With Lebron on the floor, Lonzo being off the ball hurts the floor spacing on offense. There aren't many people you could replace him with that would make it worse. Rondo is one. 

Am I forgetting somebody,  or would ball and rondo be the best point guards Lebron has played with?  Wade i guess counts.

I'm firmly in the Jordan GOAT camp, buuuut, if they don't land another superstar, or that superstar is lane clogger Boogie, and Lebron can drag this dumpster fire to the Finals, I'm ready to eat crow like a mofo.

 

There is absolutely no chance this Lakers roster is getting to the finals over the Warriors.

I do find it fascinating how many low IQ guys--or guys with high IQ that are just nut cases--find their way to LeBron's teams. I'm thinking that he really, really likes the "carrying his team on his own" narrative.....and just maybe he likes the built in "well, of course he lost, look at his teammates" excuse as well.

I think the Lakers f/o is lining up to do at least one major trade this summer. Deng/Lonzo package for cap room, maybe sign Cousins and still make a play for Kawhi with Ingram and Kuzma and if it falls through they will still have cap room for Kawhi next summer.

I think same thing.. They are gonna package all the expiring contracts with a young stud for a guy with 2/3 years left on contract so a team can free up the books and get a young talent at same time. 

 

Either that or they are a dumpster fire in the making.

if GS is like half a billion $$ over the cap, i'm sure the Lakers can afford all the luxury tax. 

That's not how it works. You can't just decide to go over and sign whomever. You can go over to sign your own guys.
