I think Lakers will win another title. They made it to the conference finals with their new players last year. They had the best record since they acquired those new players. Then they got even better over the off season.

So a full season with a new team of players that had the best record record last year gets to gain a whole season of experience together plus they got even better during the off-season.

How does that not equal the finals and championship?

Especially if AD and Lebron are healthy it’s a wrap

He’s either #1 or 2 in both career regular season AND playoffs WS/48, Box Plus Minus, and PER. He’s the only player in all 3 on both.
