A couple of questions: First, do we need a Lakers thread? Yes, because it is the Lakers and their relevance is unquestioned.
Second, should that thread be started by a knowledgeable and dedicated Lakers fan, and should we respect the usual SoSH decorum of not stomping all over a thread dedicated to a rival team? No, because it is the Lakers.
I will leave the finer points of roster management and X's and O's to our resident experts. For now, I am focused on the most pressing headlines from LakerLand:
1) LeBron James turns 40 the December. Have we ever seen anyone that age still able to whine about calls at such a high level?
2) Will the Lakers outmaneuver the Suns to get Bronny and if they do why isn't he getting any minutes?
3) Can the Lakers emerge from the play-in tournament for a record third straight year, and if they do shouldn't that count as some sort of title?
4) From a distance I really like JJ Redick and he sure seems to know a lot about basketball. I feel the same way about some posters here and wonder if they will get interviews with the Lakers once Redick is fired.
5) How is it possible that the Lakers are +2000 to win the Western Conference when they have two of the very best players in the world and are poised to add another superstar, probably, so I'm told.
