Melo to Miami
- Thread starter 10:31
- Start date
The Lakers didn't just roll over teams, we had legitimate battles with legit teams that could beat us, so my team not being a beneficiary is a moot point
Why would I think about it from a player's perspective when I'm a fan of the game. I want to see competition, the best against the best, not team USA beating up Tunisia for 82 games out of the season. Those rings won't mean much, as if it will happen either way
You dudes are ridiculous
Bullshyt, the lakers steamrolled teams and was CLEARLY the class of the west except in 00 when the refs robbed the blazers and 02 when the refs robbed the kings.
The lakers were favorites in every series with the exception of the 02 kings series maybe
Legit battles with the 7sixers and Nets
Don't get me started on those 80s teams
Getting through the Western conference was pretty much the finals back then simply because the is was trash, stop it
Talk about the 80's teams all you want, but they 1-2 superstars and the rest were legitmate role players.
You are talking about putting 4 superstars on one team in today's NBA. Those rings would be a joke. No matter how much people try to prop up OKC, Houston and the Clippers as threats (3 Western Conference teams
), they couldn't compete unless Durant went to the Clippers, which would be another anti-competition blow for the league.Getting through the Western conference was pretty much the finals back then simply because the is was trash, stop it

You can already smell the fear
You obviously don't remember the roster on those Lakers teams. Rick Fox and Derek Fisher were their 3rd and 4th best players in '01 and '02. You can't even compare the two squads.
stop it breh, cmon now
So the goal post moved from Miami doesn't play any good teams to now the Lakers overachievedYou obviously don't remember the roster on those Lakers teams. Rick Fox and Derek Fisher were their 3rd and 4th best players in '01 and '02. You can't even compare the two squads.
Compare having Rick Fox and Derek Fisher as the 3rd and 4th best player to Chris Bosh and Ray Allen, brehs.So the goal post moved from Miami doesn't play any good teams to now the Lakers overachieved
If the Lakers were as much as a threat as you make them out to be, why would they need the help of the refs
We were either too good to be stopped
We were so bad that we needed the refs;Pick one an argument and stick with it
Point is: Melo, Wade, Lebron with or without Bosh would be terrible for competition, diminish their "legacies" and you know that
Who's fault was it that Boston and Miami let Orlando get to the 'ship? Like I said in the above post, the weakness of the Eastern conference with the 2000's Lakers pretty much made the Western conference finals the actual finals
Look at the premise of the thread: Melo to the Heat
That would be a joke of signing and Melo it's not competitive at all. I'd hate to see y'all crumby ass, staked 2k rosters
Compare a 26 year old starting point guard to a 39 year old reserve brehsCompare having Rick Fox and Derek Fisher as the 3rd and 4th best player to Chris Bosh and Ray Allen, brehs.
