Am I the ony laker / Bron sympathizer that doesnt wanna see Kyrie there?


Not cause it would be bad for the team, but because it would be overkill.

No thrill in winning a chip with Bron/AD/Kyrie...yay.. so what?!

Bron/AD and good supporting cast is far more exciting.

Well what's crazy is, this move doesn't put them over the top, because we don't even really know the level of the roster they have currently because of injuries resting in basically zero continuity.

Anything can happen. There's no guarantee they automatically click and roll through the West.

But as to your question, all the drama and excitement alone is worth making that move :D:D
Another playoffs without Lebron would be awful (which they could certainly miss with the roster as constructed)

I'm sure there's many other Bron nut lovers that don't want Kyrie there, it will look less embarrassing when bran inevitably chokes

Yeah but if they do click there‘s no excitement in it.

AD is already the best 2nd option in the NBA. Don‘t need the by far best 3rd option also.

Would you rather see Lebron get bounced in the 1st round again?
Since they won't have HCA IF they even make the playoffs.
I'm not confident that the Lakers could beat Memphis, Clippers or Nuggets in the 1st round with just Lebron/AD.
They need Kyrie badly. Lakers should give the Nets everything they want, tbh.

I could've sworn I remember you pushing for LeBron/AD/Kawhi back in 2019.

I just read somewhere that Tristan Thompson tweeted or said in response to Kyrie's trade request, "Time to get the gang back together."

Thompson is out of his mind though. He recently said Lebron should be in the MVP conversation if the Lakers somehow get to the 6th or 7th seed.

Wait what's absurd about that


You realize lebron is averaging like 30/8/7 and has a garbage injured cast right?

That doesn't mean he should be in the MVP conversation.
Team record matters and Lebron hasn't been exactly clutch in a lot of close games.
(I'm not a Lebron hater)

[ArbitraryWater]

I was, but that was more so in retaliation to the Warriors. That feeling of „revenge“ is gone now. He‘s won another since then anyway.

You‘re joking. Theyre good now with AD healthy, make a trade for Russ and they are more than set.

Yea Id rather see LeBron lose in R1 then have another cheat code team turn the league into a bore.

LeCuck has been colluding

Let's hope Kyrie goes to the Clippers to hang a shit on LeCuck

Bro how dumb are you? How many games have Lebron, AD, and Kyrie missed over the last three years? A **** ton.

Even if the Lakers miraculously get Kyrie, he and AD are extremely injury prone, and Lebron has missed plenty of games himself and is only getting older with every game.

Any one of them could easily go down with an injury soon and then the Lakers once again have no shot at the chip.

As long as theyre heathy, it woud be a bullshit ring. Whats so hard to understand about that?

If you think this Lakers team with Kyrie is a bullshit ring, then so are all of Lebron's rings outside of the bubble. Those Heat/Cavs teams were definitely better.

The Lakers with Lebron/AD healthy this year still have not been good because of the horrible roster construction and the fact that they are the worst shooting team in the league. So really, if Kyrie comes and then win a ring then that will be very impressive.

This. Lakers with Kyrie won't roll through the conference like the Heatles or Cavs back then. Lebron is 38.
The league is far too competitive today to see this a super team just dominating and rolling through the playoffs.

Bruh, are you retarded?

AD is a far better 2nd option than Bron had with MIA/CLE and Kyrie is a far better 3rd option than Bron had with MIA/CE, in fact he is better than any 2nd option outside of 2011 Wade.

Wtf are you saying :oldlol::oldlol:

Despite Lebron's age, the difference is there's more competitive balance around the league today and there will be better teams than the likes of freaking Atlanta Hawks led by Horford/Millsap to stop Lebron going to the Finals.

Doesnt matter. The finlas teams from those times are every bit as good if not better than the current top.

leBron is still top 5, his age has nothing to do with his eve. The lakers aready have the best 2nd option in the NBA, now you want them to have the best 3rd option also?

Ridicuous. Thats a shit product. Dont see everything from a lebron lens bro

There is more to basketball than just two or three players per team. Those other Bron teams had way better shooting/chemistry, plus Bron himself was better. It's funny how you act like Bron is the first option on this Lakers team considering AD has been their best player when healthy.

Besides, if you want to see Bron win a ring then you don't have a choice but to try and accept Kyrie. Lakers aren't doing a damn thing with this current team so idk why you are bitching bout them maybe getting Kyrie. Do you want Bron to miss the playoffs again?

There are 5 players on the foor.

The difference in the role payers is not NEARY big enough to make up for the GIGANTIC difference between the top 3 payers.

You are fooling yourself.

They could make a simple trade for Russ and fill out all their needs and still maintain the best 2nd option in the NBA. Dont tell me that isnt enough. A 3rd star of Kyries caliber is overkill.

I'm not "hoping" for it. You said you are a Lebron sympathizer and wanted him to compete for a chip...well that's not happening with this current Lakers squad.

Also a AD/Lebron/Kyrie trio with this Lakrs team would still not be better than those KD Warriors teams.

Youre excusing it. Youre fine with such a team. You bemoaned the fact that Bron coud otherwise miss the playoffs.

