And playoffs... hopefully. I think the backup plan to AD is BI and picks/Mo type assets for a middling star on a bad team. Unless we sign a Max FA. |
Playoffs? |
Do you even want the Lakers to make the playoffs?  |

Nope. Just watched us lose to the Hawks and understand that we need to go 23-2 across their next 25 games for 52 wins or 19-6 across their next 25 to win 47 games.
We'll need to be playing at a much higher level if we want to get that done. We are 3-7 in our last 10 and 5-10 in our last 15.
And since LeBron's return we're 2-4 in those 6 games, but whats worse 1-4 in the last 5 which is a worse streak to be on.
The Lakers would have to turn that around drastically to go 23-2 or 19-6 the rest of the way, and with games against the Rockets, Bucks, Nuggets, Celtics, Raptors, Thunder, Warriors where we'd have to win at the very least one of those games and even at that bare minimum we'd from then to now have to win every other game we have for the rest of the season to go 19-6.
At the level our team has been playing as of late, I'm skeptical to say the least. We'll see what happens.

LeBron is going to have to kick it into another gear and hope for no more injuries the rest of the way. Ya, we need a miracle |

What is the point of making the playoffs? We know we are going to get bounced, we are trading these young guys anyways so getting them playoff experience will be nice for another team.....why not shut down LeBron and get a lottery pick?

IF our young guys do get traded away. We'd presumably get more value for them if they play well in the playoffs. Similar to what happened to Rozier, Brown, and Tatum's value after last post season.

Tatum essentially got an entire franchise to hesitate in trading their superstar for a chance to get him because he had a nice playoffs last year lol |

It is not just about LBJ though. It is also about how do we get all the players engaged into the game. |

"What's the point of making the playoffs?"
Jesus Christ, those 4 years of tanking did some irreversible mental damage to some Lakers fans

4 games in playoff will tell you more about some guys than 30 games in regular season. PO is when real basketball comes and real players can show what they can do. Regular season is just crap from almost every stand point. So making playoffs is if nothing great school for our young guys. |

Just today I read an article about the worst games of MJ  
The numbers in those games were mostly like 15/6/7 (partially 50% FT)
Those are numbers we would cheer for BI having them
has the NBA really become that worse?

Comparing BI to the GOAT and then using that comparison to say the NBA has become worse. 😂 Ridiculous |

Oh you're okay with a 2nd pick playing like MJ in his worst games? MJs worst games were really bad games, even though he was the GOAT
It was just my thoughts when reading . No complaints

That's flawed logic.

they had a run to the conference finals that gave them plenty games to show case their stuff. A 4 game sweep from the Warriors cannot be compared at all.

BI is an anomaly wrapped in a paradox. I don't quite understand what he's trying to become because he's not excelling at one thing consistently.
He's got handles for his size, floor vision, decent short-range game. But in today's NBA he's got to stretch the floor for the previous things mentioned to work. |

This AND if we aren't going to trade them the playoff experience is highly valuable down the road for them. Making the playoffs is a must this season. We can't end 9th or 10 which is a terrible spot to be in. |

It's not much of a mystery. Like Ball, he's pretty much a consistent 3 ball away from becoming a bona fide all star. I'm impressed with BI's progress the last 3 years considering everything he's been asked to do. |

He drives, finds the seams between defenders, mid range pull ups, occasional 3s |
