Lot of miles on Lebron. He's way overdue for a major injury.

As I told you I'm going there and here is the bet. Got the Lakers to miss the playoffs for a $100. What say you? You are a "Lover of All Things Lebron" so this should be right in your wheelhouse. Let's go.

Cleveland won 51 with a more talented roster, weaker league, and him playing in all 82. It took 47 games in order to get the 8th seed in the West last season. I will take my chances with this one. A year older and no realistic shot to get out of the first round if does make the playoffs. He has shown that he will quit on teammates when things go sour. I'm rolling the dice on this one.

No they don't. I might throw you a $50 bet even if Walt does take it. There isn't a player on this Lakers roster as good as Kevin Love. Cleveland had talent. They were better than they ever got credit for but that tends to happen on most of Lebron's teams.
Love is ok. I'll take Kuzma/Ingram over Love/JR, and once you get past that all the Laker players 4-10 are better than the Cavs equivalents. I don't think it's really close.

Think i got this one in the bag 312. This one is easy pickings.
This team has major holes not the least of which is going to be outside shooting. They also are going to be one of the worst defensive teams in the league.
Lebron is playing for 2019 if he is playing for anything at this stage.
