As soon as the Lakers make their first off-season trade or acquisition, we'll see the 2023 Lakers Championship Cruise thread.
I'm betting TheConstipation has learned his lesson? He's legit mentally retarded so maybe not...officially the biggest FAIL thread in ISH history.

Lebron's been awfully silent except for the "not my decision" statement.
Maybe once the lakers make some significant acquisitions we're going to hear another batch of cringe shit from bron and the brontards again. Aint no fun when the rabbit has the gun.

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.

You don't know anything about basketball or life.
Fact is, Lakers SHOULD have been a super team given all the individual talent they had. They played like absolute dog crap all season though, because they don't know how to play team ball and their stars are more concerned with chasing individual stats than they are about doing things that lead to winning. You know, like defense.
Unless you can show me a post you made at the start of the season saying they were going to finish 8-11th seed, then go stuff it. NOBODY was saying that.

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.

If Lebron had been "gifted" the Suns roster he would have traded Ayton/Bridges/Johnson to bring in vets.
Interesting that Ingram played so well against the Suns. What team drafted him? I can't remember.

Nope. Ayton, Bridges, and Johnson are actually really good role players.
Ingram was a late bloomer and expendable at the time (trading him for AD was objectively a good decision since he will never be as good as AD).

They became really good role players after getting significant time for multiple seasons. LeBron wouldn't have allowed that. He would have gotten rid of them before they had the chance to develop.

Sure. Those specific players eventually become good role players over time in Phoenix (they most likely would have become good role players on any other team for that matter).
LeBron would have recommended the front office to keep them if they had showed some promise from the very beginning. Players who aren't keepers should be traded for superior players (e.g. the Lakers trading Ball and Ingram for AD).

He trades all the young players for vets. He has done that over and over.
When has a LeBron led team ever let a young draft pick develop without trading them?

First of all, LeBron doesn't trade players; the front office does that. LeBron simply shares his input with them. LeGM is a dumbass conspiracy theory.
The Lakers front office trading Ball, Ingram, and Hart for AD was objectively the right decision (Kuzma wasn't included in that trade). The Cavs front office trading Wiggins and Bennett for Love was the right decision. However, the decision of the Lakers' front office to include Kuzma in the Westbrook trade backfired. Most of the time the front offices of LeBron-led teams make the right decision regarding trading younger players for more established ones.
Speaking of young players, Talen Horton Tucker should be traded if there is an opportunity to obtain an above average role player.

So in other words you can't find any young player that a team drafted and developed while Lebron was on the team. What a wild coincidence that 3 different teams did the same thing.
There is no reason to believe it would have been any different on the Suns.

There are some (e.g. Mario Chalmers with the Heat, Kyle Kuzma with the Lakers, Dellavedova with the Cavaliers). However, others were simply more useful as trade chips in order to acquire more established/better players.

Chalmers and Dellavedova weren't good and wouldn't bring much in a trade. Chalmers averaged 9/4 for his career and was out of the league at 31. Delly averaged 5/4 for his career.
