Is a 27-win pace team worth one superstar?

[TheCorporation]

The Lakers were so close: "Look here Dell Demps, we will give you every integral and valuable piece of our current 27-win pace young core for Anthony Davis! You can have Ball, Hart, Ingram, Kuzma, Zubac, Rondo, Beasley and MULTIPLE 1st round picks. Will you please take this awful, 27-win pace team away from us?!

Zo, Kuz, Rondo etc all missed games in those 18 games and we played the toughest part of our schedule, nice try.

Oh wow, no way! King Zo and King Kuz missed some games!?? The same guys that won 35 full games last year? :lol The same guys that are 6-12 this year :lol

Also, we played some WEAK ass teams too during this stint. So again, nice try.

This could have been the greatest fleece of all time if the Pelicans bought into the young core hype, it's too bad as a Lakers fan they were smart enough and did not.

[ImKobe]

Lakers played a 30-win pace without Zo last year and they're playing at a 23-win pace this year without him.


Playoff teams Lakers faced without Bron this year

GSW 2x
OKC 2x
Jazz
Clippers
Sixers

Then you have a bunch of teams that were at around .500 or over in Mavs, Kings 2x, Wolves 2x.

We did lose two games we should have won, but we also beat teams we had no business beating @OKC and @DAL. Lebron wasn't the only guy missing in those games, we've missed Kuzma, Rondo & Zo in these games.
