If everyone except AD (because he’s already in his prime) [and obviously kuz] was in their prime this would arguably be one of the best defensive teams in nba history

If this was 2012 – 2014 lebron and Orlando Dwight the lakers would likely be undefeated or like 21-1

Brandon Ingram they’d be 22-0 if they utilized him properly. So many times he creates post miss matches and no one finds him

The best version of Dwight (09) together with AD would’ve held teams to 80 points a game

It’s easier for Bron to exert more energy on the defensive side when he doesn’t have to carry all/most of the offensive load and play most of the minutes every night. I like to consider the context of a story, not just the peripheral issues.

True Laker Fan , not a lbj groupie, how they go from cavs, heat, cavs, Lakers , Been Down with Lakers since 1980 , It’s going to be Raptors and Lakers in the NBA Finals, not 76ers or Bucks , Maybe down the Road , Lakers beat 76ers and then the Bucks , then the Celtics Just to Finish it off with lbj retiring, After That A.D. and company win 5 more , A.D retires with 8 chips , 3 with lbj, 5 with out lbj, Hopfully somewhere in that time frame Carmelo Anthony wins a Chip before retiring with Portland, It would be great to see that happen just like when Dirk got his chip with Mavs, Both Great Players, Dirk is the most underrated player of all time , better teamates around Him He would have 5 chips . and 40,000 points if Nash would Have stayed with him is Whole career, Dirk is the man, who beat lbj, D Wade, Bosh, Dirk and Larry Bird would have been great to see them play together also with Hakeem Olajuwon,
