I just saw the BR predictions.. Lakers 48-34? Are they crazy. They have an aging Lebron, an injury prone and an overrated cast of cast aways. Lame  

[Spud2nique]

So theoretically we could end up with picks #1 (Lakers) and #13 (Kings) best case scenario?

Yep.  Lakers have tremendous variability in their outcome.  That 48 win scenario is a repeat of last year when they got extremely healthy seasons from both LeBron and Davis.  It is all about their health.

Just like it's easy to go against Trae, it's hard to go against Lebron. They will trust Bron till they can't no more

I personally trust in LeBron to be highly impactful until I see that he isn't.  It wouldn't surprise me if he retires before that happens.  Dude was 26 / 8 / 7 plus 2 stocks a game last year.  He was one of the best players for the US team this summer.  He is still going to be good....as long as he is healthy enough to play.  Health is the only question I have for this year even though I recognize he keeps getting older.

Stupid Suns, blew a 22 point lead.

[ATLHawks3]

Yeah this pick might be late teens to high twenties. JJ has AD playing like an MVP candidate.

Don’t forget they also have the league’s refs playing for them, too. That’s going to translate into a few extra wins by the end of the season.

Closer and closer to #30.

[ShooterSays]

Kings (0-1) at Lakers (2-0) tonight. 

Big game for the the Hawks lol

[Final_quest]

Lakers being 2-0 is no big deal.  It’s a long season.  We’ll see if they stay healthy.

[NBASupes]

So far, this pick looks wack. But injuries usually happen to Bron and AD at this stage

[Dnice]

Folks can watch all year long for a pick in the teens at best..

[bleachkit]

Too bad that Sac pick didn't convey last year, could have had Knecht.

AD averaging 16 FTA/game so far lol

AD and LeBron are still really good.  Lakers will be a really good team if they are healthy.  It is all about health.  If they go down, the team goes down.

Being that we have their pick, rest assured they will be healthy this year.

Dang Kangs.... smh
