    your sixth best player being a former allstar under 30 making 30+ million is...a luxury.

    Yeah but as great as C Bags were in the 80s the Lakers were greater there too 5-3 titles. Still modern era vs 50s and 60s where the C-bags racked up most of their wins in small number of teams league with a “stacked” team and Bill Russell.

    Lol.right..Bill Russell's rings, should come with an asterisk...The C Bags had about 20 Hall of Famers, on their team back then!

    IMO

    issue is 18-17. Lakers were suppose to get to 18 first after 2020. And management ruined it. The Lakers would need to win two more to pass them again, and that’s if the C Bags stop winning which if they win this, is unlikely. They are built to win for the next few years.

    diagree. horford and holiday are going to age out soon, and tatum and white are going to demand a LOT more money in the next two years. zinger won't be healthy.

    this is their year, imo. after this, i'll be surprised if they get another one with this core group.

    and they completely lucked out this year with all the injuries. if miami had been healthy, they might have gotten bounced in round 1

    the bball gods just wanted them to win it all this year

    DAL is trying to get under Boston’s skin ! Kidd said Brown is Boston’s best player ! Apparently Tatum and Brown hate each other

    Cool. Tatum might want to live out his dream fantasy, of playing for the Lakers, like his idol Kobe, soon.

    Rondo switched sides..that worked out pretty well for us too.

    yeah, the nba playoffs are an endurance race, and the C Bags were able to win while zinger was down (because every single opponent had worse injuries), and now they've got 3/4 luka and the mavs.

    oh well. hats off to boston, tbh. they've been knocking on the door for years, and that holiday move was great opportunism. covered for what i think was actually a mistake moving for porzingis. it made his acquisition and the loss of smart make sense.

    again, just hope this motivates our front office to get things squared away here.
