    They're going to be capped out and will have a roster full of G-League fodder after their big three.

    The counter is simple: build an elite second unit. We're pretty close -- bring back Kanter and trade for Joe Harris and this bench could be gnarly, especially if Anfernee breaks out.

    What say you?

    Having an elite second unit doesn’t win championships.

    I think they will get good players to sign cheap to form a super team

    It will help us get extra wins in regular season but before playoffs come they will get 2-3 very good buyout players and will have an extremely good 7-8 man rotation for the playoffs which matters more.

    Lake Oswego High School Lakers, I would think.

    If there were ever a school in need of a change of team names, this would top my list. Such a filthy name.

    Of course not they are too egocentric and egotistical to be either self aware or outward looking, or consider the possibility that any other team is a threat to their perceived birthright and imagined manifest destiny.

    OIW: Those entitled shit brains think their shit don't stink.
