So you fill out the roster with

Beverly - probably the only true 3 and D PG in the league and doesn't need the ball. Certainly the best defensive PG in the league.

Bojan - One of the best shooters in the league and a good defender.

LeBron

Kuzma

AD - If you can convince him to consistently play center.


Then fill the bench with guys like JaVale, Marcus Morris, if he'll take the veteran minimum same goes for Jeff Green, Seth curry, your guy Alex Caruso, maybe George hill and maybe even Melo. I know bonga and Wagner are already signed.

What do you think?

Eruditor:
The people talking about injuries as no excuses are the same people who said it over and over again before this season.

Lakers will not win any ring. Rockets won 65 games in the regular season and folded when it mattered.

You people should not build castles in the sky. Lebron is 35 and AD is injury prone.

Eruditor:
Hahaha haha.

Warriors in 7.

If GSW don't win the title, I will delete my account.

My name is Eruditor. Watch this space.

This team cannot even beat the Rockets.

LMAO!!! I dey laugh as them dey brag. I cannot wait for this line when it starts happening "BRON HAS NO HELP"

LarcPickerin:
Awww! How sad, you guys are pathetic. Golden State falling into obscurity again and the bandwagons are starting to jump ship. Like I told you, if I see any of you bandwagoners jumping on the Lakers ship I will crane kick your teeth out through the internet. I can't wait until they start shouting how unfair LeBron has made the league. Just keep the same energy.

Yimu!! We are watching

@Birdman

WTF is wrong with your Rockets? With recent developments the title picture has been blown wide open. Your people should be thanking their Creator and galvanizing

ElDeeVee:
Rockets roster as is, is not capable of winning the championship and their owner knows this. I think they can find a suitable trade for a player like Capela or even CP3 and try to reconstruct the roster to challenge the Lakers for the NBA finals.

steady986:
That means we discarding KCP, Rondo, Reggie and Lance?

LarcPickerin:
Just because teams do it doesnt mean i want to see it. I want a competitive league with players talent in full display. Durant and Curry would've showed out a lot more if they were on different teams. As lebron fan i dont want to watch him go into a match up without intrigue, i'm down for him going into an evenly matched game for instance and seeing him making it easy like how the raptors were supposed to beat the cavs and he swept them. But i dont want to watch a game where a team is like a massive favorite in the playoffs and it plays out that way. There should always be some competition in the league. Not only for the fans but for the players as well. Obviously teams will continue to want to stack the deck and i dont blame them, i'm just speaking from my point of view as a fan of the game and as a fan of greatness.

stars fatigue

I feel you, it's tiring because Golden states over did theirs that's why it's not longer appealing, same thing happens in Football, irony is NBA tries so hard to make that league competitive, draft lottery, even that encourages weak teams to tank games so they can get favorable drafts, see knicks, they wanted Zion they kept losing matches intentionally so they could get him, in the end they got 3rd pick, competitive sport will never be 100 % competitive, unless all the players are equal and that will never happen, real Madrid buys the best players so they can make more money and keep teams below them below them, if any team can manipulate the rules and make a super team fine by me, great players shine well with great players around them, forget raptors they were lucky, KD for example wouldn't have won anything if he didn't move to the warriors, after all the plays and points, what did you accomplish is the final decider, it's better to be a coward and join a team with super stars and win titles than to waste your career with those small teams, especially if you are good

LarcPickerin:
It was never appealing to begin with. I think the NBA changed how the odds work in order to discourage tanking, now the worst teams wont necessarily have the lottery picks. The NBA isnt football and football is built to have enough talent to go around, football is also played by 11 players not 5, and madrids motivation is mostly keeping up or beating those around them or ahead of them cause they also have the luxury of trying the same but what golden state did is the equivalent of signing Neuer, marcelo, ramos, chiellini, carvajal, kante, modric, pogba, hazard, ronaldo and messi all in their primes. Football doesnt have a cap but that sort of complete haul is definitely harder to achieve in that sport hence why there'll always be competition. Imagine if there was no cap in the NBA? All the stars will end up in LA either with the clippers or lakers or in New york cause there are only about 500 players in the NBA in total.

People are attracted to different things, if you want to see a juggernaut crushing everyone thats absolutely fine. But i prefer uncertainty and competition.

iamJ:
you are right, well from 2020 college wouldn't be a most for you to be eligible for draft, maybe 2 years worth of talent will make the landscape competitive enough

DeeMain:
Most of the e-wars on this thread were fought based on that and you still ask me?

Eruditor:
This is circumlocutory.

SmooshCHN:
Eruditor!!! This is exactly what I was saying concerning KD's injury. One guy from his couch who has zero medical knowledge will tell us the Warriors knew KD had injured his achilles before, how warriors are a classless organization or how others just speculate Bob Myers was playing Hollywood.

They took a risk that they would with normal players returning from a calf injury. I personally would have preferred he sat.

Eruditor:
I will be here. Won't miss it for the world. LOL. Team with no spacing, an ageing superstar and another one who will get hurt come crunch time. Building castles in the sky per usual. Same way they celebrated the "we won the trade" against Celtics.

LarcPickerin:
..

Eruditor:
Did you not also say Warriors were going to win their last ring?

You are not trolling me at all. Just making me laugh. Lebron today is not better than Cousins was before he got hurt whilst playing with AD in Pels.

In fact, if Rockets keep their present roster, they will beat this Lakers team as assembled.

LarcPickerin:
But seriously, i keep telling you dont know basketball and i mean it. Cavs have Sexton, Larry Nance, Jordan Clarkson, one first round pick and two second round picks. The celtics have kyrie literally nothing from the trade. Ask a cavs fan and a celtics fan who won the trade.

This dweeb is saying a team with 5 players on the roster has no spacing LOL! Tell us again how you saw Golden state winning in 9.

LarcPickerin:
It seems the new angle the warriors bandwagon haters are pushing is that lebron is old. Has to be, or our precious wardell is going to receive an a-s whooping. A laker team with 5 players is assembled yes? LMAO! Its okay just keep that same energy. Mark me, when lebron and AD get a hold of him he will look like wesley snipes after they're done with him

Eruditor:
I was not the only one who saw GSW winning. Never forget. Even Vegas supported me. It is easy to be wrong when 2 of your 3 best players are injured but I digress.

We should ask Roland17 who won the trade considering he is a Boston fan, right?

Eruditor:
The narrative I am pushing. Is Lebron not 35-elect?

Is he not noticeably slower?

Does he defend half as good as he used to?

Did anything happen to his free throw shooting?

What about his health?

Huhuhu

LarcPickerin:
Of course we should. The cavs got a finals trip and a few pieces after the trade, boston got an ECF final loss at home, an embarrassing second round loss, and a star who's inevitably going to bolt. One would argue they were better off without him.


Roland knows better than to claim otherwise.

Eruditor:
They lost to the Bucks though. And they lost to Cavs without their "best player". You always make excuses for Lakers by saying their best player was hurt which is why they did not qualify for the playoffs. So how can you troll teams that had to play without theirs?

HamNotHunderstanding

LarcPickerin:
They went 7 games in the ECF without their best player but then lost to the bucks with their best player Did their best player not shoot, 8-22, 7-22 and 6-21 in three consecutive games against the bucks?


What are you even talking about?
