    Nobody is hating Lebron?

    Lebron is arguably the best or second best player of all-time. You can make an argument either way, so most here aren't hating. However, Lebron does turn 36 this year, and his ability to carry a roster is getting more and more limited. Lebron 10 years ago probably takes last year's Lakers to the 2nd round. You could make an argument that some of Lebron's early Cleveland teams had less talent around him. The Lakers now have Davis, but other than Kuzma, the rest of the team is a complete shit show. They could also add Kemba Walker, but that would also require them to further diminish the overall roster, possibly needing to get rid of Kuzma to get more cap friendly players. The Lakers aren't getting to The Finals with just James, Davis, Kuzma, and Walker. They could maybe get some championship chasing veterans to join them, but they have to be the right pieces, and be willing to play with Lebron. Let's be honest, Lebron is dealing with the same problem Kobe had. A lot of NBA players don't like him.

    I can't help to think how much of a nightmare this is going to be in L.A.

    They don't have a point guard
    They don't have a bench
    Lebron is going to be 36

    This is going to be about as successful as when they brought in Steve Nash and Dwight Howard to team with Kobe and Gasol.

    Don't forget Gary Payton and (hi @BennyBeaver ) Karl Malone.

    I’ve said LeBron is the best player of all time at his peak, but he needs someone to tell him to fuck off when needed. That’s not happening in LA.

    He didn’t in Cleveland, but he played in the East when it was shitty and he was in his peak years.

    Any chance the Lakers pull Cris Paul?

    I think some of you don’t realize how bad the west is. The Blazers made the conference finals for Christ’s sake.

    Utah just traded for Conley, I think they’re the only team with a prayer of beating the Lakers right now.

    Davis in Space Jam will get him to drop the 4 million needed to offer Kawhi the max

    Lebron and everything that comes with him

    They can get NO to wait or AD to give up a 4 million dollar trade payment

    Laker honks were saying that's why Space Jam 2

    Yep the Eastern Conference Finals will be for the ring next year, the west is bad.

    I think you're over estimating how much LeBron has left.

    Guess we'll have to LIFPO.

    That's been my argument for years

    It's the NBA. One or two teams can win it all. The rest are a mirage

    You can go back on this bored and I was Celtics skeptic from day 1. Lot of folks thought they would beat Lebron. Then win when he left.

    Nope. I rooted for the Sonics you know. I know what close but no cigar looks like

    The last time we saw Lebron in the playoffs he did this https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201805310GSW.html

    I don’t know what he has left but I’ll bet on that unknown, with AD, over everyone else. Assuming the front office doesn’t completely bungle the role players, which is a real possibility.

    Sixers took the Raptors to 7. A healthy Embiid is dangerous.
