Came off the buss with billions, now we back in the building: Your GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers 2025 offseason Thread

[Trojan 24]

Memphis and Houston are the only two “easy” out. Houston might be stuck at 2. Memphis will probably end up at 8.

Outside of them….
Clips are tough, Wolves are tough, Nuggets are… Warriors are tough.

Honestly, the Nuggets might be the Lakers best matchup. Shut down Murray and they should be good. Jokic will eat regardless. The kids will wilt. Biggest issue will probably be Gordon. He is killling it at the three this year.

As long as AD don't get hurt he's gonna pack up the Grizz and send them home in the play-in. Warriors are really the only team that I think pose real matchup and style issues tbh

Stop hiding out in The Booth talking about how you identify more with Seinfield than any Black sitcom.

The Clippers look tough too. Kawhi looked like MVP Kawhi last game he's moving well. And the Lakers have no one for Zubac.

I hate to say it but if Jokic made this pass they'd be sucking his dikk for the rest of the afternoon.

And for Harden to show up. They got a lot of playoff new comers too on that bench. I'm still team never trust Harden in the playoffs but, who knows.

It's one thing not being worried about any team, in isolation, but it's a whole different thing having to play those teams in B2B2B series', where the Lakers will have a notable age/health, shooting and/or size disadvantage (depending on who they play). What might not be much of a disadvantage in the 1st round, could be an insurmountable one in the WCF.

Y'all reconfigured the top end of your squad midway through the season, with a first year coach, to go along with a pretty much non-existent frontcourt. And this is all before we take into account Bron is 40 and Luka's health ain't what it was last season (when he made his Finals run).

The likelihood y'all overcome all that to where y'all make it out the West, well, it's going to take an infinite amount of luck.
