    I’m flying in to watch the March 30th game and I’ve already resigned myself that the big guns won’t play because they have Cleveland the very next night.

    Finally will be able to trade AR without having to attach several FRPs.

    This is why the NBA is suspicious.

    Ja Morant is perfect for the Utah Jazz.

    What did I tell yall about Deandre Ayton. ??? Look at his stats last two games. Still not Shaq Numbers?????

    Against Wembyana.

    yall still want Nic Claxton or Jarrett Allen or Walker Kessler???

    do you think Cleveland would do Jarrett Allen for Austin Reaves now ???? ??? lol.

    We are a deep team. If Luka plays like Magic Johnson we can win the championship.

    Luka toyed with that spurs team. I like that Bronny had the balls to get In front of Wembyana and guard him. Even though he jumped over him that was good to try to guard him.

    Luka looks phenomenal. Dude can do it all on the court. The Magic comparisons are if you involve your teammates like he did tonight. Lobs for Ayton looking for Ayton that will win us a championship. I just was so into it.

    He was shooting from anywhere. Steals getting in the way of the ball. Active. This isn’t the guy we saw last season.

    This is b*******. I can’t believe the Mavs traded Luka Doncic for AD Nico Is f***ing awesome. What happened.

    that’s why Rob didn’t say s***. Like what???? You want to give us this????

    Guy is a stud. When we have Reaves it’s gonna be incredible. If LeBron accepts his role we really can steamroll the NBA.

    cause there’s no one on OKC that can check LeBron if he just learns to accept a Jaylin Williams role to Luka or just score and do it when he gets the ball we will be unbeatable.

    if LeBron accepted a Draymond role we can win this championship.i told yall in the off season we are deep. We have shooters Kinect. Yall saw how he played when players were hurt. And some of yall wanted to run him out of town. We have our set space the floor shooter.


    We have that in Rui Hachimura. We have Length off the bench Haye’s.


    When get Thiero he gives us another option. Vando for defense. And Vincent for whatever he can bring.

    But LeBron being that matchup problem with Reaves Luka and Ayton the floor will be wide open with LeBron and the spacing with Ayton.

    He’s a skilled big. That’s why I was so adamant about it. I knew what happened in Portland. I knew what he would be here in L.A.


    Daniel Gafford please!!!!!!!


    I just love this squad. Don’t f*** it up. Keep feeding the big fella Ayton he will take us to a championship. Closest thing we are seeing to if we were able to keep AD and get Luka. Now we have the Center. That’s why it was so important to acquire him first.

    The fact that Ayton was gifted to us through a buyout is huge. No trade no depth.


    Ooooooh if we made that Mark Williams trade.

    teams won’t want to play us. We’re gonna see a lot of load management between Luka LeBron and Reaves. I hope not let em play.

    but this team is hard to guard. Luka can do so much if he’s the conductor. People are gonna get so many open shots.

    Go Lakers!!!!!!.

    We are a very serious contender as is. Always look to improve but do it cautiously. Team chemistry is a huge part of the championship mix and we have it. Plus, we still have to work LeBron back in. So far though, madman JJ has pulled the right levers.

    I can't believe we haven't started the statue for him outside the arena. Maybe a banner too if we win a title.

    Instantly right there with West on the list of greatest executives for the Lakers....
