The best NBA team in Los Angeles for the 2019/2020 season ?

With The Clippers adding both Leonard and George to a team that went 48-34. They gave up 2 good young players but the net is a big plusThe Lakers adding Anthony Davis to team with Lebron, this just got real interesting.

I'm going with The Clippers. They were already quite good. Now they've added 2 of the most complete players in The NBA. Both can pretty .much do it all and they are arguably 2 of the top 5 defensive players in the league. The team was the 5th highest scoring team in the league last year, they just tacked on at least a net plus 8 ppg.

Gallinari went to OKC in the Paul George trade

Kasey. my bad, I should have done my research. Gilgeous-Alexander was already a top defender at 20 years old, so they gave up a lot, but they still got considerably better. The only question now is who plays PG.

WCDawg

Geez, now ESPN has removed the details of the trade from their article. They had listed Gilgeous-Alexander along with Gallinari as part f the trade, now there's no mention of it. I should have finished my coffee and given it time to develop.

Patrick Beverly will b the starting PG and the head of a insanely venemous snake. Lou Williams will most capably b the tail of the snake as 1 of the premier players and closers in the league and will team up with Leonard and George to finish off all challengers in crunch time to close games. The Clippers (Health permitting) absolutely should enter next season as CLEAR Title favorites over whatever the Lakers can cobble together around James and Davis.

Still think Clippers will need a pure shooter. Green is going to the lakers so I don’t know who else is out there.

I think some people are forgetting who lebron is when healthy. I love kawhi, he’s become my new favorite player within the last few months. But lebron is still lebron and the lakers aren’t done signing players yet.

Bron is at least = kawhi

AD = PG

Kuz is better than Montrezl

Just signed green and KCP. Maybe getting boogie or rondo too.

Kasey

Lebron ain’t getting any younger. He’s still really good, but he isn’t the same as he was. Lot of tread on those tires

mantis_toboggan69

It’ll never hurt to add more, but I think they already have one in Landry Shamet. Shot 42% from three on 396 attempts last year.

The Clippers as we sit here today again, r CLEAR Title favorites for obvious reasons. To me Kawhi and LeBron r basically a wash. Anthony Davis is better than Paul George but not by a landslide. George is a top 10 player in this league. The Clippers also have a super charged supporting cast surrounding those 2 led by Lou Williams, Patrick Beverly, Moe Harkless and Montrez Harrell. I love LeBron and he and K.A.J. r the 2 best players to ever live but the Clippers may have just slammed shut his Championship window for good. Sorry Laker fans. 😎😎😎

Mantis. The only team that shot 3 pointers at a higher rate than either George or Leonard this past season was GS. Both are slight net pluses on 3pt shots and both are really good mid-range shooters, which Leonard proved is still a big asset in the playoffs.

MeR3htid

Glad to see you agree. 😂😂😂

Lakers just signed Boogie!!! Man this is getting good!!! Lakers exceptionally deep in top end role players to support LeBron and AD. Javale McGee, Boogie Cousins, Kentavious Caldwell Pope, Kyle Kuzma, Quinn Cook, Danny Green and I have no idea how they'll fill out the rest of roster with or who's available but a combo guard who can hit 3s and capably defend both backcourt positions would b my guess. Lakers my new favorite all of a sudden. Stay tuned.

Thelordjohnson

Anthony Davis is guaranteed to get hurt so I dont really put him in biggest difference maker category. Boogie I think can bounce back. But Kawhi and George together (bet Indiana regrets trading Kawhi away) add in Pat Bev, Lou Will perennial 6th man, Shemet coming off a good rookie year... Then the big center Lakers gave away and Harrell clean up good.

MeR3htid

It's too late for me to change my vote here but I gotta go with the Lakers here in light of the Boogie signing which hadn't yet happened when WC started this thread but a Hungry motivated Boogie headlining a second unit with "DGD" Kentavious Caldwell Pope, Quin Cook and whoever else they can pickup off the scrap heap should b enough to push the Lakers over the top.

WCDawg

Cousins may or may not be healthy at some point next season. That's why The Lakers got him for 3.5 million. They took a flyer n him.
