Thinking at this point LBJ and PG to LAL is basically a done deal.

If Randle somehow decides to forego this year's RFA money and re-signs then I like their chances for getting past GSW.

I still think GSW is better.

Lebron, PG, Ball, Randle, Kuzma, Ingram is still gotta be worse than Curry, Durant, Green, Iggy, Thompson and a few solid bench players like West, McGee, Livingston. Like if GSW has to blow things up cause they're at 400M in a few years, then the Lakers have a shot then but short term I think they're still a talent differential especially when it comes to starting lineup.

LBJ and KD are the obvious matchup problems, but I like LAL's athleticism with Randle inside to slow down the midrange stuff.

This team will be miles better than 2018's CLE roster, and at least on par with 2018's HOU roster. HOU had 35% equity in a best of 7 neutral court, so LAL definitely has a chance to upset, even better if they can get HCA.

Idc, I'm not trying to stan for the guy, but he fits in perfectly and hating on him for having a ****ty ESPN special is crazy. There are a lot of really great guys who have never been to the second round of the playoffs, or who don't play defense, or who say totally absurd **** about their own game, for us to hate on. Let us hate on them.

Pretty much this. George is such a good fit as your 2nd star. He’s the kind of star who can carry the load if your star has an off night and I don’t this his ego is that big to not read the tea leaves as to who the alpha might be.i think a George /LeBron/ball/Ingram/ Kuzma has the potential to give the warriors a run and also sets them up nicely for the post LeBron future .

LeBron has been yoloing with Kevin love , jr Smith , Kyle Korver and all those scrubs I think George and the young laker core will be enough in the West

"Can't shoot" is hyperbole. Hart and Kuzma were 40% and 37% from 3PT, respectively, and can easily improve, Randle was 56%, and LBJ can score from anywhere. PG has been trending 40% from 3PT the past 4 years.

The only guy who can truly not shoot is Ball. And they probably don't need him to with that roster.

Cavs you’re right since losing kyrie have been pretty bad other than bron. I’m not sure how good kuzma, Ingram, randle and ball will be. I know gsw is really, really good. And most guys are in their prime or earlier other than Iggy of the critical pieces.

seems like OKC is the favorite to keep PG, which is mind boggling to me. only thing i can think is that they have promised him the super max whenever they can do it.

Signing a long term deal would win him a lot of points in Ohio, but doesnt really seem smart.

However, I also thought there was no way that he'd make a big show out of the Decision and leave CLE

I think in similar situations in the past he's opted out and signed a new 2yr deal with 2nd a PO. Think KD did this one or two times as well. Insures against catastrophic injury and also after next season would allow him to pull a CP3 and opt in to be S&Ted to a team of his choice.

Not sure of the cap difference between opting in or signing a similar new deal, but i think even if he is staying he's almost always opting out.

Sounds fun for the Mavs if you're planning to follow them next season. Both Doncic & DSJ are on the Mavs summer league roster, hopefully they play them together atleast 1 game & we can see if it's any good.

If it's only 3 years I'm ok with it. I want to see how Luka plays with a legit rim runner. The problem is The Andre will be long past his prime by the time Luka is only 23. I'd much rather see them audition young bigs that align with Luka's timeline.

I'd rather keep the first's and get Mo when he demands out of that Orlando cess pool. Any heady player will see the benefit to their own stock by playing next to Luka. I guess having DJ showcase Luka's skills for three years could be beneficial to land Bamba.

He could literally be the best chess player in the NBA. Depends how good LeBron is probably.
