    LeBron has lost some of his luster. To be in 8 Finals in a row from the East but come to the West and currently be 11th and may finish even worse. The East has been the lesser conference for years but that is a HUGE difference.

    I don't know if he's lost any of his luster as much as father time is catching up with him AND that his insane ability masked his arrogance on the court.

    I mean shit, he's played basically in 19 full seasons in the nba (counting playoffs). Not that he hasn't brought this on himself though.

    Didnt they get kind of lucky in that they owed a pick they didnt have to pay? Theyve had a few #2’s.

    Kinda scary what Ingram is going through. Along the thing that put Bosh into retirement.

    Would a team with bird magic or Jordan miss the playoffs? I think not.

    Since when have things broken the Lakers way recently? They have been in the lottery for the last 6 years and haven't won it.

    LeBron and Tim Duncan are the most overrated players in the modern era.

    Not really much i can say when someone thinks Duncan and LeBron are overrated? Exactly how many chips between the two?

    I'm just sick of the conspiracy theories when if it was set up to give them the 1st pick why didn't they get it the Julius Randle year or any year after?

    Yes the Blazers play them one more time and at the end of the season so it could very well be important.

    Because the NBA is making it look like they don't play favorites.

    But we all know they do.

    Ok I dont believe this, but a guy I used to work with was a Laker a fan and he thought the NBA really didnt like Jim Buss and was trying to make them suck so he wouldnt be the “face” of the Lakers. He thought that when Magic took over the NBA would be head over heels about that and their “luck” would be much better.
    Again I dont really believe it, but it was weird hearing that from a Laker fan.
