#STACKED

#2 overall pick D'Angelo Russell

All-Rookie Jordan Clarkson

Savvy veteran Brandon Bass

2x All-Star and defensive beast Roy Hibbert

Sixth Man of the Year Lou Williams

Coach Byron Scott (dragged the Nyets to two Finals)

How much more help does Kirby need? He'd better ring with this shiiiiiiiit.

[baseline bum]

A failure was losing to the en Clipps in the first round of the playoffs with all of your best players healthy as defending champions. But that's besides the point. We know Pop can't coach a repeat championship team.

Y'all loaded, battle tested, with championship pedigree. If some team outside of the 210 rang, I ain't letting that slide. Stop making excuses and get er done.

What a got, taking the field in a season where the Warriors and Cavs are similarly stacked.

These Spurs will. Your core been together a en decade. 2004 Lakers were put together over the summer. Big dif.

Win it all, or this thread will be legendary.

Exactly huevos rancheros. You had Shaq and Rapist in their prime, a loaded roster beyond the salary cap and Stern's protection. And you still blew it. Our big 3 are obviously not in their prime. Your 2013 was also loaded as , not to mention Stern pulling out all the stops to get you guys in the playoffs over the Jazz.

[SupremeGuy]

But lolakerfan has been telling me that they're the ones that won the off-season?

[Clipper Nation]

Damn, I actually forgot to mention the second coming of Kareem (with some Shaq to his game) - Robert Olajuwon Upshaw! Christ, how do the Lakers keep stacking up their rosters like this? The league needs to put a stop to this in the name of parity.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

TBD tbh. Not worried here. No expectations until the young guns mature. Y'all farmers should be worried though.

Exactly. You have already given up. As for me, I'm fine with anticipation. Have fun baiting the weak minded.

Shaq
Malone
Fox
Kobe
Payton

This has to be it right here. That team was super hyped up and Kobe/Shaq were still in their prime.

Really? ESPN had them as losers in the off season just a few days ago, are they delusional?

Check out all of the lakers threads in the NBA forum, tbh.

The lolakers won the off-season, how could you miss that?

I chose to believe nobody could be that dumb besides a troll.... I know who made one of those threads and dude is a horrible poster to say the least so I paid it no mind. If they really believe that they are the opposite of reality.

I agree with you there man, still the hype going in there was huge.

Ill be the first to admit that one was of the most hyped if not the most hyped team since I've been watching ball, we got whipped badly, but credit to Detroit they ed us up that year, tough to swallow still.

How could somebody miss the Upshaw is better than Karl Anthony Towns thread...or the Russell "busting up" CP3 thread.

Lakers are staaaaaaaaaaaacked.

Detroit clicked at the right time man, they were playing on a level in those finals where few teams could have beaten them TBH. I doubt if the Spurs make the finals that year they beat that team either, they weren't going to be stopped IMO.

Defense my nig, that's how they did it.

Christ, this Forum finally released and I can post with ease. WTF was that all about? I'm so give out now it's almost couch time.

Now it's back to the choppy .

Nite all.

[midnightpulp]

No. There's still Parker to worry about and Duncan's age. Roster is nice, but not invincible. The Warriors and healthy Cavs are equally as good on paper.

Now if the Lakers don't at least capture a playoff spot with Hibbert (I'm told he has 22-10-4 potential), Randle (Charles Barkley 2.0), Mamba, Clarkson (all rookie 1st team), and Russell (the heir to Russell Westbrook but with better court vision), plus a stacked bench featuring Brandon Bass, Lou Williams (6th man of the year), and Swaggy, then it's probably one of the biggest failures in NBA history.

[dg7md]

Weak troll attempt is weak.

Kyle Anderson on the "biggest failure of NBA history" roster.

Of recent memory, bigger failures were the 2004 Lakers and 2011 Miami Heat, our roster (that is if we don't ring), doesn't make us a superteam. We're just loaded with elite players with great chemistry, we don't have a lot of all-stars haphazardly put together into a franchise.

It's far more likely that, if healthy, the Cavs not winning the championship will go down as one of the biggest failures as they have the best roster on paper of the entire NBA.

Given up? By your logic when "MVPAU" and D12 left, I should have logged off ST for good because I'm a bandwagon fan. I didn't give up. SMH

1st off, -15 points for trolling us with LG takes.
2nd, y'all en stacked and you know it

Anything less than a chip this year is damning to Jim's legacy.

[Pelicans78]

The Heat losing to the Mavs was a colossal failure.

Adding a good but not very good/great player in LMA shouldn't make the Spurs an instant favorite to win it all. They'll start to get annoyed with his scoring 25 points on 24 shots especially shooting so many jumpers. Dude's a flake when it comes to big men.

I still like thatthat loaded Celtics team because of the bench. And possibly the beefy Lakers front line in the late 2000s.

Am I wrong?

The Pistons had a very good bench as well, but yeah those teams you mentioned would have been alot tougher opponents.
