Predicting 60+ wins if all 3 stay healthy. Don't think there will be huge adjusting period with Westbrook. Lakers basically played with Walmart-Westbrook last season in Schroder. He couldn't shoot either and that didn't stop them from dominating before injuries wrecked the season.
Ppl are not realizing how fukin' special this team will be in transition. It will lead to sooo many layups and dunks in the paint - which is still the most effective shot in the game. This will be very much like Showtime Lakers...transition offense is gonna be one of the best of all time.
Also - AD looks in best shape of his life. Expecting MVP level season from him if he plays at least 60% of his minutes at Center.
Gotta stay healthy - and hopefully these guys will embrace a little bit of load management.

You excited about a preseason game or something? Lakers season doesn't even start until 4/16/2022.

Good luck to your Mercury. Hopefully they can do what those crappy Suns can't.

Still missing Caruso though. Lakers should have kept him.

Greatest player to put on a Bulls jersey. Not even close.

Lakers rookie Austin Reaves was going over some plays on a clipboard with a Lakers assistant after practice and LeBron called him onto the court to join him in getting up more shots. pic.twitter.com/30Vb7zYhcj

What a massive pickup Reeves will be if he can contribute in regular season this year or next as a spot up 3. Lakers scouting department is something else.
