Woj bomb... AD to Lakers

[Getting Traded]

Giannis is getting close but not there yet. LeBron coasting when the season doesn't matter isn't the same as playoffs LeBron either.

Durant is definitely not ahead of him with his injury. He won't even play next year.

You don't think Kawhi is best of all?

A 50 win team with AD and LBJ missing 15-20 games and winning 50 games? Okay...

After Lebron and AD each miss 15-20 games, the Lakers are likely a 50-win team.

I take LeBron over Lillard, Harden or anybody Denver has.
I take AD over McCollum, Paul, or anybody Denver has.
Kuzma is as valuable as any 3rd option on any of those teams.

If the Lakers can be very smart with their use of $27 million, they should be stacked. Like if they got Redick, Danny Green, and a couple solid PG options, they are gonna be tough. If they add a bunch of Lance, Rondo and McGee type players, they will make their life that much more difficult.

Your arguement is, "put lebron and AD against the best players on the opposing team and the lakers win". No sock, really??

The problem is depth, the lakers wont have any. EVEN if they get a couple of rodney hood types, they still dont compete with depth. You cant play AD and an aging LBJ 48 minutes.

LeBron is still the best player in the NBA. AD is top 5 and the best big in the NBA. If you put solid role players and around them they can beat anyone next year. They will also get good value in players since vets will play for less if they think they can get a championship.

Did Kawaii Leonard die yesterday? Why didn't I hear about this? Freaking Tragic!

They still have $23M to play with. They'll get guys like Rodney Hood, Max Kleber, maybe Jeremy Lamb. They could win 50 and get the 4 seed.

Are you expecting them not to get anybody with $27 million in cap room PLUS exceptions PLUS older players who just want to try to win a title? They are gonna have a ton of Thabo type guys wanting to fill out their bench after they spend their $27 million. While not a stud, experienced super cheap guys like that help the cause.

So your 50 win team is:
Lebron
AD
Kuzma
Rodney Hood
Max Kleber
Jeremy Lamb...

Uh huh

Thibs laughs at you. Give him the Laker job, he'll show you.

No, I think he is 2nd or 3rd.

What exceptions do they have?

For my money, there is no best player in the NBA right now. However, I would say that the rankings go like...

1. LeBron
1. Durant (pre-injury)
1. Kawhi
1. Giannis

Everybody else... You have to remember, the Raptors went 17-5 when Kawhi rested last year. In other words, they were awesome without him. The Lakers were a home court western conference playoff team until LeBron missed 17 games due to injury. LeBron is that good and important.
