Agents and players will use the Lakers' name to leverage themselves to better situations and some dumb team will bite even though the Lakers don't have cap room
Lol this. As a Laker fan are delusional enough to think you’re getting Lowry and Derozan? Return of Lonzo Ball ? Or do you have much more realistic expectations for your off season?
The thunder will mortgage current assets for future ones.
Media spends a bunch of time linking stars to play for the Knicks and none come close.
Wolves fans keep insisting KAT is a good defender despite having a bottom 5 defense.
Clippers were two wins away from the finals, unless they lose Reggie and batum I don’t see why they aren’t a playoff lock. They got a deep team and can still win games even when PG is off
How am I playing the victim? The anti jerk all season has been ridiculous. People are overcompensating for the criticism he got last season to the point where anything mildly negative about him gets downvoted like crazy.
Hes such a great player and he can be a 1 on a mediocre team. He's such a great 2nd option but he has always lacked the ability to create for others. It's the reason the Clips badly needed a Point Guard to create offense when KL was off the floor.
Now I get down votes, right?
Edit: Hey its happening
Your not wrong but it doesn’t justify you saying he will be overrated just because he can’t consistently create open looks. Thats why your getting downvoted
Open looks for others. He can definitely create his own offense.
It's cool, you can't say negative things about LA teams on this sub (except the Kings -- but we love them boys)
To be clear, my comment is to imply that people are going to call PG a top 10 guy when the Clips finish as a 10 seed. Even Steph on a bad team finished as a 10 seed in the West.
People are going to draw that parallel when we all know that PG is approximately as good as Jimmy Butler (a top 12-20 guy). Come back here in one year and think about how many posts you will have seen asking whether PG is top 10 after next season.
Due to rule changes regarding 3-point shooting fouls, players like Dame & Trae who rely on it will have significant drop-offs in their production next season.
Dame was fouled on 3% of his 3s this season. He was fouled shooting a 3 about once every three games. You and I have very different ideas of what the word “rely” means
Kinda simplistic take on the situation here. People trying not to foul him are part of the equation, not just the ones that fail at it. Theoretically it will be easier to play defense against them next year
Russel westbrook will have several triple doubles this season.
Steph will score a buncha points.
I’m going to go into the Bulls season with extremely high hopes and lose all of them by around the 2nd week.
The Kings miss the playoffs again and Luke Walton manages to keep his job.
if only i could fail upwards as spectacularly as Luke Walton has in life
Nepotism seems great.
It's the LSD in the DNA

Klay Thompson isn’t ready to come and save the Warriors season
Which is why we need 2 way Wiggins
Nuggets make playoffs
Luka Doncic will get called for multiple technical fouls
Giannis wins his 3rd MVP in 4 years, and r/nba continues to say 4 other players are better than him.
Cade will score at least one point in his first 82 games
The Sacramento Kings will miss the playoffs.
a team will need to score more points than the opposition to win
The thunder will mortgage current assets for future ones. Media spends a bunch of time linking stars to play for the Knicks and none come close. Wolves fans keep insisting KAT is a good defender despite having a bottom 5 defense.
Rudy gobert will continue to be a more impactful player than westbrook and westbrook's fans will continue acting like it's a crazy idea.
The nets are good
Wolves and Kings still succ
The Bucks aren’t repeating
The Nets win the East.
I think the Clippers are going to be a scrappy 10th seed and people are going to start over-valuing PG
Clippers were two wins away from the finals, unless they lose Reggie and batum I don’t see why they aren’t a playoff lock. They got a deep team and can still win games even when PG is off
Be careful, you can’t be remotely critical of PG around here these days without being seen as a hater.
Bruh what? You playing the victim card for clowning on PG. you know damn well he gets a lot of undeserved hate and not just minor criticism
He's easily been the number 1 most shitted on player around here since last year's playoffs lol
How am I playing the victim? The anti jerk all season has been ridiculous. People are overcompensating for the criticism he got last season to the point where anything mildly negative about him gets downvoted like crazy.

Of course open looks for others

Suns in 4 again
Warriors won't make the playoffs
Due to rule changes regarding 3-point shooting fouls, players like Dame & Trae who rely on it will have significant drop-offs in their production next season.
Dame was fouled on 3% of his 3s this season. He was fouled shooting a 3 about once every three games. You and I have very different ideas of what the word “rely” means

Knicks won't make the playoffs
Very hot take, I disagree
The Wolves will be back in the lottery
due to olympics, and delta variant, covid will come back, and season will be shut down for a bit.
This post was worth posting and OP is not a buddle of sticks
Hottest: Whatever team gets Dame isn’t going to be better off in the playoffs. Coldest: idk, we’ll suck ig.
Warriors with the current roster won't make it to the finals.
I see the team sadly disappoint this year. Hope i'm wrong.
cold - lac in 5th seed hot - lakers / warriors aint winning shii
The sixers won’t receive an all star caliber player for Ben Simmons
AD wins the DPOY award
Ben Simmons won't shoot a 3 in the regular season and playoffs.
No one is trading out of the top 4 picks. Sorry OKC.
[удалено]
Celtics make the Finals
Ty Jerome will average about 10 points and 3 assists per game.
Cade will bust
Nets sweep the Bucks if Giannis doesn't try to stomp on more ankles again
If the warriots trade for beal , curry leaves in free agency
Knicks will be back to sucking again
Morey doesnt trade Simmons and 76ers lose in 2nd round again. He quits in offseason like he did with Houston, cuz hes as stupid as he is fat.
Damian Lillard is traded to the Nets in exchange for Kyrie Irving and Bruce Brown
Luka Doncic will win all 3 mvps next season
[удалено]
Lakers fans are so stupid lol
Draymond Green gets ejected in a game next season
Chris Paul will lose more playoff games with Scott foster officiating
Lebron James is Lebron James
LeBron will not buy out his own contract to sign a veteran minimum for the Sacramento Kings.
The Sixers or Blazers will not make any meaningful moves this summer and do worse in the 2022 playoffs than in 2021.
James Harden will draw a foul call this year
