2025 NBA Season

[Ewinsane]

I highly doubt Lakers will get rid of neither Ingram nor Kuzma , not even Lonzo. That is the main core for this team when all is said and done. Spend few years with Lebron so Lonzo-Hart-Ingram-Kuzma can be great threat in the future, think about it, 4 years with Lebron and rondo in this league and with lance as well to teach different type of stuff, these kids can improve so much it would be crazy.

After 4 years of learning and experiencing, either they will be great meanwhile or afterwards. Lakers will pay all they can afford and go above luxury tax if they have to keep those kids. They will be amazing after they learn and play from the best. You want to look at the young kids from Cavs ?

Sure check out Cedi osman, Lebron made sure he practiced with him, kd and Kawhi during off season.

Rondo will be a great addition to the Lakers.  He has been one of the most underrated NBA players of the last 10 years. His contribution to the 2008 celtic's championship run often gets overlooked because of the big three.  This guy is a triple double machine and he provides great defense.  His downfall has always been his outside shooting but with his current team, he has others to carry the offensive load.

I believe that.
He had that kind of skill of a real pointguard unlike others who do scores a lot.

I know the pre-season was just like a tune up game to them but you can see there how Rondo really plays. He is a passer and there is no doubt about that.
The good thing here is he have good catchers all over the floor. Lebron could catch anywhere and McGee with high passes.

Even with LeBron James, the Lakers will miss the NBA playoffs this season. Here’s why.

All I can say is, the pointers are good and have an interesting details.

HOWEVER.. it's really early to say that. The article pointed out that Warriors, Rockets, Jazz, OKC and Spurs seems to be the top 4 and Lakers, Nuggets, Pelicans, Timberwolves, Blazers and Clippers will be fighting each other at last 3 slot (top 6 to . How sure they was these teams will maintained the position? I mean they only based this standings from the last season's record which is not a good basis for now since some teams did some revamp to their respective lineup.

But honestly it's not really surprisingly for me if Lakers will end up out on the playoffs. LeBron landed on a team that is not even a finals contender so I don't really understand why people are all eyes in Lakers and they really spend time to work on an article like that. Looks like those who are saying that Lakers will not be able to stand strong on the West are really considering Lakers as a threat.

Now that Bron is gone, he'll definitely get more time in. Really looking forward to seeing this guy put on a show

Kyrie just said that next year he plans to re-sign with Celtics. Boston nation must be ecstatic now.

I mean it's not 100%, done deal, the season is long and a lot of things can change but still...my condolences to Knicks fans.

I swear, I'll hang myself if I hear one more time that Rondo is a good passer. Water is wet geniuses...

Who's watching now Q3 of Lakers vs Sacramento Kings? No hate with any of the team or with our superstars.

I just want to share that it still gives me a strange feeling watching Lebron with that jersey.  

Well, I'll get used to it soon.

It is weird at first but I guess you people should be used to it. As his fans, you should also support his decions and actions also, you can't do anything about it really.

Also, I am surprised to the jersey of them when I first watched their first game. I agree it is like a vintage jersey as said on the earlier posts here. It kinds of bring me back to the old Lakers I grow old to. Missing Shaq and Kobe together at that team and at the same court.

I'm not really arguing with his decision but I'm just having this type of feeling since we used to watch him play with his old jersey for a very long time. Yeah, I'll get used to it whenever there's a new game from him and my eyes would realize that its him wearing new jersey until his contract ends or would extend with LAL.

This match is a serious game, the scores now are so close to each other. Last 1 min.

Okay that made me laugh a little.
Are they really following all the trades that had happened?

You are right. They are basing on what happened last year. Why not Lakers and yet Spurs and will be there? They lose Kawhi too and ended up getting DeRozan who made a lot of errors in the playoffs.
They did not even look at Pelicans who might have lost Rondo but they still have Davis. How about Dallas too?

They are just doing it for something to write without real basis.
That is Lebron James in there. The Lebron James whom I think is not aging.  

Are they basing at pre-season games?  That will be a good joke though.

I've used to be a fan of the NBA but not anymore.  The league is filled with entitled crybabies that make  over 10mil per year.  They go out and buy rolls royce cars and mansions while their own city has homeless people.

LeBron James is really a big deal that even he is on a *"weaker"* team now, they are still on hot seat. Enough of LeBron and put some other spices in their writings. Again people are not really expecting for Lakers to be in finals but still they it's like they considering it as a threat because of LeBron.

What do you want? Players should give every people houses? Didn't you know that majority of NBA players are donating to charity and even have some own charity. There is also a NBA CARES wherein the organization is doing some outreach for general causes.

Yay, we lost a valuable NBA fan Lol cry me a river. I didn't get why though ...because they're making a lot of money; they choose to spend the money the way they want, or because there are poor/homeless people in the world?

I'm genuinely interested to know who are those 'entitled crybabies' you are talking about. haha

I would also argue that NBA players from all pro sports in America are among those who give the most back to their communities.

Its not their responsibility to feed the homeless people. They worked hard for what they have achieved. I remember there are number of NBA players who has been abandoned by their family, came from the poor family, and others cant even afford college without scholarships.
Are you not informed that NBA has charity, including individual NBA superstars have it. But, they cannot cover all the homeless people from their country.
If you dont like NBA anymore, then you are not forced to like it. NBA is a business after all.

I really don't get your point here.

Are you saying that NBA players need to help or feed homeless people in their city? I'm sure that some of them are doing some great things in their community and it was not reported.

But for me its not a obligation though, we don't care if they bought expensive cars because they can afford it. You can go and email Bill Gates and Warren Buffet as well and tell them to feed everyone with their billions. Your argument is totally flawed, just saying.

It's their money so they are entitled to whatever they want to purchase.

They've worked hard for it so what's the matter if they are buying rolls royce, lambo's or any luxury that they want? this is why most of the athlete's are investing through hard training so they can make easy money with their chosen sport. And same goes for NBA athlete's, their trainings and the hole that they entered before reaching that salary isn't an easy thing. Fame, fortune, follows due to the hard work and result of the training and performance.

It's a human nature actually, we change our way of living depending on what we earn.
We are not all born rich so we want to experience the power of money when we have it by doing everything we want, you are right, they work
for it so they deserve to enjoy the reward.

One of the best jobs here in this world is being a professional Athlete. You are having fun at the same time you are being paid as long as you will be giving a great performance in your team.

They deserve what they have. They sacrificed a lot of things so that they would be able to attain what they had now. Also, if you don't know there are a lot of Athletes that help poor people, NBA has NBA Cares and if you don't know that well, at least you know now. NBA created a lot of outreach programs, not only them, even players, from a lot of places now so I think they really deserved what they have now.

Exactly you are being paid and at the same time enjoy the lots of benefits specially if you are a something special or you are above the rest. I'm sure that a lot of athletes knows how to get back at the people who help them achieved what they're right now so I have no doubts that they are really giving a lot of help to those people or even the whole community itself, they aren't selfish its not the question on how they're going to help.

That's how great this league was able to deliver, they are just silently doing charities including superstars individually, though it's not that much out from their respective salaries aside from those sponsors and commercials, they do deserve what they've got as it is not that easy to be selected and able to play from this league, a lots of inspiring individuals who wanted to played but only few who got the chance and enjoy the success.

It is their salary so they can buy what they want and what do you mean in "Entitled Crybabies" They have worked hard for it practicing every day, being far away from their family for the training. Spending their time playing basketball and nobody will prohibit them into what they will do with their own money. One more there is NBA CARE that they are going into various places seeing children and helping them.
