    Denver bet looks good. Young team on the rise that almost made the WCF.

    If all of these rumors about the Lakers getting AD and Butler are true, then they probably should be the early favorites. If the Lakers don’t have to give up Kuzma, they can put together a potential juggernaut.

    Don’t over think it. The Lakers will be awesome next year. It’s like when the Celtics got KG, and Ray to go along with Paul Pierce, my dad was trying to tell me they would not be that good because their point guard at the time was unproven and their center sucked.

    Old LeBron is still awesome. AD is awesome. They can figure out the rest later. When top talents want to play together, it works out real well.

    I think they only need another star...... it might be easy, or might be hard, depends.

    In any case, the GS stranglehold on the NBA appears over. No way they are going to dominate the league like they have the last few years.

    Warriors go down for a season. Lakers will step right in as the refs favorite team.

    Highly doubtful they can get Kyrie they only have 28M left that's not enough for a max unless Kyrie becomes Cupcak Snake 2.0.

    Regardless Lebron+Kuzma+AD Lakers are def gonna be Rocket's greatest rivals this season.

    Here we go again with the ref excuse. You telling me refs favored Toronto Raptors over the Warriors?
    Quit talking about the refs man, it's just convenient excuses to use when the Rockets lose.

    So we could have a Lakers stranglehold. Would people somehow be less annoyed by Laker dominance? I honestly can’t remember what this board was like when the Lakers won back to back in 09 and 10.

    Apparently the Refs also favored low ratings boring Spurs for a long ass time.
