gets announced.

Woah that would absolutely scare the shit out of me

Based trips means there is still hope, plus the Lakers are Lebron's victory lap anyways. He's top 3 all time and I doubt he plays as hard as when he was gunning for rings on the Cavs and Heat. Adding AD and even Kawhi won't save the Lakers. The fucking Kings will be better than them next season.

>picks are irrelevant
i can't wait till february when lakersfags are posting 'just what the fuck happened to my shit team' again

Lakers lost the trade worse than the Nets Garnett deal

Wade won a title without Lebron. AD has won only 1 playoff series. AD isn't remotely close to Wade.

"The way I play my team wins"

in february we gonna be sitting at the top of the west and pelicans will be 12th or some shit competing with the likes of dallas and minnesota

My bulls will probably pair the 7th pick and a player to get him because they're retards who get off to the fans suffering.

pels gm should have asked for kuzma and all the 2nd round picks too

Kuzma sucks

kuzma is a top notch scorer, gtfo

still should have asked for him in the deal to flip later

Also you played against centers that were Jordan's height. Also, how many rings you got Wilt?...

Cope.
This is LA, we build through free agency because we can actually attract stars. This ain't no Memphis Grizzlies or Portland Utah whitebread hick town. This is LA, where everything happens. We don't give a fuck about the draft or pick #30. Fuck outta here. We swing for the fences, chip or bust. We will get 3 stars + a solid starter in Kuzma and role player vets on the mle and min. Haters gonna lie and say we got fleeced or compare us to the Nets, whatever helps you sleep at night.

Like when you signed Lebron.

Lebron and AD alone isn't a top 3 team in the west. Going to have to fill out that roster.

Wtf? The 60s was the best big man era. Did you know that barefoot wilt was 7 and 1/2. Meaning going by today's standards he would be listed as 7'3. It's crazy to think a "6'6" could be as dominate as a real 7 footer

whats the consensus of lakers fans, they can't be sucking on lebrons balls right

There is less than zero chance Kawhi joins the Lakers

If Kemba thinks he can be the #1 guy on a contender he is delusional. That being said, what the Lakers really need to be doing is going after D'Lo (assuming Kyrie/Kawhi tier players are off the table). He's good enough for them to win now but young enough to be a building block for the post LeBron era. Lakers could probably land him for like $100M/4yrs which would leave them with some wiggle room to add depth.

great trade, we got the superstar piece we need to get us to contender status and have cap space for a 3rd guy. we kept kuzma, the best scorer of the young core. we can round the team out with role players. we came out on top and won big.

>dumpster fire of an organization

They're making a run for 1-2 chips. If they win even one it'll be worth it

>I'm sorry, but did the lakers already lose? Oh that's right, offseason isn't even over yet

The retards here don't understand that the Lakers had to make a trade this year if they wanted a potential 3 max player team. They wouldn't have been able to do that if Davis came next year because his contract would have eaten up most of the cap.

But there's actual substance to the posts rather than just raw reactions to what we are seeing on our TVs. That's why I'm here, trying to soak up everyone's opinions and see what people think. Personally I feel like the Lakers went full retard but we will see.

Your 2027 NBA champion New Orleans Pelicans

You had your fun, you got 7 years of the Lakers being shit, but the jigs up and it's time for things to go back to normal.

Lebron isn't 27 years old now.
AD isn't as good as Wade.
The Buss family isn't as good as Pat Riley constructing a team.
The west is far stronger than the east was back then.

Any other free agent not named Kawhi isn't as good as Bosh was at that time.

They are the second worst team in terms of wins next to the Knicks. The fucking Sacramento kings have more wins than LA the past decade!

