    Seems pretty odd.

    Don't try to be smart and tell me they added Davis and James will be fresh.

    The roster is garbage.

    Explain with thought if you want to discuss

    People have a boner for the Davie/LeRoy combo


    Don't agree with those odds at all OR believe in that combo but people will be people

      Probably because books will still get tons of people putting money down on a terrible number. LeBron fan boys think he can carry any team to a title, so adding AD was all they needed to be all in on the Lakers winning it all. Danny Green is now an elite shooter, and Rondo one of the great PG’s of all time.

            Lakers are a popular team and the books are probably taking a large number of bets on them. Heavily exposed so heavily juiced.

                    NBA play is at a level that was unimaginable in Jordan's day. Jordan today would be like Wilt and Russell in the 80's or 90's; good but not great.

                            I think worth a shot. Russell can fill in while Thompson's out and they can trade him at the deadline for a wing.

                            Good offseason for Myers given the circumstances.

                                  People think Lebron is the Lebron of 5 years ago and not the lazy bum who gets hurt easily and can't play.

                                    The Lakers are loaded unlike anything barring injury though

                                    The clippers will be nowhere to be found

                                          Hurt easily? He has had 1 injury.

                                                          Easily lebron is the GOAT. Its more than championships but everyone on jordans dick just because he could jump from free throw line. Bill russel hasmore Championships than jordan so he must be the king goat.

                                                            Yeah his team would get destroyed by 3 point shooting teams.

                                                              Who sat out more games last 5 years? Lebron or kawhi? Lebron is an iron man.

With the Warriors in transition the Vegas books don't want too much exposure on LA
