I'm over complaining.
Just gonna let it play out.
Just wish the moves we made would have happen prior to the season.
2-10 start is very hard to recover from. Some of the games we gave away also brought us here.
Dah well.

Hope the Thunder offered AR 15-17 mill a year. Lakers can match. Will be a good test to see how serious lakers are.

seasons been a wash, but in the process we got off Brick and retooled so the season has been a success for me personally.
I'm not expecting these guys to go on some kind of magical play-in run.
We need a training camp and a full season for a PROPER run
and I'm happy we get to do that next season.
Not making the playoffs is disappointing, but starting fresh without brick is encouraging.

To give ourselves a chance?
The warriors won the title last year and the team wasn’t even that good. If you disagree look at how bad they are this year (all they lost was Otto Porter and Gary Payton - who they just got back).
The west is ***. The only teams that are legit nba championship worthy teams are the Bucks and maybe the 76ers/Celtics.
I’ll take my chances with a as healthy as possible Bron + AD + no [redacted] + a historically weak west.
I do not think we would beat the Bucks but I think we can get there.

Not sure if optimism or arrogance...
you think this team can win 3, 7 game series without playing .500 ball all year?
LMK where that switch is...haven't seen it all season.

Just keep the faith playboy so many games lost in the final seconds we really should be a top 4 seed!

This team only been playing together 5 weeks and Bron has missed 3 of them….
We gon shock the MF’n world

This team has been 10-6 since the trade deadline. It’s a new team and bron has only played 3 of those games. The switch was the the trade deadline.
Bro look around the west. Everyone sucks. If the KD Warriors were waiting around the corner then it would be a different story, but in 2023 the west SUCKS and everyone has a shot.

If you think about it…
Getting rid of Westbrook is like a championship itself.
A play in championship is the cherry on top.

Good thing NBA changed the rules to allow 9-10 seeds a shot at the playoffs
We’re gonna beat the 9 seed
Then we’ll beat the 7/8 loser
Then we’ll take out the Nuggets in 6
Then we beat the Clips
Then we take out Phoenix
Then we go to Boston
Biyaaahhhhhh

We're gonna get dragged, and then everyone will pivot to blaming the coach, the new guys, Russ, the training staffs, but definitely not the two stars or Rob.....the only 3 that been around for each of the last 3 years of failure.
But next year "it'll be different".
I feel like a couple guys are gonna be PISSED if the Lakers actually exceed expectations and play well when Bron gets back

The worst player in our 8/9 man rotation without Lebron has been Beasley.
I’d squeeze Beasley out of the rotation when Bron gets back and the playoffs roll around.
AD/Gabriel
Bron/Rui
Vando
Troy/Reaves
Dlo/Dennis
I’d start Reaves as soon as I could. Yeah the bench would take a hit but I want as many Reaves/Dlo backcourts reps as possible.
Edit: it’s kinda ****** up to squeeze Beasley out when he hasn’t gotten minutes with Lebron though. I also think we have to limit Vando’s minutes until Bron comes back. Beasley and Vando play way better off Bron then they do when Bron isn’t playing and we need to rely on Beas/Vando to contribute on their own.

i genuinely think a lot of people hate having hope/high expectations. they'd rather the bar set low and never be disappointed.

Vando is -74 without Lebron
+40 in 3 games with Lebron
Crazy.
