With healthy AD and LBJ, they are an solid 7 or 8th seed and possible 6 seed. That’s it. They were a .500 team with them.

A healthy LeBron and AD will definitely go to Finals, the biggest question there is IF THEY BOTH STAY HEALTHY

I know everyone that read’s the comments on this video will ignore this comment but if you want the Lakers to win you should be helping me get paid the Lakers have lost since the bubble and unless they pay me the Lakers will continue to lose

Honestly for this team to have some success, Russ is going to have to accept a Jamal Crawford 6th man type role. Both him and Lebron are ball-dominant people who need the rock. On a second unit with some decent spacing around Russ, he could average you 25-30 minutes a game and give Lebron more time to rest. But no one has seemed to discuss that thought………………..

Lakers are irrelevant. We ain’t winning jack and this team is poorly constructed. Might as well put the time you watch them and do something productive instead because the Lakers will suck what’s the point guys. Championship or bust we ain’t even close to being a championship team and won’t be even if we make trades.

They had a coach. They trashed his team and fired him for the result.

The Lakers have many of their first round draft picks going forward. Those picks just are not *tradeable*

You can’t win with Russ being the worst shooter in the nba, and the averaging the most turnovers in the nba, and being your highest paid player taking up so much of the salary cap that you can’t build a team to help.
