CLE is 39-29 for 6th in the East.
MIA has the 4th best record in the league, best in the East.

Yea but look how long it took for them to be respectable or contenders again. 6 seasons for both of them. I guess we just went through a similar drought after Bean tore his Achilles, but yea still isn't ideal.

Do Riri look happy?It's been a rough go the last month or so life wise so that's why I've just been lurking. But just started a new gig which is kinda of a life long dream, get to work at the Crypt and see pretty much every Laker game I want to in addition to chopping it up with the biggest entertainers in Hollywood. Got to kick it with Rihanna and A$AP last night on my first day so that was wild.
This season hasn't gone to form for sure, team has quit and are just waiting for the offseason. Really doesn't make any sense to bring AD byke. My dude Brodie's homecoming had been an unmitigated disaster, I never dreamed he'd be a guy that loses all confidence and subcome to pressure in the fashion he has, but he has and it's been sad to watch. I think the Bron era is destined to end how it has at every other stop, with the team in shambles after he's gone. There is a way to go forward but I don't think brass is willing or got the guts to do it. Appreciate all the concern, especially fromtupac003 , things are slowly turning around for me at least so hopefully I can start to be back and post more regularly.

Season from hell
Keep Reaves and Monk, even Gabriel.
Blow it all up. Get picks, get young talent. Rid the locker room of this piss poor culture of making excuses, no accountability, not playing hard, no identity, no defense.
We won’t win next year with a 38 year old as our best player
AD won’t carry us after Lebron when he’ll be 31 and injury prone and will be worth even less
Trade them now while you can get value
We got one chip out of this now time to ramp up the rebuild

Ssssssssoooooo who's our next face? The plan was obviously for Lebby/Eyebrow to transition to AD & a team built around him. AD was supposed to be the face of the Lakers.
Is he still? Or is it some other talent in the league? What direction would you go?

The thing about the nba is that everything runs on a 2-3 year cycle. The nba as we know it 2-3 years from may be drastically different. Guys have been moving way more than years prior.
Dubs two final runs…then boom KD comes. Then KD moves again to BK.
Kyrie 3 teams in 3-4 years.
Harden 3 teams in 3-4 years. After winning an mvp!
Tatum (only bc pmatic posted it) , Mitchell, Ad, Beal, williamson, Dame, embiid, harden could all be on differ teams by 2026.
No player is safe on their current team.

Tatum will be a Laker when he’s 36
Dame when he’s 35
Klay when he’s 36

Some bottom feeder team looking to fill seats and move merch will take him. He'll play better in a low stress/expectation atmosphere.
Lakers on the other hand just need bodies that can hoop at this point - you take whoever you get as they're almost guaranteed to put up better numbers.
