2020-21 NBA Offseason thread: Officially a wrap

Who you got? Non-Lakers seem a little undersized but have much better shooting.

If we are already using a super hypothetical situation, why can't we also put LeBron (CLE) on the other squad?
 
Yeah I thought about that. I hate when we compare those eras. At least the original comparison keeps it “somewhat” modern. Once we start getting
Baylor, West, Wilt etc then it’s more stupid than fun for ME.

How about this, let’s keep it more modern. We know Lakers 5 > Others 5, so expand to 8 and I’ll even it out.
Let’s go with the original starters from that pic.
Lakers bench gets AD, Fisher, and Odom.
Others bench gets Durant, Isiah, and either Charles or Pippen.

Now I think it’s close to a wash
No Metta and Pau?

So you'd want the Lakers version of Bron on one team and the Cavs version of Bron of the other. OR the same exact player on both teams?

I for one, wouldn't even PUT LeBron on the Lakers squad. I get he won a ring there but I just don't think of him as a Laker. But I understand why he belongs.

But to answer your question, in this already 100% fictional world, I would have 2020 Lakers LeBron on team 1 and 2009 CLE LeBron on Team 2 playing against each other.

Who's he replacing?

I also "get" the POV of those that don't WANT to see Steph there. Based on the time, it just seems like he is too current to be included with that team.

But, he belongs whether folks like it or not.

Zeke also belong.

Your choice.

Any team with MJ getting the nod from me.
Hakeem is putting Shaq in the torture rack
Kareem gets a slight edge over Timmy
Larry will mentally defeat Bron
MJ Kobe(RIP) MJ gets the nod
Magic abuses StephVP on offense, then gets PNR’d to death on the other end. 3’s are more than 2’s advantage Steph.
 
I'd put 09 Bron over Duncan, not Bird though. Shooting is what gives that non-Lakers team a chance and losing Bird only leaves you with Steph as an elite shooter.

BIG FISH BIG FISH has a point adding prime KD over Bird or Duncan. Still think I'd lean towards replacing Duncan though.
 
One of my favorite throwback laker jerseys that Kobe played in. Rocking em with the 12s too :emoji_fire: Definitely copping a #8 Kobe when they drop. Nike better not make them impossible to get. RIP mamba miss my guy :frown:

Never forgave Kobe for them socks though
 
Spacing on that Lakers team is trash
Honestly would rather start AD than Kareem/Shaq
And Magic and Bron are obviously redundant, maybe start Jerry West in place of one of those two?

Unless you just want the Nike one, M&N/Fanatics got em right now.


Think you can use a discount code on Fanatics too.
 
The need for spacing is what I had in mind.
This. Offensively the spacing on the Lakers team is atrocious but defensively that's not a paint I'm trying to be in.
Good thing 3 > 2. Replace Tim with KD and the team already has a much better chance of winning.
Replace Bird with Bron and sacrifice a little shooting for better defense and passing and PnR your way to victory.
