How many wins do the Lakers get this season without LeBron?

[Gus Hemmingway]

Lets say LeBron wasnt on this Lakers team.

You have

Javale McGee
AD
Kuzma
Green
Rondo

How many win team is that? 25-30 games at most?


As a point of reference Demarcus Cousins, AD, Rondo only won 37 games in 2017

[FourthTenor]

Basically the Cavs of the west.

I mean yeah theyd end up with the top pick, but they wouldnt even get to pair him with AD because AD wouldnt stick around. Hes a bit of a team hopper and I suspect he would basically just bolt to wherever Lebron is and ride his coattails.

AD led pelicans to a 48-34 record in 2018, so as long as AD is focused? Record will be around there

oh but that team was a lot better than the lakers bubba. kuzma has nothing on jrue holiday

[NBAGOAT]

This isn’t their starting lineup. Likely still play Bradley at point. Idk 35-40 wins. Offense is a problem but kuzma will likely score enough to not be terrible(not bottom 5) on offense.

They’re still damn good defensively would be a top 10 defense even with kuz taking lebron minutes

Bro, the 2018 Pelicans arent the issue. Stay on topic.

*2020 LeBron hater logic*

LeBron plays well, Lakers lose = Brons fault

LeBron plays bad, Lakers lose = Brons fault

Regardless of how LeBron plays, Lakers win = All AD

No way do they lose the anchor and remain top 10 defense.

The question is how many wins would they get, I answered the question. That's the definition of staying on topic.

Bro. Youre testing my ****ing patience right now.

Not gonna ask you again.

DROP IT.

If the team and offense was built around AD? Surely more than 33 wins like they did last year.

[Axe]

At least 41 games i suppose

Given the fact that in three of the last five games Davis has shot precisely .286, .273 and .214 (8 for 32 in total) because he doesn't have a clue what to do when getting doubled, I would disagree with this notion. The Raptors showed how incredibly easy it is to stop Davis and teams are following that trend.

[Spurs m8]

Hard to say, OP, but either way, you would still be a virgin tbh

[Airupthere]

And how many did they win with lebron last year?
