    48 wins and the 6th seed. I think we get to at least the second round of the playoffs.

    50-51? Sounds good to me. Don’t know which bracket to choose right now. Maybe after the season starts...

    If all goes our way with health, young guys adapt to Lebron's game, and to Luke's strats, I could see a 51-55 win season.

    But that's a lot to ask, aging superstar young guns and a major roster change.. young coach. I can see 5+ early season winnable games being lost just from the learning curve and another 3-5 winnable late season games lost to injury etc.

    My positivity and fan side voted 51-55 but the reality side tells me 46-50.

    My guess is about 49-50+

    We would be on track for 40-45 with just the development of our young core IMO, and the addition of LeBron is good for at least another 10 games won.

    I have to see the schedule first before I get closer to making a prediction but right now I'm in the 46-50 win club for realistic expectations. However, I voted for 51-55 wins because that's my goal.

    62-20.

    - LeBron will average 28/8/8 while lowering his minutes played per game to 34 mpg.
    - Ingram will average 25/6/3.5 while being all-defense caliber
    - Lonzo will average 16/7/9
    -Kuzma will average 20/8 while shoot 37% from 3.

    Lakers will be top 3 in pace and offense efficiency but will also be pretty mediocre defensively (rank 15-20), mainly because our only rim protector is Javale McGee.

    57 wins. Beat GS 4-2 in conference finals and c bags 4-1 in championship. We have the most talented team, be very surprised if we do not win it all.

    50 sounds about right. We're not going to be a great regular season team. Prepare yourselves for that. It's gonna get frustrating at times. Rotations and players role will take some time to iron out. Also, the vets will pace themselves during the regular season.

    We're gonna smash some fools come playoffs though!

    If the Lakers do not do well in the regular season, that will have likely meant Ball and BI sucked. I am having a hard time not thinking this team will actually be very good IF Ball and BI aren't 2018 Ball and Bi where they missed games because they were on their cycle during the month. The talent isn't the problem with those two. It's are they gonna play through pain or not? That's what I am waiting for.

    It’s not just about them making progress (I do believe they will play better, of course). But the team will need some time to gel. We should not make hasty judgment before ASG. they should be good In time for the playoffs.
