LeBron will hit up his steroids/HGH lab in South Florida and continue to play like an MVP-level player.
Seriously though, it wouldn't surprise me to see LeBron continue to play as well as he has the past couple of years, especially with Westbrook taking lots of pressure off of him.
Xmas:
Sixers vs Knicks
Heat vs Bulls
Mavs vs Warriors
Suns vs Bucks
Nets vs Lakers
1. THT ends season as starting SG as he becomes a 38% 3pt shooter and elite defense.
2. Westbrook avg under 20 points but leads league in ast with 12-14 a game and about 8reb
3. Vogel may prefer Ariza over Melo.
4. Kevin Love joins via buyout possiblly takes Gasol min as heโs just too slow for style we play.
5. We finish top 10 in 3pt %
6. All of our big 3 make all NBA Bron 1st team AD 2nd and Westbrook 3rd
7. AD wins DPOY
8. We finish with 56 wins and the 2nd seed
MVP: Steph Curry ( career mark from 3 avg 34 points)
DPOY: Anthony Davis (beast year, having now WB will elevate his game)
6MOY: Alex Caruso jk Victor Oladipo (if healthy but perfect role in Miami)
COY: Mike Malone ( very solid deep team)
MIP: Keldon Johnson (someoneโs gotta score in SA)
ROY: Jalen Green (dude is a freak)

I expect a slow start. There are only returning 4 players from last season. That's a lot of new players to integrate. Also, newly formed big 3's tend to get off to a slow start. It's going to take time for team chemistry to develop. I expect a .500 record for the first month. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold.
I don't think you're factoring in the likelihood of load management for Bron, AD, and possibly Russ. If you factor that in, I say they win 195 games tops.

You guys are hilarious.
This season will be cut to only 82 games played due to covid restrictions.
So the most they can win this year is 82. _________________ ๐๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ #18!!!

By the end of the year....most popular activity of LG will change from Dennis Schroeder trades to Russel Westbrook trades
Are we there yet?
We are there now
Now the reality: There is no GM that is stupid enough to take him. May be if we include the 2027 first and 2028 unprotected pick swap may be
Now that the Brick trading season is in full bloom...time to bring back the bold predictions. The price for trading Brick might drop by 2023 trade deadline. Will the FO have patience to hold on to him till the trade deadline? Will Lebron ask for a trade if Brick is not traded before the season starts?

Itโs Lebronโs decline in health that worries. He was pretty much an iron man but has been hurt 2 of 3 seasons here (and the 3rd season lasted 8 games). Iโm not convinced that playing less minutes results in healthier seasons but some games off would be nice. Though I respect his view that sitting when healthy cheats the fans. I would like to see 72-75 games from him and Westbrook and at least 65 from AD.
Sadly I was in the ballpark _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
