Optimism Discussion: The Laker's Sky Is Not Falling

LeBron has an opt out after year 3, and most of our other signings are for two years. So we will have a lot of cap space for the 21/22 season for a big free agent that year. If we can win one or 2 rings in that time more stars will want to come and more ring chasers to. This might be the most important 2 years in our history? If played right I think we can be set up for years to come, with AD as our foundation.

 

I can see that too.

 

Like the way we have filled out the rest of the roster, PG position is the main concern for me.

Should win 50-55 games if relatively healthy though.

 

Wow, it escalated quickly. So many signings these few days! We have a good, balanced roster now with skilled players and shooters on every position, except PG, which also lacks D. Hope Cook ups his D, I don't think Rondo can. Or may be Caruso will suprise us again. 52-54 wins and a shot at the Championship I hope.

 

To keep it optimistic, our pg rotation kinda reminds me of the 2011 Miami pg rotation of ancient bibby, arroyo, and charmers.

 

This team is at least 10 deep which means we’ll have a solid bench to stay competitive when starters sit. I dare say we could be a top 4 if not top 3 team in the west?

 

I am absolutely optimistic about how our team was put together. I admit, I was worried we were gonna have another MozgovDeng type situation. Its been hard to trust our front office since Dr. Buss died and we lost Jerry West, but this is a step in the right direction.

Even the subtle instances of signing our guys to multiple years instead of just renting them. Personally I didn't like that we waited for Kawhi, but picking up Green, Cousins, Cook, and bringing back 3 of our main rotation players from last year's roster, has made up for what I was feeling.

Again it's subtle but bringing back players helps with chemistry and chemistry helps teams do well. We need some type of continuity and I look forward to this season to see how we grow.

Now we gotta hope that Lebron plays point guard exclusively. That's his strength and it would maximize this team's potential. I'm very happy.

 

Driving here in the hot rain .. thinking
The Kang was in 8 straight finals.. mvp candidate the whole time
Took a bunch a scrubs that didnt have a team suited for his needs to the 4th seed before he got hurt
He decides to take a year off and the snake wins one with an asterisk
I'm sure people have short memories
Sure hes not the mamba but I believe he has that in his head
Now he has a real team and a giant assassin to ball with. Work load isnt going to be a problem and he is coming back with a vengeance
Stephen a was picking him to get mvp before we got ad.
He is ready rested and angry
He is still the king until properly de throned and now he has a small council
It's time we separate royalty from paupers. I'm excited...
Im also hopped on pre workout.. let's go! I'm ready!

 

Clippers perimeter D is going to be Uber ultra elite, but I’m also really excited about our rim protection with Javale and AD patrolling the paint together. There were times last year where teams were terrified to go anywhere near the paint because of Javale.

 

About that sig of yours with a snake in it .....

 

I cant see any signs
Sad face

 

Milwaukee just signed his brother for 2 yrs he ain't going anywhere

 

F***! I jinxed us. Gotta put back my old sig

 

We said that about the twin snakes too

 

Just like LaVar will tell NO next year if they draft Melo Lonzo will stay. If not he's gone.

 

Surprised our jinx moderator @KareemtheGreat33 wasn't smacking you around about that.
