    The Lakers get 1 more player (it is not Kyrie, Jimmeh, or K.Leonard) in the FA, they will be scary. Lebron decline is real, ask Kobe, or MJ. After 34 years, check what Kobe and MJ did after 34.

    Raptors have a center that shoots threes which opens up passing lanes (Marc Gasol).

    Same concepts to start each play.

    I don't know why so many of you are ready to hand them the trophy. Remember when a prime Lebron joined Miami? They got beat by Dallas that year in the Finals because it takes time for a super team to adapt to playing together. Continuity is important.

    IMO:

    26 year old Lebron > 35 year old Lebron
    Chris Bosh < Anthony Davis
    peak Dwyane Wade > Kyrie, Kemba or Jimmy.

    And their depth is going to be garbage most likely. I don't think this team will be as good as the 2010 Miami Heat. Especially considering both Lebron and AD are injury risks. We'll have to see what else they can accomplish though.

    That true but just shooters arent gonna cut it....like korvers or jj types...they need guys that can do more n not be liabilities like Danny green's of the world...n those 3 n d or 3 and penetrate/ball handler types arent cheap. That's the problem last year he got d guys with no 3...I bet this year they duck up n do 3 guys without d

    They’ll be trash two years from now when their roster is AD, a washed up Lebron and spare parts with no assets to trade.

    I’ve watched Kemba since he was at UConn. You’re using points per game...you think he’s going to average more than 22 a game on a a team with Lebron and AD? Not a chance.

    Which is how you sometimes make big moves, being at the right place at the right time.

    Lakers about to sign Kemba or Kyrie in the off-season. If they make it further than us in the playoffs next year then Morey should be fired.

    Lakers are going to roll out a lineup of Kyrie/Kemba, Kuzma, Lebron, AD, McGee. I'm sure they'll be able to get tons of vet mins to ring chasers since everyone knows that the Warriors are screwed next year with KD/Klay being out an entire season and the West being wide open.

    I honestly don't see DeAndre signing here for the vet min if he can just bandwagon onto the Lakers once they acquire Kemba or Kyrie.

    Let me tell you about this thing called the internet. You can find information there. Wade was 29 years old. Played 76 games and averaged 37 minutes per game. He finished the season at 25.6 ppg 6.4 rpg 4.6 apg and over a block and a a steal and a half a game. And he did all of that while taking a step back to play with Lebron and Bosh. What exactly are you talking about?

    Why ?

    The lakers had to suck for years to get "this good" on paper and haven't even signed a pg yet .

    Ingram #2 pick
    Ball #2 pick

    They had the 4th pick this year .

    it will be interesting to see what tilman does after harden is done . I hope he allows for the full rebuild .

    Wade is so far an away better defensively than Kylie and Kenba it's a joke . And wade is better than butler on offense .

    Shooting is way more important now bough and those guys are all pretty solid .

    Right but if you think you have good scouting and GM'ing then they should be able to do better with those high picks than the perennial losers , who are there partly because their management sucks.

    Tanking is definitely the easiest way

    I was talking about when they joined forces. I specifically mentioned that they lost to Dirk's Mavs that year. That was my entire point of my post. They didn't win the championship that year and yet they more talent than probably any team the Lakers could put together this year.

    p.s. Kemba and Butler are both older than Wade was that year.
