People are so reactionary, they made the WCF last year with a dog s**t roster.
No reason they can not build a contender around Luka in the next 2-3 years.

They made a horrendous decision with Brunson
Dog s**t may be harsh but it was bad
Don't tell me they can not build a similar level roster over a couple years.
People were claiming he wasn't playable in the play offs after the 2021 play offs. In hindsight they should have extended him early in the 2022 season but you can see why they were hesitant. After that it was clear he had his mind set on joining the Knicks and nothing was changing that.

If I ever wanted the Suns to lose a game this season, I wouldn't mind if it was tomorrow vs OKC.

Jokic is giving up 12.9 points, Embiid is giving up 10.0 points.
Well his two best teammates from last year this year... one a borderline all star, another averaging 23/8 this year. Those two and Luka would be up there with the top handful of top 3s. Then Dinwiddie and Hardaway are solid 4th and 5th options.
Bit misleading because Brunson has improved each year, was good but not this level last year.
Also you can’t count both Krisraps and Dinwiddie as he only had one at any given time. Hardaway was injured for the bulk of last year including the entire run.
That supporting cast is nothing compared to what Tatum has or Giannis or the Warriors had or the Suns or the Grizzlies even.
That team was extremely too heavy and was carried by Luka. I don’t buy that they can’t put a supporting cast around him that can contend in the next 24 months.

Lakers go 4-1 to finish the season and they dodge the play in
Rockets, Utah, Clippers, Suns and Utah
They should be winning 4 games there

this is the lakers youre talking about
Sure but my main point was that Luka dragged Brunson and Dinwiddie to the conference finals as the two best players on a team.
If he can do that i don't accept that they need to trade Luka as they have no other way to contend.

Clippers/Lakers in game 80 will in all probability decide it.
If the Clips win that, they have a banker against Portland to follow, gives them 43 wins. Tough last game in Phoenix on paper, but the Suns might be in a position to rest players by then. Can't see the Suns or Dubs winning less than 43 either. We've got four tough-ish games to finish, so we'll do well to even make 43.
Will be interesting to see how the LA derby is officiated, accordingly.
You high?
