    Lakers-Nets finals is a casual fan and NBA HQ wet dream…Lebron, AD, and Russ vs KD, Harden, and Kyrie…then u have a plethora of washed former stars or guys who at least made an All-Star game or 2 in Melo, Dwight, Blake, LMA, and Millsap

    a small contingent of fans will cry about super teams and lack of parity, but the numbers and facts don’t lie…PHX-Milwaukee final had very weak ratings comparable to Spurs-Nets in 2003 and Spurs-Cavs in 07…a Lakers-Nets finals would probably do double the viewership of that Suns-Bucks finals with ease

    My psychic said it's going to be Rockets vs. Magic.

    Yep. And, I know some of those other guys are washed but LMA looked super duper washed before retiring, looked like he was running in slow motion.

    he looked like he had cement feet…I don’t think he played a single game with Harden tho, so Harden will probably make him look better and less washed

    Since we're predicting so far out so early, why stop at Finals? Who wins Lakers vs Nets? What happens to value of our picks?

    Haha!!

    You didn't say the year (2022). Let 'em, play first. Both are favorites, but I have a couple doubts about both teams, even the Nets.

    I guess you didn't watch him when he played those 5 games with the Nets and played pretty well. And looked like a seamless fit. I believe it wasn't even with the big 3 all available either

    I think more generalist fans wanted Phoenix vs Brooklyn or Milwaukee vs LA. A new vs old matchup is more compelling than new vs new or old vs old.

    It won't go to game 7. The Nets will beat them in 5.

    You got a whole bunch of old injury prone players. Who knows if either team makes it.