>If they win even one it'll be worth it
This is really the point that so many people fail to understand. Even one ring is hard to get. A randomly selected NBA team has a 1 in 30 chance of winning a title in any given season. A team which manages to win 4 rings over the next century is doing better than average. There are 11 teams that are still waiting on their first title and huge market teams like the Knicks that stay permacucked. If you've got a good shot to win one or two now, you just fucking take it. Planning around some distant future based on "young core" players that could bust at any moment and late first round picks is a meme. Win now and worry about 2025 when you get there.

Don’t care about AD stuff between Banjo and CTR, it’s been a good damn week.

old age/injuries

Lebron cannot carry a team by himself to a championship like Kawhi just did.

What if injury prone Davis gets gets injured? What if Lakers have no depth? What if lebron starts to age? What if the wolves when the title?

it was 3-1

Kawhi is the fifth best player on the team caztard

So the Lakers have a choice between Butler, Kyrie, Kemba and DLo.

only the lakers would do a deal this early after season ends. theatrical fucks. god i hope everyone on that team gets a life altering injury if not a death, and city gets nuked to oblivion

The Clippers are ironically a better organization than the Lakers as of the past 8 years or so. I trust Jerry West a hell of a lot more than whoever is really running the Lakers. Also Doc is a vastly superior coach to fucking Frank Vogel.

>i hope everyone on that team gets a life altering injury if not a death

OUR HEAD COACH IS FRANK FUCKING VOGEL?

Why do the lakeshits have to choose between Kemba and Butler? Don't they have enough cap to max 2 people? Not like they have a chance to get Kyrie or Kawhi.

This is John Wall's contract. Say something nice about it.

Who tf is Nurkic? He can't compete with AD lmao. And your forwards...nigga your 3 and 4 wouldn't start on the fucking Suns.

Because I watched them lose games in increasingly hilarious and inept ways with LeBron last season. They often chose their games to show on international TV because they assumed it would be a great and interesting team. Instead it was pathetic.

By midseason they will all be gone, and begging the Lakers to trade for another superstar. This happens literally every year.

Is that or that pic really true? Idk what to believe anymore.

nurkic gives the team 15/10, with him in the lineup that's a huge upgrade. blazers will be better than the lakers next year, mark my words-.

AD has made the playoffs twice in 7 years. He can't get his team into the damn playoffs. He is basically Kevin Love. A guy putting up great numbers for bad teams. But not good enough to actually carry a team to the playoffs.

They're not the good or bad guys. They're more like an actor in a slapstick comedy movie than a hero or villain.

who else l/a/kies here

trading role players for stars is what you have to do to win in this league

people said the kawhi trade and harden trade were overpays at the time, people said trading wiggins for kevin love was stupid, look at those now
you gotta make these big plays to win

my god... the most based post on Yea Forums right now.

Really fucking scared of the Pelicans guys. Like holy shit they are going to be so good and they are going to get better and better and better.

We just saw the next dynasty begin.

lmao

Have to spend big to win big baby, gotta spend big to win big.

If they can retain everyone and Ingram doesn't die they're a top 4 seed in like 4 years.

In 2 years the entire Pelicans roster will be lottery picks.

Lakers will collapse right alongside LeBron's health. Just watch. Promising start, a couple of losses that don't mean much and don't shake anyone's faith, then they will sink when he's out. When they lose him they're not just losing their best player, they're losing their coach.

would you smell Jennie Buss' farts?

Who are the Lakers 3rd, 4th, and 5th best players right now?

They need to play a run style all the time. They will be young enough to sustain that through the season. That will also keep Zion from getting fat

LeBron has at best 1 more good year left and the Lakers just sold their soul for the next 7 years LMAO

AD's injury problems is what will probably derail them. If LeBron gets injured again then they won't even make the playoffs.

the fit with lonzo and zion makes no sense

I don't even give him one full season. He's the glue that's holding the whole thing together no matter how good or bad they are. Without him whatever team they assemble will be like the players with their powers sucked out in Space Jam.

because even though lebron is old, he devleoped skills that didn't depend on athleticism. He has extremely high BBIQ, and has elite passing and vision. So lets say you're kawhii, you want easy buckets, or lets say you're a cheeky shooter, you want easy open shots from the perimeter. or lets say you're a meme dunker, you want to stack meme dunks. Lebron has many years left. Look at Vince carter and luol deng. Look at fucking Jared dudley.

no no no get the fuck away from him he already told us he'd take less than the max and stay happily.

