I'd say the Lakers have gotten better. It looks like it's theirs to lose.

LeBron has had an amazing offseason.

LeBron's offseason:

- Max extension for AD
- Trade for Dennis Schroder
- Extend LeBron to 2023
- Signed Marc Gasol
- Signed Wes Matthews
- Signed Montrezl Harrell
- Re-signed KCP
- Re-signed Markieff

I'd say 65% chance.

I'd say 65% chance.

I'd say 65% chance.

That's probably a decent bet

In terms of a playoff team, the Lakers have gotten worse. LeBron is the sole playmaker on this team now... not something you want to see from your 36 year old star. Lakers also benefitted from the most favorable matchups and the bubble where Bran and Rondo's IQ reigned supreme in a 7 game series. That competitive advantage is also gone.

I'd say less than a 50% chance to repeat. The talent is certainly there, but I can't help thinking this team gets exposed with zero playmakers in an actual playoff environment.

??? Why are you acting like Schroeder isn’t a playmaker? He was compared to Rondo when he came into the league. Obviously he turned out to be more of a scorer but the point stands.

The only team that has a chance of stopping them are my Nets so a repeat is very likely

your Nets vs my Lakers

[jayfan]

Probably.

They will miss Rondo come postseason, though.

I'd say 65% chance.

If it was a bubble season yea. 65% way too high if nba goes anything like nfl season. This roster isn't built to absorb the blow if their best player lands on the covid list.

Right now they are way ahead at number one +250 odds. Next closest is the Clippers at +650.

It will be a colossal failure if they don't win.

Yep we are on a collision course

Another juicy meltdown.
