2020 Lakers are the most under appreciated champions of this century.
One of the best duos OAT in LeBron and AD with one of the best group of role players this decade.
Played through a pandemic and still dominated night in, night out.
But I get it, jokes > facts.
@olympicbean 95% of the time they’re together it’s just them hanging out not even talking bout 2016. It’s you and some Bron haters that bring it up more than them
Or or or now hear me out. We understand we can keep AR and do these moves at the same time and also realize to have a team with no other ball handlers is never going to work anymore. Also if we offer Watson 20mil a year why wouldn’t Denver just match the offer
@LakerCentral365 You are proving y’all care more about Austin Reaves getting a contract than the Lakers building a contender… ☕️
Lakers 2026-2027 starters being:
Luka
Smart
Watson
Eason
Ware
would put us in contention overnight.
Imma think about it but it’s a very difficult case…
Rn his resume is
3x All Star
3x All NBA 2nd team
FMVP
Very weird resume
Kinda how I felt when Jaylen Brown won it
Yes they easily can. The 50 million in cap space we see the Lakers have is including a cap hold on AR. So they can
Trade- Kel’el Ware, Herb Jones, Payton Watson
Resign-Bron, Rui, Smart, Jax
All before signing AR because of the cap hold that allows them to go over the salary cap
Question. If the Lakers re-sign Austin Reaves as expected, will they still have enough flexibility to build a legit championship caliber roster, or does that make it much harder to improve the team?

From my understanding teams can make trades from the moment their season ends and it can be agreed and official. The finals teams can only do trades if it’s picks for picks i.e. Indy last finals. Now that the finals are over any team can talk to their FA no signings till July 6th
lol nobody can gaslight me bc I was there I know what I watched. 4th qtr we went away from the triangle and just put the ball in his hands to win games. Shaq became a screener the last 5 mins of the game. Best closer of all time!
