Time to talk about next season.

No doubt that Lebron will be back. No way he isn't playing at least season #23.

Luka was a great addition, but the real need is for a big. Would have been interesting to see how Mark Williams would have fit in had the Dalton Knecht trade gone through.

Tons of rumors about Giannis coming to L.A., but how much would it cost and change our roster to give up players to get him here? Does he even want out of Milwaukee?

I really like a lot of the other (young) players on the roster like Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, Dalton Knecht, Jaxon Hayes, and Jared Vanderbilt. The rest of the roster needs some tinkering still. Just glad we have more of a youth movement than a few years ago when everyone was old on the team.

All of these years later I still don't understand why we let Julius Randle just walk away as a free agent.

@Brian in Mesa

Are you sure the Lakers got the right Luka? I think the Mavericks made a big mistake.

Lakers fans already sick of Ayton, even Shaq was ripping him on the NBA show last night. Really bad mistake trying to go with him as a legitimate big man. He's a joke.

Poster formerly known as as abomb says it has been one game. Agrees with Luka’s statement they need to feed Ayton more.
