School holidays are here.
Love the mix of first and last names.
GSW still the team to beat.
Good luck winning a championship with Lonzo Ball as your point guard.

That's not a team to beat the warriors. You’ll need traitor kawhi for that

You think LA will sit with this roster you're dreaming. Lonzo, Randle, Hart all on the trading block. Boogie Cousins, Clint Capela, Kawahi all strong possibilities. Also look for Melo to reach a buyout with OKC and look to join a real contender.
Today is just the start. LeBron wouldn’t have signed if he was the only Superstar joining the Lakers. Obviously Golden State still the team to beat but it will be a lot more interesting now.

Boogie is eating burgers and history says he will be a shell of his former self when he returns.
Capela got played off the floor at times against GSW and while good in the regular season he ain't a max guy so hopefully LA don't over pay for him.
Lakers will have to give up plenty to get Kwahi including many of the young players mentioned above otherwise expect he'll get traded to an embolden team that just witness the PG reverse course...small markets will take note of this as its the only way they can get All-Stars in the door and at least get free agent meeting/audition.
Javale & Stephson aren't great ad LA just bid against themselves on KCP and paid him $12mil....which is way overs in the current market
Rockets can match any offer sheet for Capela and will likely do so given they will feel they were robbed this season with Paul's injury.
Cousins a possibility but let's not forget he's never been a good contributor to a good team (NO better without him last season).
Kawhi a possibility but will cost them the more promising of the current supporting cast.
Feel free to add Melo, everyone is just terrified of what he brings to the table these days. Would love to see him and McGee trying to play defence together. Some Shaqtin a Fool highlights coming up there for sure.

Yeah ok Boogie only averaged 25 & 12 on a team that runs through Anthony Davis.
I'm sure he is eating Burgers right now.
Lol
House will Match any OFFER for the restricted free agent in Capela
