doubtful, west too stacked. gonna be a bloodbath for 3-8. they only real awful team will be the kings tbh.

just saying, doubt the Lakers roster is good enough if he is chilling during reg season. i mean, he will turn it on, if lakers have a rough start. imo a lot of people forgetting that Randle contributed last season to the amount of wins. tho you cant really take last season win number and add lebron improvement. this is a different team with a bunch of new players. gotta see how well they perform other than lebron.

You’re supposed to have high expectations for your team m8. I know the West will be an incredibly tight race down to the end of the season but you never know!

I reallllllly wanted to retain Randle. He’s an absolute beast and if I recall correctly. he led the league in points per pick&roll last year. He improved his defense quite a bit last season and was pretty much a train coming thru the paint.

However, the additions this offseason strongly outweigh the players lost.. I think people are really underestimating the potential of Ingram. He is still so young and over the next few years he could become a waking bucket.. not to mention Ball, Kuzma, Hart etc. This team has some good young pieces that will be “forgotten” due to the addition of LBJ.

I have Ingram as the most improved player this season. Next i'll say is Ball because once him and Bron connect, they will be an amazing 1 2 punch. Hart is next on the list with having just so much more potential to improve. And Kuz exploded last season but i doubt he'll have the same growth. He will still improve but not at the rate of the other 3 imo.

I think Kuzma will take another step forward this season imo. It’s safe to say he blew away expectations from last year, but he put a lot of time in the gym this summer.. put on some weight, spent time with Kobe and ofc LBJ.

Ingram, Ball/Kuzma, Hart

EVERY single Laker is a beast defensively apart from perhaps Kuzma. Lonzo is great. Hart is great. Ingram is great.

Since when has ingram proved to be a great defender

???

Delusional lakers fans.
Ingram is inconsistent as fk.

Now he has the best player on the planet beside him, get over your self and enjoy the Lake Show on top again.

Kobe couldn't even stay a whole game when he went to watch, said it was so pathetic how bad they were, he embraced LBJ becoming a Laker, you should too.

This is coming from a die hard Kobe fan too, you don't have to like LBJ but respect his game and where he can take us.

Too late, he's already a Warriors bandwagoner.
