    Why are the Lakers second favorite to win the championship?

    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.

    Because the GOAT has some talent behind him.

    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.

    I posted my opinion in your Sixers/Raptors thread back on May 5.

    Lakers to win multiple championships.

    While you say you don't believe in your favorite team due to Lebron.

    Seems that means only one of us will be right on this topic.

    Vegas will never give good prices on LA teams because of the people who come from LA to Vegas and weekends and blindly bet them in straight bets and in futures markets. With the Warriors in transition the Vegas books don't want too much exposure on LA

    Do you think BetOnline has the same exposure as MGM on LAL or LAC futures?
