    If I were Murray, a few years from now I'd draft Bronny James, then keep him on the bench forever.

    Normally I would be upset, but we have Daryl Morey. I'm sure we'll be perfectly fine.

    This is probably true but who cares what Alex Kennedy says.

    Regardless, I have every expectation that the Lakers will end up with a very good team next year.

    Thats such bs. No one who can impact the roster besides probably 1 random nba player will do that. Golden state has attempted this . A vast majority of the time these signings turn out to be bad and not work. Who are these vets lining up to fill half a roster with minimum that could provide actual impact other than their over the hill name only

    Vets that don't matter. Any player that is still young enough and is skilled enough wouldn't do this.

    think of how many heads at ESPN would explode if LeBron goes the same route and gets traded to Houston,

    This.

    LeBron James is arguably the best basketball player ever. He is the best player in the NBA and has shown the ability to take on a load in the playoffs that no one else has. So the Lakers are advancing with just him, to at least the second round even if no one else comes.

    Having said that, of course someone else that is a star is joining him and I am not convinced that the Lakers will have to give up Kouzma in a trade for James.

    This. If the season starts playing out like that’s what the nba is going for, I’ll just cancel my cable and not support that ridiculous bs.

    Wasn't there a report CP3 opted out before he opted in?

    Long shot.

    Edit: Posted before I say @BigMaloe 's post.

    You losers. We clearly have the best team in basketball, and Dork Elvis hasn’t even begun. Shame on all of you.

    Disgusting.
