Lakers
Russel Westbrook
DeMarcus Cousins
Brandon Ingram
To go along with Clarkson,Randle, Nance Jr, DeAngelo Russell as role players.
I think Deangelo be a solid 6th man.

Now to the chumps who thought just two days ago the Lakers are going suck and brand means nothing.. Just wait you idiots. They will build a top team in LA to battle GSW

Yeah, Westbrook and Cousins would gel sooooooo well together and Ingram is NBA-ready.

I agree but adding Bosh to the equation narrows that field. Durant pulled a LeBron. He just did it better.

It's not that different.

Lebron wasn't the second best player ever, though. Durant is.
 
I'm of the mind of getting another legit strong and long 4 who can defend. Maybe Bolomboy is that guy. Not sure. But OKC showed that playing big and being rough with the Dubs can work.
 
Need guys that can bludgeon them when they go small... Offensive rebounds and post play. Problem is there aren't many of those guys and none of them can guard KD or green.

No way.

Curry > Westbrook
Durant >>>>>>>> Hayward
Green > Love
Thompson = Cousins

yeah, not close

Ha ha. You do realize that Cousins is the best big man and it's not close. He may be a top 3 player if he was ever motivated. And Westbrook vs Curry. I'll take Westbrook's defense over 7 games.

Green is a nice player, but take him off GS and put him on NO and no one remembers him in two years.

Thompson is great when he is on, but when he's off, he's useless.

That's what Thompson did to them too. I think we are as well equipped to play the Warriors as any team... We still get swept but... I got nothing else

Thompson when he's doing nothing but spotting up still has one of the strongest defensive gravities of any player in the league. Same with Curry. Same with Durant. That's really what this is about and what makes this so seismic.

I think there is a big difference.

He joined an established core that has already won a ring. Lebron joined a Heat team that was past it's good years and added Bosh (who also wasnt winning much).

I think the biggest thing people have a problem with is that the Thunder where up 3-1 on the Warriors and Durant choked teh series away in the clutch minutes of game 6. Now he is going to join the team that he lost to.

Yeah, even if one of their 4 main guys has their game "neutered" to an extent, they will still be incredibly dangerous shooters.
 
GSW will be something to behold this upcoming season. If they all stay healthy, we're looking at another best season record two seasons in a row.

That's my issue... He joined a team that was already the favorite to win and was historically good. I didn't like the Lebron heat either though. I just miss the old NBA where teams grew together. I know that one guy can't win it alone though... MJs supporting cast was amazing. I just liked all the rivalries forming over years of head to head match ups.
 
The team will be thin though so they will need to stay healthy. I wonder what they will do to get a big in there. Ezeli and Bogut will be gone. If gasol goes there I may boycott the NBA for a year.

Well, the only bright side to this we'll have a better 1st rd pick from it in 2018. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

U mean we will have a second round pick... This actually affected both of our first rounders negatively... The 2017 GSW and 2018 OKC lotto protected pick

Last paragraph is the best comment I've seen yet on this move.
 
Word. Durant didn't have to do this, he just had to close out that series. Seriously weak.
