25/26 easy
25-26, seasoned Lebron with prime luka easily
The team without D’Lo
The one with AD

25-26
Reaves and D’lo having to guard Luka is much worse than any other matchups.
On paper the Luka team can stretch the floor mad that AD team rui didn’t find his shot yet he’s 3x the player he is now. All depends on of Austin shows up for the Luka team he hasn’t really shown he can play with Luka and Bron he kinda just disappears sometimes he was a lot more confident with Ad and Bron but the way Dlo plays D Luka should avg 50 for the series
25/26 on paper, but we need to see how they play together.
I know Ayton is going to dramatically improve our rebounding. But do we also need Rui to crash the boards, or do LeBron and Luka do enough at their positions to ease up the other bigs rebounding.
Lebron, Rui and Reaves roughly cancel out. I think AD was a better fit for this team b/c of his defense, but Luka is widely seen as a better player; but it doesn’t matter because the gap between even a meh Ayton and D’Lo (esp in the playoffs) is so massive. So, easily this year’s.
This year
How dare you move LeBron to the side and put Luka in the middle. LeBron is still the best player on the team. He will be right there with Luka in scoring, but he will average more rebounds and assists than Luka 💯
Also put the head coaches in the pic.
Dlo is Delu about himself. Luka is going to break his 3pt record this year.
Luka
Moving Bron to the outside corner of the picture is nasty work
no one can guard ad and no one can guard luka, im taking 25-26 lakers just because dlo is trash in the playoffs
IMO, AD at his best is the most impactful player in the league. There are no bigs in the league that do what he does on both ends of the floor. So, I would have to go with whatever team he’s on.
But yeah, that’s if he’s playing at his best.
i havent seen this team play at all. all ik is when the 23 lakers locked in on defense they were able to get stops with AD anchoring it. only problem is luka is hunting the fuck outta dlo & current austin is much better than 23 austin
– less experienced rui and ar
– dlo
+ younger bron amd ad
vs
– older bron
– ad >>> ayton
+ more experienced rui and ar
++ luka
Are you serious?
A team starting Dlo isn’t winning anything.
What is this nonsense?
**Are you talking about the 8th-seed, Ham-coached, squad that lost 1-4 to the Nuggets in the first round?**
We’re wondering how THAT team would stack up against the potential of this upcoming season’s LAL roster?
**I mean, if the newer team isn’t superior in the match-up and just generally overall, then the Lakers org is a complete and utter failure.**
Luka will absolutely abuse the f out of dlo and ar.And on defense he gets to hide on dlo.25/26 easy
Austin Reaves gonna bully Austin Reaves.
We’re gonna miss AD this season, but 25-26 got it cause we’d attack Dlo lol
