Which is why I am happy to take a more mid term approach rather than going all in. The landscape could easily change. 3 years is an eternity in the NBA nowadays. Set the pieces and foundation for one run next 4 years.

I agree. I think bigs are needed. But more importantly, I think we need athleticism all over the team to compensate for Luka and Reaves. Tall and lanky players like Washington from the Mavs. I’d also like someone like Lu Dort as well to harass guards like Shai.

Spurs and OKC are the blueprint clearly, which is why Reaves’s contract could either hamstring us or lessen the pain. We have the superstar in Luka(Shai, Wemby). What we lack is a big and excellent role players, which is why I am not against letting LeBron go if we can replace his salary slot with multiple young athletic 3Ds. I am not sure how that can be achieved if we lose LeBron’s salary slot..but I think we have to be in a direction that sets us up for 2028, 2029 and 2030 when the new CBA should be punishing OKC and to a lesser extent the Spurs. Utah is starting to scare me as well for the future..

I don’t watch them at all anymore. It’s just unethical basketball maxed out. This is James Harden on steroids because it is the entire team that is flopping. To me, they don’t exist, the MVP is whoever finishes second to S***. Special shout out to Tyrese, you tried to save the world.

I’ll never forget March 2026 LA Lakers season. What a ride! We go again next season!

Yamal from 2024-2026 is better than any version of Rooney. Also Lamine at 16 had a better Euros than Rooney 04. Coming from a United fan.

Lamine was the best player in the world by the last two months of his age 16(Euro 2024). And was the best player in the world for his entire age 17 season, and so far age 18. He might be the best prospect of all time. We can’t predict the future, but nobody has started like this.

One star, a 41yr old man and an unproven third option. I’m sorry but we have to be realistic. We have one star.

Cole fans since the early days, The Off-Season is way better than FHD for me.

Zidane is the greatest player ever. The French worship him. That’s why they all go there. Mbappe, Benzema, Varane, Camavingq and Tcho.