Prediction: Lakers get the 9th seed

Yeah once he's done with his rookie contract and leaves for the Lakers.

Being perfectly honest. The only person Im sad seeing go is Ingram, but he has blood clots, it will always be team first. I mean I was on the lonzo bandwagon for awhile but he just never seemed serious to me, like there was no sense of urgency and the media circus, it was and would eventually become a worse problem.

nvm stupid photoshops on youtube, fucking hate retarded ass youtubers making clickbait.

pelicans won the deal because AD was going to end up in LA in a year anyways so they got something for nothing, even if nothing is garbage (ball and ingram) or their draft picks don't pan out

It would've been reasonable to evaluate Ingram at this point since he's been in the league for 3 years and is easily the best player on the Pels' side of the deal as an 18ppg scorer on 49% shooting, but then blood clots happened. As for the other 2 they still suck but it's too early in their careers to make a judgment

Now look at Lonzo's injuries. Ingram also had several injuries and his current one is important

LMAO

I think he's a much, much better defender than Blake. And Blake is a really good player when he's healthy. I don't know exactly what Zion looks like in the NBA but he's a fucking freak with incredible BBIQ.

The question is how much longer Lebron goes. He's starting to decline.

Lonzo and Ingram are good role players even though they're not stars, and also the picks are the bigger deal imo

lebron went to los angeles to retire with good weather, not to play basketball. you will see lackluster effort out of him again this coming season. AD will get injured before the 30 game mark. Cap this.

I am not sure about BBIQ, he has been playing against kids so his decisions were always pretty straightforward.

>Blake is a really good player when he's healthy
I agree it is hard to say if zion will stay healthy.

Ingram is actually ridiculous. He put up monster numbers during the AD fiasco when all other young core were down. The blood clouts is a bad sign but I can see BI become an all-star soon.

He won't try now until it is the playoffs, and you can't blame him for that.

i don't think the pistons have cap room

Because Davis would have definitely left. He’s not sticking around for shit bags like Marcus smart and Kyrie wasn’t coming back. They would have traded everything for a guaranteed rental

Why didn't Trunks go further back in time though?

Tatum is the best offensive player on their roster and will probably be the centerpiece of the team for the near future (unless Boston signs someone big in FA). And Rich Paul made it pretty clear that he hates Boston.

he went to the right time, everybody was just being retarded and didn't want to stop the problem from happening

Cause everyone would've been on Namek and he really wanted to meet Goku

I could be totally wrong but I think he and bulma came to the conclusion if he went back any further he would possibly never be born or yamcha would be his dad

Wow, what a great use of that war chest, Danny!

The reason why nobody wants to go to boston is because of Danny fucking retarded loser Ainge.

When he traded Isaiah Thomas, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett it gave the Celtics a massive red flag, that even if you're beloved fan favorite, you could and probably will get traded.

Stick man and fat man? Don't think so.

How are the Cavs capped?

it's not about the cap you dumb idiot or muh stars and free agency attraction. everybody knows that

it IS about the bench. because if lelbron or AD gets hurt you will be assfucked in the playoffs

Most points by a rookie in the playoffs behind Kareem

For me, it's Bulter

Any team in the NBA would be fucked losing a star in the playoffs.

Lowry should retire and the Raps should replace him with Kyrie

worst timeline ever

Literally every single team in the NBA would be unable to contend in the playoffs they lost one of their top two players. Only peak Golden State could compete without one of their main stars and those days are over now.

of course but lebron is on the wrong side of 30 and had his first significant injury and has the most miles of anybody in the nba. the lakers are paying with fire if they blow their entire cap on big names and don't get role players/B-level guys instead

warriors almost beat toronto in g6 despite losing klay, that's because of their depth and coaching. LA does not have the later, if they sacrifice the former, they'll never make it to the conference finals and will be bounced by houston, portland or even gsw

By swishing buckets.

