25-31 isn't really hovering around .500, but I digress.

Their deadline additions are not worth 24+ wins, let's calm down just a tad here.

Phoenix is +500 to win a championship

Lakers are +5500.

This discussion, unless I missed a post, has always been about how good this trade made the Lakers, so I'm not seeing how anything related to Phoenix is relevant.

You don’t think there is a difference in playing with Lebron instead of monte morris, Mike Conley or Jordan Clarkson

Yes. Again, most people have agreed the Lakers have gotten better.

You think Vanderbilt/DLo/Bamba/Beasley are worth 24+ wins in a single season?

Re-read the thread & the posts specifically regarding the lakers in the playoffs. the health of Kevin Durant is relevant to the WC playoffs & many topics in this thread.

Shel settle down with this dopey act brether. Not everything posted is about things you say

There’s one guy talking about how they can’t win a series and you’re talking about this +24 win shite.

So I don’t know if they are worth 24 games. Sorry I haven’t done the math yet. Is that ok?

It's so dopey to think the guys the Lakers added can turn a 36 win team into better than 60 win. Silly, dopey me.

Actually you were, but go off.

Do what you want, if you make bad takes, just expect to have them called out. And that was a really bad take. It is what it is.

The Mo Bamba excitement confuses me. This is a guy who was getting like 10 minutes a game over the last month in Orlando, playing behind Mo Wagner. I'm not sure he plays much of a role for this Lakers team.

Lester vs Shel?

I’d bet the board is an even split on who they are rooting for lol. Maybe a slight edge to shel.

Yeah the Lakers are seen to be pretty deep at the 4/5 positions. That’s why Thomas Bryant asked out lol

Well, I'm sure as shite not wrong here, so it would be weird to not agree with me on this one.

I guess he helps raise the floor if AD misses more time?

As big a lock as there will be this post-season. It's absolutely a huge concern for anyone who plays them.

They are running out of time, for sure. 25-31…that’s a lot of ground to make up.

Yea they won't have the time to gel in the limited time they have left. They're basically playing a specific role for James and AD to try to make that push.

Their path to the playoffs will pretty much rely on someone to take a nose dive. One of Portland, Minnesota, and Golden State will have to really falter.
