🏀~2022 OFFICIAL Lakers Championship Cruise~🏆

[QUOTE=Mr. Woke;14591226]Wrong, retard.

The Lakers roster only would have been a superteam if AD had also made the All-Star game and if the Lakers had actually won the title. The Lakers were never a serious championship contender this season; therefore, they were never going to be a superteam.

LeBron played great, but unfortunately his supporting cast was subpar. He wasn't gifted a great supporting cast, unlike someone like CP3.

I said all of this before the season started. Unlike you, I actually have a life outside of this forum. Accept the fact that countless people all over the country (dumbass casual fans, dumbass so called "basketball experts", etc.) were objectively wrong about the Lakers (and the Nets) being serious championship contenders. You people seriously need to improve your basketball analysis and stop overrating LeBron's supporting casts.[/QUOTE]

You're trying to rewrite history after the fact, and it ain't gonna fly. Lakers were the favorite to win the west no matter how much damage control you try to do. But keep trying to minimize Bronie's supporting cast to make his abysmal performance look not as bad. Keep trying.

Moron.

[QUOTE=Mr. Woke;14591501]They both had some trade value, and they clearly benefited from playing next to King James.

You are a punk ass hater.[/QUOTE]


This "punk ass hater" actually created a thread once about the fact that I don't care about the GOAT debate between MJ and LeBron.

LeGM is a different story :lol

Now open your eyes. There's no need o imagine all that because that's truly TheMan's reality.[/QUOTE]yo ive been lurking this site for years, are you serious about this post? :lol you gotta be lying bro :lol

You are a lying retard who knows jack shit about the NBA.

Only idiots think that the Lakers were the favorites to win the west. If they had actually analyzed the roster objectively, they never would have predicted the Lakers to be the favorites.

Bron's supporting cast this year was objectively subpar. Punks like you are incapable of any serious analysis.

LeGM is a dumbass conspiracy theory spread by sociopathic LeBron haters.

LeGM is why they traded for Westbrook when the Buddy Hield deal was done.

Wrong.

The front office made the decision to trade for Westbrook. LeBron doesn't have the power to make trades.

I don't hate Lebron at all. If someone believes Lebron is the GOAT that is fine by me. I have never tried to argue against him.

But i do give him crap for his flopping and trying to be the GM which has blown up in his face.

Tons of players flop; flopping is a smart strategy when used effectively.

LeBron has never tried to be the GM. From time to time, he simply gives his input regarding personnel decisions (several players do that, by the way). Ultimately, the front office makes the decisions regarding trades, player signings, etc.

Mr. Woke is slicing and dicing ever idiotic keyboard warrior with such grace. I love it.

[QUOTE=Mr. Woke;14591147]Yes. Unlike your retarded ass, I actually know basketball.

Before the season started I believed that the Lakers were gonna finish somewhere between the 8th and 11th seed. However, I wasn't surprised that a lot of people stupidly thought that they were "a serious contender" because many people often tend to overrate LeBron's supporting casts to downplay his achievements, and the overall roster objectively was subpar.

Sure, they had LeBron and AD, but two players can only do so much. Regarding Westbrook, even before the season, I was doubtful that he was a top 50 player in the NBA (I had him in the 51-60 range). And let's take a look at the rest of the roster: Trevor Ariza (very below average role player), Dwight Howard (very below average role player), Carmelo (slightly above average role player), Kent Bazemore (very below average role player), Avery Bradley (average role player), Wayne Ellington (below average role player), Stanley Johnson (average role player), Talen Horton-Tucker (below average role player), Wenyen Gabriel (average role player), Malik Monk (somewhat above average role player), Austin Reaves (average role player), and Kendrick Nunn (he didn't play this season, but he is a somewhat above average role player at best, only slightly better than Monk).

Also, I wasn't a fan of the Westbrook trade (this was the fault of the front office), but I thought that he would play decently at least (not All-Star level but like a top 100 NBA player at least; this season he wasn't a top 100 NBA player). Even if LeBron and AD had played in more games (and even if Russ had played better), their overall record would not have been much better than their 33-49 record because the depth was subpar. The roster clearly needs a major overhaul for the Lakers to even be a top 6 team in the Western Conference next season.

Regarding the Nets, before the season started I believed that they were gonna finishing somewhere between the 6th and 9th seed. However, I wasn't surprised that a lot of people stupidly thought that they were "a serious contender" because many people often tend to overrate Durant's supporting casts to downplay his achievements, and the overall roster objectively was subpar.

KD, Kyrie, and Harden are obviously All-Star level players and Joe Harris is an above average role player. However, this was the rest of the roster before the Harden trade: Blake Griffin (barely average role player), LaMarcus Aldridge (average role player), Bruce Brown (average role player), Nic Claxton (slightly above average role player), Patty Mills (slightly above average role player), Paul Millsap (below average role player), Cam Thomas (below average role player), Kessler Edwards (barely average role player), Day'Ron Sharpe (below average role player), and David Duke (below average role player). After the Harden trade they got Seth Curry (somewhat above average role player), Drummond (below average role player), and Simmons (above average role player, but I didn't expect him to play this season). They also got Dragic around that same time (below average role player).

This roster clearly needs a substantial overhaul for the Nets to be a top 5 team in the Eastern conference.

The Lakers were never a superteam. Your basketball analysis downright awful.[/QUOTE]

Lakers were never a superteam, perhaps.

But they sure were favorites to come out West. :lol
