    Do you think Lebron may end up with the lakers next season (after this upcoming one) like some of these sports shows been saying? Or maybe it depends on how the young guys play together. It seems Lebron likes what the lakers are doing.

    Yeah I'd give it like a 30% chance, maybe even a little more. He would love playing with a passer like Lonzo, it'd take some of the load off him and the playmaking Bron usually has to do.

    He was already checking him out in summer league and posted bout him on instagram, Bron loves sending subtle little hints like this it seems. Whether or not the Lakers make the playoffs they need to play well and continue to develop. I expect break out years from Randle and Ingram cuz Ingram already improved big time last year and Randle is in amazing shape and has been working out like a mad man.


    Either way I think he's leaving Cleveland almost for sure.

    Lakers also have room for 2 max guys next year and we all know Bron would love to choose someone like PG or whoever to go there with him.

    Lakers are a very real possibility for Bron.

    That defense is gonna be f---ing insane. Sefolosha, Mitchell, and Rubio are all great defenders. They aren't gonna score s--- though. Watch out for Rodney Hood imo. Could turn into a 20ppg guy.

    As for my predictions... hmmmmm......

    - Dion Waiters stays healthy and scores 20ppg and makes the all-star team
    - Kevin Love gets traded before the deadline, Cavs still make the Finals but lose
    - Lakers definitely don't make the playoffs in the loaded west
    - Rookie class will live up to the hype -- the best since '03
    - Melo is a Rocket sooner rather than later
    - Derrick Rose gets injured
    - Lonzo Ball wins ROY


    I have a paper to type so I'm gonna go focus on that, but I'll make sure to post some more that come to mind.

    Frank Vogel will get fired during the season.

    Mario Hezonja will break out.

    Ben Simmons ROTY despite 3 or 4 others with a more impressive stat line

    Clippers miss playoffs, Pelicans and Kings will get 7th and 8th seed.

    Rondo's back

    T'Wolves dont improve.

    Embiid stays healthy

    Man I don't know how that'd be possible unless they have 2-3 serious injuries at once or something.

    They were a bottom 6 or 7 team in the league last year, should easily make the playoffs this year.

    There's too much clash in Jimmy Butlers and Andrew Wiggins game tbh, I guess I forgot about Jeff Teague. I found their bench to be terrible and they are in a very competitive conference. They will be competing with the Clippers, Pelicans, Kings, Nuggets and Lakers for a playoff spot.
