good win for the dubs and lakeshow!!! warriors still not a championship contender imo... lakers on the other hand, has a strong chance.

how do ya feel about this new match up with lebron and luka?? i feel like it's not going to work out.

luka is not a kyrie or d wade or even ad... luka IS a lebron!! meaning that luka is not a 2nd role player on the team, he IS the main captain..

but being with the lakers, that role has been reserved for lebron.... so either lebron take a step back (since his career is coming to an end), or luka takes a step back and at this point in luka's career (prime), i dont think he's willing to be the 2nd role player on the team. someone will have to give in, whether that's lebron or luka.

I always likened Luka to a Slovenian Carmelo.

But it's the same thing really, he's a priority 1 player. I think they'll figure it out. LeBron is what Wade was when they started their Heat team. Next season I will suspect LeBron tell Luka that it is his team now just like Wade did to him

but wade was never a lebron is what i am getting at.. guys like wade and kyrie, these are 2nd role players , even AD is a 2nd role player type when compared to guys like lebron... luka is not a 2nd role player. luka is the main one and so is lebron.. so one of them will have to take a step back and i just cant see luka doing that since luka is in the prime of his career. hope they get it figured out because it's gonna be a wrecking ball once bron and luka start bumping heads..

KD will never win a ring again!!! should have just stayed with the warriors... he received the backlash when he joined the warriors, so might as well just stay. i know he had issue with green but one of the main reason he left was because of all the hate from the fans and media. but he should have just stayed with the warriors. KD aint never been the same since he left.. he played his best and was the most happy when he was with the dubs.

trading for luka looked good on paper but is it really a good trade?? i feel like the lakers will benefit from this trade in the long run (once LBJ retires) IF luka can stay healthy. but damm, without AD, the lakers gonna have a hard time. and phuck the warriors!!! weak ass team!
