aight so somebody 'splain to me how the lakers are gonna win 55 games this year if they go for a max guy with this cap room...they'd have LeBron, AD, kuzma, 'max guy', and a bunch of minimum salary guys...again those guys just aren't gonna play more than 70 games...I just don't see them winning 55 games with that kinda construct....
The max guy would need to be like Kawhi. Some variation of 2 of Lebron/Kawhi/AD playing 60-65 games each would be enough to have one sit and Kuzma and a few old ring chasers could probably get to 55. I don’t think AD/LB/some Kyrie or Kemba or Horford type could top 50. It’s all about the playoffs though. They need like six dude who can play. The three max guys, Kuzma, and then you need to get lucky and find two or three more guys who can at least hit open shots. It will basically be a bought out Korver type. If they don’t get Kawhi, AD is going to need to be defensive player of the year to cover for any other non- Kawhi variation as they’ll be a horrible defensive team.
yeah i think youre right on this assessment...it has to be a kawhi for them to really have a chance of going off in the regular season...kemba supposedly told charlotte he's going to boston (BTW very excited for this...kyrie is a better player, but id much rather have kemba who isn't gonna be fucking AIDS in the locker room)…

gotta fade 55-27...3 teams did better than that last year...MLW, TOR, GS...you look at the west, GS is gonna be a lot worse...LAC could be a lot better...MEM will probably be worse...NO/DAL should be a decent amount better...I think im pretty much washing that conference overall toughness Y/Y...you are 100% right about the playoff thing, that's all that matters to LAL...you know lebron aint bearing down any more on D in the regular season...injuries not withstanding they'll probably be 50+wins...I still like my side...

but the logjam this year is pretty fucking nuts...
