We can't really compare them, different era of playing and the game style has evolved so much that a player with AD's caliber is really something special. Now team that with Lebron in Lakers then instant championship.

I agree that AD is the big difference, he takes the load of Lebron shoulder to do the scoring of his own and hitting clutch if needed. Pau has his days with the Lakers team, of course as the second option behind Kobe. Will AD can become the first option if needed.

I know! They are probably the Sixers 2.0 with the "Trust the Process".

Beats me. Maybe they are trying their luck to have a young Durant-Westbrook-Harden type of line up again. One thing I understand is that they do not have a plan to win the title or be in the playoffs next season with all these shuffling and reshuffling of players.

You can definitely go back even furhter and say magic and kareem is definitely something Lebron and AD can be compared to.

I understand that Shaq was something else, dude was so dominating that I have never seen anyone like him ever, dude had a peak that was unstoppable, no player in the history of the sports was as great as Shaq when he was on his peak, the difference is the fact that shaq had like a few year peak, before lakers and after lakers were not really "peak" shaq, it was still good many years but it wasn't as peak as lakers years. Magic and Kareem however works very well, Lebron is a great tall passer and scorer, AD is great inside and good with defense with his long arms, those two duo's definitely have a lot of things in common and knowing Lebron, dude basically created his game based on Magic as well.

Funny that the Knicks actually came to my mind while I was checking their (OKC) recent trades - I was like "they're following the Knicks!". But like I said above, the only logical reason for their move is that they're trying to hit the jackpot again like how they landed that trio. If not that, then something similar to what the Warriors did.

I guess Shaq's sneakers will look like clown shoes on any one person who will wear them.
I also remember some funny videos with Nate and Shaq while both were in Boston Celtics. Nate had some problems when he tried to put on Shaq's shoes.

Reading all related articles about that, I see that aside from he wants to play his brother, Marc, he badly wants to retire as a Lakers. Almost consider retiring after injuries but really wants to do it in a Lakers jersey (last played in 2019 with only 3 games with the Bucks).

Pau was also willing to take any offer (well, he should) for his target to be considered signing again to the Lakers. If by any means, that was possible to happen but a waste slot if Pau will get injured again. His situation is different when the Lakers sign the veterans e.g Dwight Howard, Rajon Rondo (which are still on their post-prime).

Yeah, I saw that video, he can do that to anyone as he was an all star dunk contest champion.
Honestly, I don't see this guy playing basketball anymore, last time I saw him was when he was knock out cold by Jake Paul, I hope he will stop boxing.

It's good if Lakers will get him so he can retire as a Laker, also this is his chance to play with his brother in the NBA as they never played before, I see them playing well only with the Spain where two Gasols are a big threat in the inside. Hopefully the Lakers management will give him a chance, Gasol helped the team to achieve multiple championships in the past, so his contribution to the team is unquestionable.

I just saw Dr.Disrepect playing with Jamal Murey on youtube today and it was kinda fun to watch as both are good entertainers. Futhermore, we are 2 days away from the beginning of Pre-Season of NBA and we have some great games in the opening. I will watch both Chicago Vs Hornets and Lakers vs Clippers in the 1st day of the Pre-Season even if we know they will have a slow pace basketball.

Oh! He must be a pure Lakers fan or this attempt might have something to do with Kobe.
The two were really close back then.

We have the same thought. 
Rebuilding and betting on the lottery. Waiting for that player to soar, whoever that will be.
Who knows? They might be searching for the next Jordan or Kobe.
