Just wait for next season, because I think Lakers are preparing something that could change the whole team.

Well, Luke Walton will be fired, no question about it. Very likely getting rid of all vets on 1-year deals and probably trading 4 of the 5 young dudes they have. Other than that I don't see them land any notable free agent: Durant, Kawhi, Klay or Kyrie. I'm pretty sure Pels ain't trading Davis to Los Angeles either, no matter what offer they send, it's just not gonna happen.

Don't forget that Magic and Rob Pelinka have no prior experience as president and GM, some very questionable signings and trades over the last two seasons prove that; Zubac for Muscala straight up was a head-scratcher.

Anyway, some dude over Reddit broke down Lakers 2019 free agency, you might want to check it out.

LeBron James will now suffer because of the things he did to the Lakers youngcore. I mean, they did great during the pre-mid season and what did he do? Sell them out? Face the consequence now LBJ. This is the problem of a team when they have LeBron, they are adjusting to him no matter what the odds.

I don't think Lebron will be going anywhere even if the rest of the team have a bad blood on him, the Lakers' already made a commitment by giving him a huge contract and they know a lot of their players will be tradeable once the free agency season comes. Lebron won't be signing up with the Lakers if he and the management didn't have any future plans to make the team a championship contender. After this season he still have 3 years left with the team (2 if he opt out earlier) and that is a lot of time for Lebron to build a good team that can play well around him.

It isnt possible to opt out earlier yet the contract has been made. 4 years time where Lebron would stick out to the team.They might fail to get in to playoffs this year but there would be definitely
some plans to make Lakers to be a better team. Synchronization/Team work cant be built or perfected on a short period of time specially with youngsters together with Legendary player.Adjustments is really needed, it might didnt work well on this time but further on we would able to see the progress of this team.

I think LeBron expect this when he signed up with the Lakers. His plan was to build a team during those 4 years of his contract that could compete in playoffs with the best team so nothing happened without a reason. Just wait for next season, because I think Lakers are preparing something that could change the whole team.

If the whole team do a blackout when they play along with the King that their problem, not his. Of course, the team should be adjusted to him, he is the best player in the League for many seasons and he has proven that he can carry a team to the championship winning. If the young core can't adjust then they should make a room for new players that can learn by playing alongside LeBron.

Phoenix beating the warriors last night?
What has happened also with the bucks losing to the spurs? Embarrassed

I think now is not time to rely on the best in the east and top of the west to not be on their game with the remaining games left in the regular season.

GSW was great at the first quarter but it ended at 2nd where Suns gets it back in just a flash.
They have been quite sloppy with their plays and Booker saw that killing them with his accurate shots that is unstoppable.

Good defense back and forth and stops while GSW keeps on missing shots.
You cannot really tell by now what could be the outcome. Booker was so happy at the end of the game beating the number 1 team in the West.

Seems the bottom teams are playing these games harder then the ones who are on top of their conference knowing they already clinched a playoff spot. So why would they push their key players now and not save this energy when it will really counts? To fight in their selective conference.
Celtics lost last night and raptors the night before. So expect this to be an ongoing trend for the remaining games left.

ANDRE INGRAM IS BACK. He is basically the favorite basketball player story I love to read. Dude was a college player who finished with a degree in physics and a really smart dude who accepted the fact that he will never be an NBA player but decided not to go overseas or anything so he stayed on Gleague and played over a thousand games there.

He didn't make enough money and he tutored students on summer on math just to make ends meet and never really had any financial freedom most of basketball players had, lived on an expensive place like Los Angeles on just 60 thousand dollars yearly which is really less than some McDonalds managers make there and made it into Lakers roster last year and earned almost as much from that as his contract at g league and now called back this year as well.

I am sure this year wouldn't be that much of a deal for him since he had is debut already but playing on Lakers must be amazing no matter how or when. I just hope he could find a min contract somewhere in the league before he decides to retire, he really deserves a good pay check in his case even a minimum would be so much better.

I think the real deal here is the confidence of the teammates of LBJ, no matter what how good LBJ is and if there's no team work the team will fall by the end.