Kyrie can't be the emotional leader Lowry is. There's a reason the Celts didn't make it pass the Bucks, but Raptors did.

so how soon do you guys see Lonzo Ball being out of the league?

where was he this playoff? got exposed like all other rookies, averaged a single triple

The second and final big name FA for the lelkers will be a pg; one of D'Angelo Barksdale or Bemba Walker, right? Irving is locked for Brooklyn and so is Butler.

Raps should pursue Beal to replace Danny Green in the starting lineup. Guaranteed rings for the next 2-3 years.

>Golden State
>Team that was so retardedly stacked at its peak that it isn't even worth bringing up because of course any team would want to have a roster that deep if they possibly could
>houston, portland
>Two teams that would burst into flames if their star player had to sit out

washington doesnt want to trade him for some reason. probably fucked the owners wife

I wish Kyrie would stop being such a cunt and come to L.A., then MAYBE i'd like him and then together we can BOOTY BLAST THE FUCK OUT OF BOSTON for the next 3-4 years.

LeBron has never had this long of a break from basketball.

Who do the Raptors trade to get Beal?

Shit defense tho. The death of wing stop. A team's d is only as good as it's weakest link.

He is the most overhyped trash player in the league right now.
>no shooting form
>40% free throws
>can't finish at the rim
>single triple
>takes half of the reg session off every session on a sprained ankle
>"he has high BBIQ!!" like all point guards should
>"he has good court vision!!" like all point guards should
>"he is a true point guard!!" because he can't be a two guard
>"he is good in defense!!" like all trash shooters must be, hussle extra hard in defense to stay relevant
The only person keeping him relevant is unironically lavar hyping him up.


no kawhi = no ring

That's true. I guess that should be a good rest for his body and joints I'd assume.

if kawhi had gotten hurt the craptors would have been doomed too

it's almost like luck is a thing you need, and a high enough ceiling for that luck to matter

story?

>say it again chuck, triple single

if OG wasnt out all season then Kawhi wouldnt have needed to be there.

Remember LMA not giving us a meeting?
Remember Derozan saying "hell nah" when asked if he was coming to L.A. when he was at some amusement park?
Remember PG13 playing us, then going to OKC?


WHERE ARE THEY NOW? HUH.

are you retarded or from Cleveland? or both?

Is bojack horseman the greatest show ever created?

No but it was good for a few seasons

i take back the LMA statement, he did and we "fucked it up" twice BUT, he should have still signed. fuck you LMA

The shoop wizards better be prepping the

SI edit with Dlo's and Davis' faces on it

It will be so satisfyingly hilarious posting that during their wcf exit

Thank God we got him off of the Lakers. Now he's the pelicans problem

Will Ingram ever play again though? Blood clots killed Bosh's career.

>Wanting a no-defense chucker as your PG

Can't forget "he is so good with transition offence!" because his half-court offence is mediocre at best

Didn't LMA give the Lakers a meeting and the team was stupid enough to try to sell him Hollywood instead of basketball reasons? That's on the team

The G-league

>>AD demands trade

He doesn't even need to demand a trade, since he'll be a free agent within a year anyway.

>so why does lebron get a free pass when it comes to building super teams?

Only Bronsexuals give him a pass, which is what you'll only find infecting these threads, since they moved with the 3-6 Mafia to LA with L3-6ron.

LeNoHelp man is cancer and KD was absolutely correct that it's toxic being around him, as AD will find out this season, when his made-of-glass ass find out the hard way.

You're so delusional it's like you have your eye wide shut

Kyrie is goin goin back back to cali cali
