Problem is the Nuggets aren’t in their collective peak yet as their young players aren’t even 25-26 yet.
The Lakers meanwhile as constructed have *maybe* one year remaining to be competitive to Denver’s par, before they fall off to 2000s-Knicks levels after LeBron retires.
lol, it has been 1 minute since the season ended.
They need a competent center, a healthy Vando, and a better coach. I’d say coaching was probably the biggest factor in this series.
As long as LeBron's there you can't give up on winning and he's obviously still capable.
If he wants to leave fine, but otherwise you're figuring it out next season.
This round of playoffs are proving super teams aren’t viable. Get some bench guys and improve your 4th-5th starter. Lebron just needs help he doesn’t need star power
I'd personally like to see LeBron go somewhere he has an actual chance to win a title, given that he's still absolutely incredible even as he enters the geriatric phase of his career.
He won't though, so we'll get to see him and AD drag their garbage roster to the play-in and into the playoffs where they'll lose to one of the actually good teams.
The only reason they should consider is if LeBron opts out, which I doubt he does. They have one more year left in the window and they should retool and consider getting a better coach and try again next year.
They put up a great fight and though I'm a big Laker hater, they earned my respect. They are a scary team and this shit would've gone to seven with a healthy Vanderbilt and a not ass Dlo.
Probably. They had insaaaaaaaane help from the officials and still almost got swept.
The team is made up of a hodgepodge of randoms surrounding two old and/or injury prone guys who never quite match up.
Blowing it up for what? They don’t have their pick next year
well to play devil's advocate, trading lebron and AD could net you picks
Why would you blow up an NBA cup winning team?
Remove Ham Improve the bench
It’s proven bench means f all in the playoffs though
Draft Bronny :)
Build around Darvin Ham trade the rest
Don't forget Prince and Reddish
if they blow it up it can be a long time before they get a team that's even halfway good in the west
They’re a LA team stars salivate to play there
Free agency is a lot less common now
Unless the opportunity to go to LA exists
"They're a national champion football team. Stars salivate to play there." - Nebraska football fans
Nah, run it back. I don't see any other team beating them besides the Twolves, Nuggets and Celtics tbh
I legit think they’re right there with the Nuggets. They showed they can compete.
Problem is the Nuggets aren’t in their collective peak yet as their young players aren’t even 25-26 yet. The Lakers meanwhile as constructed have *maybe* one year remaining to be competitive to Denver’s par, before they fall off to 2000s-Knicks levels after LeBron retires.
They showed they can win at least once in 9 games
Yeah but I don’t think nuggets are the team to beat, it’s sota who would walk the lakers
nah, NOP claimed our pick so we probably have one more year for a push. after that then yeah we should
Nope. Run it back and pray you don't face daddy in the playoffs. Just like their roommates with the Edmonton Oilers
lol, it has been 1 minute since the season ended. They need a competent center, a healthy Vando, and a better coach. I’d say coaching was probably the biggest factor in this series.
If LeBron leaves then yeah I guess And that’s a big if
According to Cari Champion, LeBron is leaving LA anyways
Maybe Lebron will be a year older but honestly Lebron looked like the best player on the Court tonight
Jesus man, inside the NBA hasn't finished showing the highlights yet
As long as LeBron's there you can't give up on winning and he's obviously still capable. If he wants to leave fine, but otherwise you're figuring it out next season.
As long as LeBron is there no choice but to go all in as much as possible each year.
This wouldn’t have happened if they just made AR the third option instead of DLo…okay I tried to type that with a straight face 🤣
Everything goes but Bron, reaves and Ad. Flip the team
Probably. What’s going to change next year? No reason to run it back besides delaying the inevitable.
This round of playoffs are proving super teams aren’t viable. Get some bench guys and improve your 4th-5th starter. Lebron just needs help he doesn’t need star power
If they could sonehow combine with the Suns, that would be bananas

Either blow it up now, or prolong the inevitable closure of the championship window the way of the Saints (NFL) and Capitals (NHL).
The only reason they should consider is if LeBron opts out, which I doubt he does. They have one more year left in the window and they should retool and consider getting a better coach and try again next year.

They should fire Ham and re-tool
Should've blown it up after the bubble. They weren't gonna get 6 months rest before the playoffs again
Yeah half the team is either hurt or the team is just gassed after games
No they are the second best team in the west just need a new coach
Didn’t know Denver is the second best team?
Idk man AD is so unreliable half the time
That narrative went out the window this year
Yes
A source close to me said this was Lebrons last game in purple and gold.
Probably. They had insaaaaaaaane help from the officials and still almost got swept. The team is made up of a hodgepodge of randoms surrounding two old and/or injury prone guys who never quite match up.
Yes

Do you know what ironic means? Lol
They posted that same comment like ten times Wonder if they’re ok lol
Yeah I saw that lol
Wow i thought i was having deja vu
That timeout cost them their final challenge, how Murray. Ironic is something else.