But again, you said the MIA/CE teams were better than Bron/AD/Kyrie... so I dont know what youre smoking. But the true gem beongs to "So really, if Kyrie comes and then win a ring then that will be very impressive."

You think just adding Kyrie will turn a THIRTEEN-seeded Lakers into "easy, no contest" title favorites. Bro you are the one smoking something. You have vastly overrated this current Lakers team. Have you not seen the last two seasons? It would be a legit ring if the Lakers won with Kyrie.

Everything you say is under the assumption that AD isnt healthy.

If AD isnt healthy, Kyrie wont matter.

If he is, then obviously the akers can win the chip.

Have you ever seen Bron & AD play together? Jesus christ dude.

LOL Bron and AD healthy this year still have a bad record. Go look it up. This Lakers team outside of them is total trash and can't shoot anything. This isn't the Bubble team.

And it's funny how you say "if" AD isn't healthy. Odds are high that he indeed gets injured.

Idk where this false hope is coming from about this Lakers team...

They opened bady. Theyve pretty much won every game or ost in OT in the ast 20+ games together.

They won the chip in 2020. They started 21-7 in 2021 before ADs injury.

Be reaistic. Theyre a terror together.

How much more help do you want LeBron to have? Seriousy?

Win a title, of course. Gonna be an uphill battle but Bron/AD are that good.

As they are showing us, pretty much every single game.

You are so dumb :roll:

"Win a title"...just wow. Good luck with your bets.

[RRR3]

Win a title with Disasterbrook :yaohappy:

This is legitimately the worst built team of all time, the fact that a team with LeBron and AD (a proven championship level duo) is mid speaks to just how awful the roster is built. It shouldn't even be possible to not be good with LeBron and AD. Pelinka is the stupidest person on earth.

Except Davis gets hurt a lot and Kyrie likes to be a distraction.

Hey Arby,

The 13 seed Lakers just lost to the 12 seed Pelicans who were on a ten game losing streak.

What were you saying about this Lakers team competing for a chip without Kyrie?

Face it, the Lakers need to either try to get Kyrie or blow this team up as soon as possible.

[ArbitraryWater]

Kyrie/Bron/AD are instant champions at any time. Dont be ridiculous. luckiy, it did not happen.

[dankok8]

Honestly I agree with Arby lol

He didn't say the Lakers were favorites just that they are a contender if Lebron/AD are both healthy which is true. If the NBA had 2-3 juggernaut teams with 62+ wins and 8+ SRS I'd say no tough sell but we might have #1 seeds with 55 wins and +4 SRS. I'm not convinced that the best teams in this league are much better than some of the weak teams Lebron beat in the East. At least if you trust the metrics they aren't. The road to the title is very wide open. Honestly this year might be the biggest crapshoot this late in the season that I've ever seen as far as who wins the title.

[imdaman99]

For real, I was shocked when Westbrook was benched and Lakers blew the lead in the 4th to the Pelicans. Last I recalled, Lakers were undefeated before they got Wesbrook and won the championship in 2021. Once Westbrook was traded there, Lakers became doormats. Lets face it, we could replace Westbrook with jiminy cricket and they would easily win the chip.

The Lakers have a losing record this year when AD and Lebron play. This was brought up before to Arby but he ignored it. Looks like you should do some research too. This Lakers team is very flawed, they are probably the worst shooting team in the league.

You cannot have success in the current extreme space and pace regular season format without shooting. Even ignoring the role players, Westbrook is the worse volume shooter in the league, and Lebron/AD have not been much better this year.

Ultimately, if the Lakers traded Westbrook for Irving, then they would clearly get better...but they would still not be "guaranteed" a chip. There are still better teams out there.

2020 Lakers were also a bad shooting team...

Again I'm not saying the Lakers set the world on fire with Lebron/AD. They didn't and are probably a 40-45 win team that squeaks in to the playoffs with those guys. Normally that isn't enough to contend but knowing that Lebron/AD have serious playoff pedigrees and that that the #1 seed might be a 55-win +4 SRS team I like their chances.

[dankok8]

By the way Lakers are now the 13th seed but they are only 5 games behind the 3rd seed Kings.

[BallsOut]

StrongLurk is a bitch. StrongBitch always wanted LeBron to have 3 superstar teammates because deep down he knows LeBron can’t win otherwise. What a bitch.

[bison]

By the way Lakers are now the 13th seed but they are only 5 games behind the 3rd seed Kings.

With 30 games left, the 5 game gap is far more daunting today than it was two months ago. It's all about making the play-in now, forget 5th or 6th seed. And we would be lucky to even get that far. Deep into the season now, and the Lakers are still showing they can't close out games or run correct lineups even with a healthy roster. Every game this calendar year seems to go down to the wire when most of the time it should never get to that point.

My point wasn't that the Lakers will catch up and become a high seed. My point is that for all intents and purposes, the Western Conference and the league as a whole have tremendous parity to the point where just about any team that makes the playoffs could challenge for the title. Especially a team that has two proven playoff performers in Lebron and AD.
