The nba really sucks. Stay with a team and built with love instead of building a “dream team” with names and money. Look at Brooklyn (choke), Clippers (choke), Lakers (choke). Dallas looks good, Utah, Trailblazers. NO loyalty at all. Phoenix can do it again, just work hard like the Spurs did.

Yeah the spire got lucky with all their picks and players. There never was any loyalty in the NBA to begin with. Stop it now.

Bro all of those teams were injured, what you mean “choke”?

People forget the Warriors dominated Lebron. Curry, Thompson, and Draymond. Potential to add a huge piece with the picks and James Wiseman along with Wiggins to make salaries work with superstars. A great bench too with Looney, Poole and Paschall plus the FA who will sign for cheap to play with Curry.

Stop it they only dominated when they had KD .
Jblaze phamtasmo
July 22, 2021 at 4:37 pm
Yeah because of significant injuries in 2015 and Kevin “the snake” Durant 😑
Austin Quezada
July 22, 2021 at 4:47 pm
Have they dominated Lebron and AD together?
ozymandias
July 22, 2021 at 5:00 pm
They dominated when they had 4 all stars vs 2

@Derrick kennedy You act like they didnt beat Lebron in 2015. Before you say all the bs about injuries, without Draymond suspension Warriors win that series.

Love how the Bucks just won the championship and L Take goes immediately to talking more about the Lakers.

If Bucks taught us anything, building a team through draft picks and getting role players like Middleton, Holiday, Lopez, Portis, Tucker Jr, and Connaughton from trades/free agency gets appraisal. LeBron must need one or two top 5 draft picks from a few draft classes to win himself a title.

Molly meant losing a best of seven series after leading by 2-0

CP3, AD and LBJ on the same team? Imagine the flopping and the theatrics on a nightly basis!

No CP3 wouldn’t. Fam Reality is him lebron are Old. Can’t compete with these younger teams. Leave your hearts out of this and focus on winning.

July 22, 2021 at 4:56 pm
Yall trying to tell me that 2 Almost 40yrs old players will dominate these younger teams?? Are you kidding me. They dang near got swept in the 1st round as it is.

Didn’t he say the Lakers should get Westbrook instead of CP3?
Tru Gambit

With his contract yea that’s not happening

July 22, 2021 at 7:35 pm
Well I would if I’m rebuilding. What good is it having a 30+ year old top 10 player and your wasting his talents. get them picks and hope you get lucky. Not winning anyway😂

Cp3 and AD are injury prone and lebron and cp3 are getting older and past there prime.

July 22, 2021 at 5:30 pm
None of those guys putting them over the Nets it we’re being honest, especially if they keep guys like Bruce brown

July 22, 2021 at 5:32 pm
I’ll could take either one both hungry for that ring Westbrook would be deadly playing in his home town and stop saying Oakland Warriors in San Fran now he might as well play for Lakers lol..
Brad PITT
July 22, 2021 at 6:30 pm
I would take Russ simply because bron could mold him all season
james brown
July 22, 2021 at 6:31 pm
if the lakers are healthy they are still the number 1 option without chris paul and with chris paul the are above and beyond
Sed Said
July 22, 2021 at 7:24 pm
Not only will AD be hurt by the playoffs, Chris Paul will choke in the finals again so why would they be the favorites
Gareth Holland

CP3 joining the Lakers would be a bad move. Same for Lillard jumping ship to one of these so called desperate superteams.
So many championships are tainted by these glory boys. Stop ruining the game
First Last

The real answer isn’t CP3 or Westbrook. It’s Kyle Lowry + a good shooter, who together could still be cheaper than either CP3 or Russ.

Y’all want cp3 to go Lakers so bad 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
