Lakers can get to the Finals in spite of him because of... LeBron and AD

Idk. Something is off about this team. Nunn and Monk wont get significant minutes in the playoffs. Half the roster cant switch. Half court sets are gonna look bad without AD on the floor. They have their flaws.

Exactly. And Lebron will bench or sideline him if he gets out of line and starts going headless chicken in the 4th again.

Nevermind. Dennis really goofed. He really might have to sign a mini MLE "prove it" deal.
Imagine having to sign a prove it deal when you already had the money you asked for on the table. That's tuff

Personally, I don't think you can. This is why I was so against the Lakers making the trade. I believe that Russ has the chance to be a good secondary ball handler who will help the Lakers during the regular season but Russ has a long track record of being horrendous in the playoffs.
Once the game slows down and teams can game plan for Russ, he's very easy to neutralize. Look at how his already low shooting percentages plummet in the playoffs. I remember the Lakers literally didn't guard him in the bubble and just let him shoot the Rockets out of games.

Yup there are some definite flaws just like every other west team. I trust their top 2 more than anyone else's the west's top 2
Seem like they got a roster full of dudes who are same tier so roles and pecking order will need to be established
Perimeter foot speed/defense will need attention. THT will need to shoulder much of that burden most likely

Just catching up here... So it appears the consensus in here is the Lakers are team of washed individuals?

Playoff time they can’t defend, Miami can’t score. A series would be entertaining

This is the real question...
Utah?
Denver w/o Murray?
Clips w/o Kawhi?
Luka?
Phoenix who everybody knows had a fluke run?
Wardell/ Klay coming off of 2 major leg injuries?
Like c'mon.
