Has any team destroyed its Championship squad as much as Lakers?

[Nike D'Antoni]

Danny Green
Rajon Rondo
Avery Bradley
Dwight Howard
Javale Mcgee
Markieff Morris
Quin Cook

7 players gone.

They were going to make changes but they trying to get younger. They getting the bigs to deal with other teams since AD and Lebron don't want to deal with Jokic and others.

I'm quite disappointed by the fact that they still haven't included kuzma yet in this list. Hopefully they will soon.

'99 Bulls maybe

Ah yes the Bulls disassembled their veteran core like a cardboard box.

I thought he can guard 5 positions

Bradley and Cook shouldn't even be on that list. Howard was not that good in the playoffs outside of the Nuggets series. Javale was completely useless. Finally, we still dont know if Markieff is gonna leave or stay.

The only two guys we could miss are Rondo and Markieff but we got a lot better anyway. Schröder is a way more consistent player than Rondo was

[TheGoatest]

OP petrified. Lakers easily better than they were last season, where they won the championship. If they're all healthy, this is easily a repeat. The only way this is not a repeat is if LeBron falls off massively.

Danny Green-replaced by Matthews (even but 1/3 the cost) :applause:
Rajon Rondo-replaced by Schroeder (upgrade) :applause:
Avery Bradley-lost him for nothing :(
Dwight Howard-replaced by Harrell (upgrade but not great fit) :(
Javale Mcgee-replaced by Gasol (upgrade) :applause:
Markieff Morris-to be determined
Quin Cook-bench scrub

7 players gone.

Overall: pretty pretty pretty good

Bro's *nudge*, Lakers downgraded this offseason. If Lebron wins a chip with the new guys, Lebron becomes GOAT if he isnt already.

[iamgine]

Lakers making big boys moves. Schroeder, Harrell, Gasol, Matthews are really good complementary players.

But not better then Dwight/Rondo/Green/Bradley/Mcgee/Cook/Kieff. Lakers top 4-5 now?

You're forgetting something.

All of those players were only supposed to be temporary.

They weren't supposed to win the title last year. Last year was all about acquiring Anthony Davis and seeing what happens with an eye towards future free agents to complete a team they desire.

They just happened to win this year, but the plan ahead remains the same.

The team they have now is more along the lines of what they were trying to assemble in the first place.

Definitely repeat bound.

[Basketball r Us]

Jordan Bell --- very athletic big guy. Might be the sleeper in this year's haul.

Lakers just rotating role players that LeBron is gonna gift a ring to. How many average players are champions purely from riding Bron's coattails

This will always be in the discussion...
Some experts have stated that their core is of two , and that is all they need..
If Bron wins the 2021 chip I will have to consider him 1b.
Still believe they need a younger legit center.

This. Stupid question, really. By the way, the '11 Mavs also changed a lot their roster after the championship, IIRC.
