I think it's possible but i"m not expecting it to happen.
Warriors are not unbeatable and the Rockets proved that last season.
Warriors signed DeMarcus Cousins, but it's likely that he may not be a factor next season due to his achilies injury. If this turns out to be the case, then it will improve the Lakers' chances of reaching the NBA finals.
Rockets have taken a step back defensively with Carmelo Anthony.
With all of that being said, Kuzma and Ingram would both have to play at an all-star level for this Laker team to win a championship. They would also have to become a better 3 point shooting team and a better defensive team defensive team.
People are writing the Lakers off because they don't know how good Kuzma and Ingram are going to be this season. They both averaged 20 points a game, then I'm sure their expectations would change dramatically. |

Yes, if Ingram and Kuzma add 4 points to their scoring average, they'd be considered stars, and people would look at this team differently. I believe Hart has shown he's in that same conversation, based on last year and this summer. |

| Golden State is a Great Team but overrated not invincible. Down 3-2 to Houston and CP3 gets hurt, Losing at home to Cleveland in game against Lebron and a bunch of scrubs from the G League. |
