Without Kobe i guess they will be a playoff team again. The team can play without thinking someone that they should have gave the ball to him all the time as a show of respect.

I'm happy to see the Lakers pick up Timofey Mozgov, that big russian will help them a ton on the inside.  Going to be good to watch how they come together next year.

But have you seen the tv commercial Mozgov has made in Cleveland?  They are so bad they're funny.

I don't know why people like Mozgov when he was mostly a bench warmer for the cavs in the finals, people are just so dumb and bandwagoners
Mozgov is good but not really a good player, he is a best fit for the lakers but this team still not legitimate to enter in the playoffs. They need to acquire at least a superstar to make this  this team exciting to watch.
clarkson is there mate he will bring it up together with the two towers hahha, but you are correct lakers needed at least one superstar for them to go back in the playoffs.
The future still doesn't look sunny for the Lakers. They keep shooting their foot with acquisitions that make you think and scratch your head. They need a solid franchise player and a deep bench for them to even contend for a playoff spot in the ultra competitive Western Conference. Clarkson and Russell could develop into a good backcourt tandem, but I don't think they have the makings of franchise players.
We can see that in the coming season, I don't really think that lakers would improve that fast as they need more time to master their roles in the floor, so far clarkson is the most consistent player and he is exciting to watch. If the NBA will give him a break he will be popular in his era.

Lakers fame is finished as kobe bryant finished his journey to that team and for now lakers really getting a hard time to compete to another team since we all know that they dont have reliable teammates who they can rely on,

Theirs no doubt really that they are talented but they dont have what you called one teammates that can lift up there team to have spot in playoffs.

Im not really going to be surprised if these current lined up will be easily elimanate since i dont see any rooster changes to their team even though they have clarkson but still hes to young to brought responsibility to lift and step up for his team.

i agree with that mate if nba and the lakers will give the spotlight for clarkson i can personally say that kid was already a man now he can show the beast mode and compete with anyone. just give him the chance and for sure he will deliver.

Warriors will come strong in the next season and that is certain, they have durant and they are more confident than before. It's 4 all stars playing as starters, can any team beat them? I think no chance for other team, the only team that could match them is the cavaliers.

Remember the Mavs vs Heat Finals 2011 (2010-2011 season)?

That is the first triumvirate (lol) of LBJ, D. Wade and C. Bosh. Expected too by most of the analyst that they will dominate that season "unanimously". And do you think the silent Mavs will crushed them back then?

NBA is unexpected mate. Smiley

This is what I'm talking about. Many superteams in the past didn't win the championship. Like the lakers with malone, bryant and shaq.
Malone was already old and desperate for a ring when he joined the Lakers. And they weren't coached by Phil Jackson back then. The GSW Super Team is a different beast altogether. The system is already there, the main guys are all in their prime, they have the best coach in the league, and their management is among the best. Those are recipes for multiple championships, if you ask me.

That could happen mate but this time is different I guess and upset does not happen all time if you base on the probability. Anyway, this is NBA and as you said it is unexpected because NBA where amazing happens.

Apply that statement back when Heat first formed their big three that everyone thinks that Miami will be the expected champion in 2010-2011 season.

Anyways take a look at the quoted post, "It's 4 all stars playing as starters, can any team beat them?". I'd like to ask him, is that 4 stars really a monster one that no one in NBA can match them?


The big question gonna be happen really there is are they are fit as teammates knowing there are many stars in that team? Does they have chemistry in the hardcourt? Then who will shine among them 4? And that we can consider since im pretty sure that all 4 superstar are use to have the ball always in their hand and if they will not do proper teamwork and do 1 on 1 play well that could be a destructive scenario for them and can lead our expectation to nothing.

But if could do perfect teamwork with perfect execution well they would be monster team in nba just like what you say there and they could be the hardest team in nba on next season pretty sure with that.

Yes the Lakers gave him way too much money.
BUT i was shocked that he didn't play much this season

2015 Finals he averaged 28min, 14pts and 7 rebounds.
pretty good stats if you ask me.

New coach obviously didn't like him that much plus Love was back
The cavaliers are playing small ball now to counter the warriors style of play, they let go of Mozgov because they cannot utilize him anymore and that is a win win for both teams.

Well obviously GSW will lose ~10-12 games in the next season. That's given.

Pretty sure it will be way more than that. They would be lucky if they get more than 62 wins. 73.9 was a one time thing and we saw it didn't work in the long run, they LOST the championship. Regular season stats mean nothing as long as you make play-offs from a good place.

They won't lose 20 games. If they lose more than 20 games ill send you some money.

My prediction is 68-14 or 69-13

Except the Spurs i simply cannot see anybody else beating them 4 times in the playoffs.
And it's not just about 4 all stars. It's also about their system, great coach, versatility as players (i.e. Green can play all 5 positions), bench players, etc.

Lebron is 1 to 6 in NBA Finals if not for choking. I mean Spurs choked in 2013, and so do Warriors in 2016. Those are 2 not convincing rings that details could have changed the outcome.

He has one ring, he won legit vs OKC in 2012.

Lol, so they all choked? The Spurs didn't choke, they lost in a very close matchup, both teams were on the same level really. The only finals that Lebron faced obviously inferior teams were again Dallas and OKC. All other finals were on a similar level (against the Spurs) or the clear underdog (against the Warriors and Spurs w/Cleveland).

well if we gonna go into detail(s) then we could easily say that LeBron won 2 rings cause of other players actually.
Allen's and Irving's 3 pointers decided 2 finals.


without this 3's lebron wont have those rings to count it is very important to remember it is not who made the mvp but to whom who mate that clear shot to make it in the finals i'm not against lebron since he deserved the ring and the thrown just wanna agree with the previous statement.

golden state warriors was sure to this season. hahaha. i want store more btc in my wallet for preparation in nba betting. they are over power and nba permits a powerful like that. there is no balance in the game this season. you can count on your hand who was the powerhouse team that can make through the finals. i hope they rebalance it..

going to be tough to re balance it. Back in the day players went for the big paychecks and it gave small markets star players. Now
all the stars want to build an all star team and care more about winning. Makes it tough on the small teams to ever catch up.
Only small market teams with good management, i.e. OKC and San Antonio, stand a chance against the bigger market cap teams. The disparity in terms of lineup depth and stars in a team, and how super teams from big markets are so common these days. Another thing is players are more attracted to play for bigger market teams because of the bigger earning potential that they can offer.
its all about money and thats the reason the stronger team you have the more publicity you can get and more money to come they are not looking for big salary but they want popularity to get more money from advertisement.
Yeah! NBA is just an organization that promotes entertainment and not really a real competition, superstars are protected because that is what people are watching, without them NBA will have a lower ratings and will not be popular in the world and that could mean less income for the crooks.

Your statement is a bit rhetorical and ridiculous at the same time.

Any sport without superstars would have lower ratings, or should I say - people would watch it less.

And also about Big vs Small markets.
People have to stop with that nonsense - just check what's been happening with LA and NY recently, even Boston.

It's all about how the team is managed (draft pick, salary cap, trades, etc.)

Big/Small markets is the topic of the past
Big market even if teams are losing popularity in the public it could still be popular in the future, the lakers are not that popular but they still have a good sales and in terms of market they are huge when kobe was still their.

This coming season the new kids will rule in LA like clarkson and company.

Yeah if you look at it that way, but GMs and players kinda don't care about sales if you don't have a winning record.

I mean either way players and GMs will get paid but I wouldn't want to have the worst record in the league
