AD was the better fit for LeBron and winning in playoffs but Luka trade was no brainer due to health age etc overall I think people overrate the Lakers they get spanked by every contender even when healthy

Storybook ending LeBron goes back to Cleveland .::itās his best option. He isnāt winning a ring in the west unless he is on okc or spurs.

As lakers fan, if lukaās contact is tradeable i would trade him for giannis. Donāt get ne wrong i like luka but i love like lakera more than luca. His attitude toward complaining and i jury prone can not be trusted.

Old LeBron and old Steph Curry on the same team doesnāt enthrall me. Itās not the sentimental slam dunk SAS thinks it will be. Itās time to retire LeBron. Your legacy is lessened every year,

You can tell LeBron hasnāt been the first option bro was acting like he was the 3rd option in the first 2 quarters

Lebron has never carried a team fully on his own and actually won something. He needs 2 other stars to carry the load. They are fixing to bomb the reason of the season. Its over. Lebron is gonna stat pad. And load managing. Not play defense. Dont expect anything different.

SA you might be on to something! Bron loves to be the narrative. What better way to ride into the sunset the grumpy old men trying to put the young league over their knee one more time.

Bro letās go big , jj when smart comes let him be the PG and and insert vando instead of laravia and the rest as same ( LeBron , smart , ayton , vando and rui ) and just let wreak chaos and havoc on the defensive side and run in transition and see what happensā¦!?

Put in Marcus Smart and Dalton Knecht to start and unleash Luke Kennard, all of them have been on limited minutes. They still have a chance to hold it down for the rest of the regular season games. The problem comes in when the playoff starts, hopefully they can have AR and LD back by then. What is going on with DeAndre Ayton?!
I have no idea how long does hamstring and oblique related injuries go, hopefully, their youth and ability to respond better to advanced medical treatment comes into play. Denver Nuggets, Houston Rockets, and Minnesota Timberwolves will eat them up if they donāt have those two guys back in the playoffs
