The west is still stacked with quality teams. I don’t think they are better than SA, Denver,Utah, Portland or Minnesota. LeBron is now playing on an up tempo team which goes against how he played last year. I don’t get what the lakers are trying to do really.

Yeah, that is not going to happen. Get ready for LeIso offense, all the time.

Possible. They will work on figuring out how to play with each other, rotations, each players rolls, etc.

Then the playoffs will start and LeGoat shall LeGoat until they meet the Warriors and GS will roll and win another championship.

They will be fine. 47 games gets you the 11th seed this year. All a part of the plan.

Grabbing a bunch of 1 year contracts for this season, dumping them next year, and then getting some big names to play with Lebron.

Well 47 wins got you in the playoffs in the west last year.

Their expected win/loss based on their statistics was 37-45, 2 wins better than they actually were. They'll presumably get a better Kuzma, Lonzo, Ingram, and Hart in 2018-19 simply from an age/experience standpoint.

Their win total is somewhere around 52.5 in Vegas. That seems pretty reasonable.

Yeah, it's pretty transparent. Give Ingram and Lonzo a development year, let Stephenson, Deng and Beasley minimize LeBron's workload, load up for FA and try to unload Deng's deal.

Given how loaded the Warriors are, it's the best strategy they have. The Lakers aren't winning this year if they swing a Kawhi trade.

If your argument is that a Lebron James team will miss the playoffs, I'm gonna go ahead and disagree.

Lebron James wont make the playoffs this year with the LA Lakers unless they make a major trade (kawhi) at some point during the season.

Then it should be EZ money for you to go against Vegas

LeBron on any team is probably better than most of these teams

0-2 vs SA

if my math is correct, that's a losing record
