But we also figured out that he's never going to win a ring there. They can't get the horses to do it. Even if they get DeMarcus Cousins and he's the exact same player he used to be and ditto for Kawhi, they still won't be as good as Golden State. He went to LA to make money and enjoy the lifestyle and make his family happy. I have to say, I'm a little disappointed because he's going to get passed by KD in rings and career accolades and he'll never, ever catch Jordan. GS isnt quite as much of a rubber stamp. It took quite a lot of luck for them to escape the Rockets. They might not need to be as good as GS if Hou can take them out first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Lakers need to pay what it takes to get Kawhi and then hope for the best. They need to get LeBron a proper sidekick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Lebron told Lakers he didn’t require a second superstar to go to LA. I think he can but I wonder if he will afford to wait a year and bring Kawhi then after he’s had a year of good health so they can keep their young assets. Golden state has probably one more year of being a lock favorite but even then, they almost went down last year and will probably be just as disinterested this season. I stopped betting against Lebron only doing things that I can believe a long time ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont need a complete team in the east to compete. Beal, Wall and Cousins is more than enough I think people are expecting way too much from Cousins under the circumstances. Hell, Gortat might wind up being the better player next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might not need to be as good as GS if Hou can take them out first. Houston was lucky to win three. Golden State's net per game margin was like +19 in that series. They dominated Houston and this was Houston's year where everything went right for them. They were so much hungrier than Golden State was. Set their franchise record for wins. And had all of their contracts line up perfectly to put the deepest and most talented team they could possibly field on the court. Now they've lost Ariza. They might lose Capela. No matter what, he's no longer going to be a dirt cheap contract. CP3 got quite a bit more expensive. Harden's big raise kicks in the year after. Houston's window has closed. Yes, we can rubber stamp Golden State to win this upcoming season's championship, unless Curry or Durant or both get seriously injured. We can probably rubber stamp them for a fourth ring in a row too. They have been and will remain the overwhelming team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 What Golden State has been able to achieve--putting stars and role players and great coaches together who perfectly complement each other and who are completely buying in and willing to sacrifice for the mission--is something that no other team has been able to replicate. They have a unique culture and pretty much every single transaction and team building decision they made since 2009 broke their way. They are one of the greatest dynasties in the history of the league and no one is even close to having what they've got. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta think even LeBron will start to slow down and it would be stupid to waste a year of his prime on a non contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Spurs should definitely make a deal asap for a few of the Lakers assets. Get what you can and aim toward competing for a championship 4 years from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berggy9598 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 As if true Lakers fans didn't have enough members of our fan base we have to apologize for. Now it's going to be like going to another country and seeing obnoxious tourists from your country you keep quiet so they don't realize where you're from and start talking to you. That's my life as an NBA fan now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 The Spurs won't get more than what the Lakers will offer. If y'all don't want Brandon Ingram, that's on you. You can't let Leonard walk without getting assets in return. Not sure what you guys think the Spurs will otherwise get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't because teams are shook of their players now, but I wouldn't let him go for pennies on a dollar in a trade. He can go there for free. In fact, I would offer Kawhi the supermax too. If I am the Spurs, and see if he willing to turn down all of that money for LA, even after his injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