The real potential of the players are not shown because of this. Look at Kyrie, he leads the celtic with the team as came strong in the mid season. If Lebron could control his facial expressions in every miss of his teammates, I think there would be a great difference rather than making excuse out of his teammate.

Phoenix is on a run and seems like they are super motivated, especially against big teams. They won 5 of their last 7, during which they beat playoffs teams like Miami and most important they beat the two top seads Milwaukee and Golden State. If before this you would bet against Phoenix without even thinking about it not you might be afraid to bet against it.

Going with heat and Philly today. Raps aren't that good

Not good? I don't know your definition but AFAIK they route the Heat today.
Raptors are playing without their main man were able to beat the Heat at home and they make it with 21 points advantage in the end.

Raptors loss against the Rockets at home but it doesn't mean they are not good IMO.

How can they be good when they lose to the Cavs? wow, fire nurse, fire masai

Raptors are inconsistent, they loss against the Cavs, not good, but have you seen how the warriors loss to the suns as well?
I guess games lately are so unpredictable, good teams losing to the weakest teams seems like normal, but if you look at the overall standing, still cannot be denied how good the Raptors already, they are already in the playoffs even if they tank in most of their remaining games.

It's good to see that even the dominant teams can be beaten by the underdogs, you give a good example, even raptors lose with cavs they are still in the playoffs, might have some bad nights for raptors as even they have much deeper bench things didn't work out well today.

How about celtics and clippers game? tatum less celtics got overpowered by the clippers, what a game for Lou Williams.

Of course it's unpredictable because the ball is still round as they say. If the other team play well and the other is too complacent on the way they have positioned in their bracket, that's the time when the underdogs bite and win the game. Just like what happened between the raptors and the Cavs game. Raptors seemed to relax their game then the Cavs take the advantage and win the game.

How about this big news, Lou Williams passes Dell Curry for most bench points in NBA history

Not only they dominated the Celtics at home but he also get this big achievement on his carreer.
This guy has been playing really well, I must say he is an underrated star, he has given full recognition because he can take his team to a win.

Probably he is the only 6th man I know that is also a main man of the team at the same time.

His teammates call him uncle Lou who literally shut down uncle drew's team today. Grin

Upset are inevitable, its either the good team had a rough night, or the other team had an outstanding performance.
As for the Raptors, they have been playing not so well in the playoffs, although they made it to the top seed, but fell short against the Cavs. I think it would be totally different this year since they have a new roster, a much stronger line up. It will be an exciting playoffs this year.

It is getting harder and harder to watch Lakers.

Well, I guess you have an idea on where the team's going soon? Undecided

This season is definitely done for the Lakers, especially with Ingram also out for the rest of the season. There is not point in watching their games anymore since even LeBron is not as he was before, complaining all the time to referees about everything. Let's just hope next year, they will make some good trades and be a top seed in the NBA.

And I think Lebron James already lost that appetite to keep on going.

I guess this is just all about the remaining games and they have to play all of it until the end of this season. We don't have anything to say about him, better luck next time to our idol.

You would really have that kind of feeling even how good you are but you already know that you wont able to proceed to playoffs, you will surely lost your appetite to go on and
making such good performances.Lakers are done for this season and sorry for the fans who do have high expectations on them. Cry

He missed a lot of game and I really feel sorry for him..

Not all times you are at the top and I'm sure that retrieval will come for the next season. We can't ask for more but be better after this season. Embarrassed

I really don't want to see that Lebron's transfer to Lakers can destroy his career. This will be disastrous not only for him but also for all of us who enjoy watching NBA.
This year was definitely not Lebron's. I believe that the MVP of this season is Giannis Antetokounmpo with a solid performance since the season started.

It's not LeBron's fault that this team could not reach the playoffs. He did all his best and played as good as he could but this Lakers team is just not a playoff team right now. I am sure the Lakers will do some changes next season and came back stronger, proving they deserve to reach the playoffs and make a good impression there.

Time now to watch the playoffs without LeBron. And besides there are interesting teams to watch.

Speaking of new faces I want to see Bucks vs. Nuggets in the finals just for a change lol. If ever, that was really a 100% new faces in the finals since Dallas Mavericks vs. Miami Heat in 2006.
