Clippers just need to move back to San Diego at this point. We need a basketball team again. Get out of LA.

 

Who the fuck is this clown lmao

 

Prayers to all the Cavs fans

 

fuck this shit

 

apparently that same guy called LBJ returning to Cleveland a day or two before that happened so people are saying he's right again.

 

with LAL as they currently are + LBJ + PG i still don't think they get out of the West. maybe next year, depending on how the young guys do, but not this coming year.

 

73-9 and the LIED has to be the whiniest username ever.

 

So what do ya'll think Lonzo nets them lmao

 

so if lebron goes to the lakers do we just cancel the eastern conference playoffs

 

I think Phoenix or Orlando would absolutely covet Lonzo.

Maybe even NOLA if they want to move on from Rondo.

The question is what LA would look for in return. If they want maximum value, that’s probably where I’d look. But they might want seasoned role players.

 

Probably. Just let the Celtics walk into the finals

 

Uh if LeBron goes West it makes the East a toss-up for the first time since he went to Miami, imo.

 

^ This one. Kawhi + The 76ers vs. Celtics w/ Kyrie and Hayward would also be fun.

 

What players does LAL get back from those teams though? They don't exactly scream skilled veteran talent that Bron would want

 

I think the Celtics are heavy favorites in a LeBron-less east unless Kawhi goes to Philly or something

 

That’s what i was saying with the last sentence.

Those three teams would probably covet Lonzo most and would theoretically offer the most to acquire him. They would offer the most value.

But the Lakers may not be looking for traditional value or, put another way, might be looking at value differently than most other teams right now.

If they only want seasoned players, the return might look really ugly.

 

Lol I didn't even see the last sentence whoops

 

those possible BOS PHI matchups are fun but they still are getting smacked in the finals

 

East is definitely a toss-up between Boston, Philly and Milwaukee (now that they have a good coach, that series went 7 games last year)

 

Haha. No sweat.

I’m serving jury duty today so I’m just gonna comment on everything in here to pass the time.

 

Milwaukee definitely still a big shout but that series went 7 with the Celtics their 2 best players. Dunno if the coach makes up for that

 

Giannis and Bud's Bucks will lay waste to a Lebron-less East

 

good coach and the Bucks win that series in 5 smdh

 

Fair. But we also don't know what kind of players those two will be after injuries (Hayward's was more of a freak accident he will probably be fine, but Kyrie has had nagging injuries for years)

Plus a team with Giannis can't be counted out

 

a team with Giannis and Kawhi tbh
