Don’ be a Sabo while chasin’ 4 rings in LA: 2021-22 GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers season thread

[Dr. Narcisse]

I wanted Bron at Center when we played the Suns in the offs

I think it could work against most teams

Small sample size, but

I can't neg that bozo again. Lakers steamrolled in 2019-20 before the season got suspended.

They were cruising last season too until LeBron and AD both got injured. First or second place in the west until they went down.

I really think we'd be at least Suns like to start the season if we brought everyone back

Yea some of the guys could be trash at times but at least they knew their roles

Lets hope they find some consistency

 

[R.U.L.E.]

Maybe I’m too optimistic but I think they figure this shyt out and end up as the 3rd seed

If the Lakers are healthy going into the playoffs, I think they'll win the chip....There's really no dominant team in the league.

I know it's still early...but Lebron shooting 79% at the FT line is a huge positive.....He was 8 for 9 vs Indy and hit 4 for 4 in the 4th qt.

Ima miss bron when he retires when he’s on in the clutch just stomping the heart out of fans is beautiful

Small sample size, but

LeDraymond James is the next evolution

 

[ISO]

LeHenny was active last night

 

[IGSaint12]

Small sample size, but

What's our numbers with AD at the 5?

 

[The God Poster]

Small sample size, but

He won’t have anything left running that line up consistently.

I’m not sure what you’ve seen to make this statement

Bron stans, y'all.

That won't happen as long as the Warriors, Suns and Jazz don't suffer a significant injury; Mavs will probably finish ahead of the Lakers too. 5th seed is probably the best they can do. I don't think winning regular season games will be a priority for them anyway. Well, it shouldn't be.

 

[Guile]

Trade AD before Bron retires.

When LA gets healthy (hopefully) and gets some games under their belt I think players 4 thru 9, specifically Monk, Ellington, THT, Reaves will settle into their roles and gain more confidence. Monk/Ellington putting up 31 pts (11-18 fg, 7-12 from 3) in a hostile environment was very encouraging. Most people expected the Lakers to lose this game. No AD, Back to Back, Indy with 1 day of rest,...Yet, LA won the game despite Melo/Russ shooting 9 for 28 fg......And let's not forget about Nunn. He's a legit 15 ppg scorer who shoots a good percentage across the board (46/36/88 for his career and 48/38/93 last season)

Of course, the Lakers are not a finished product. They still need to make a couple of acquisitions to improve the defense, shooting, and team balance.....The great thing about the Lakers is that they don't need another star, just 1 or 2 quality role players...but more importantly, they need Bron/AD/Russ to stay healthy.

I would not be shocked if at some point LA cuts DJ and re-signs Mark Gasol.
