    We are going to be playing tough defense, running, dunking, high fiving, nailing threes. We will be playing basketball the way it is meant to be played. My brain won't be numb after watching a game.

    I don't know who is this guy, but he's completely different than all screaming talking heads and I like that

    That was nice and goes along with what some of us have been saying. Rob was on his game putting this roster together.

    Absolutely. This is a very good team built around Luka. Every addition has a clearly defined role: defense, shooting, rebounding, lane disruption, screen navigation, rim protection, and finishing. I'm telling you, the team is custom-built to take Luka's strengths to the next level. It's going to be a joy to watch these young guys develop chemistry. I don't remember the last time I was so excited about the Lakers... I won't miss a game this season.

    Youth, depth, a few very promising prospects, clear hierarchy, absolute killer as the leader, pretty decent coach? Sign me up.

    This team is not perfect, but it is much better than what I hoped for before the offseason started. And while there are some question marks, there is also a lot of potential for positive surprises.I just love how young and full of potential this team is.

    I completely agree.

    Nothing but respect for LeBron, but I think that this kind of enthusiasm and hype for the next season comes from also the fact that he's no longer with us.
    It's like a beginning of a new era for the Lakers, and in the sport the beginning always brings hype and excitement.
