Lakers? Heat? Did anyone hedge like Dion Waiters did?

Dion Waiters has officially made himself the standard by which all other basketball players shall be measured.

He come out publicly and guarantee that he wins a ring before game one.

He could get double paid as well, if the Heat vote him a share of playoff cash.

If he logs considerable minutes for the Lakers, miami should definitely vote him a share of the playoff cash. That guy is always the other teams best player when he's on the court

Even he isn't going to drag LeBron down; Lakers in five.

Lakers have the two best basketball players in the league, and it's not even close.

Should be enough to win a title. They will be in control even when they are getting blown out.

When Lakers had the 2 best players in the world in 2004 they could not even score on Spurs or Pistons. Heat will get better shots bottom line.

Nobody every had an Anthony Davis. who is an impossbile threat though. Inside and outside. It becomes how hard they want to run things through him.

Even if they lose, it's going to be Davis related.

**shadymcgrady** · 09-28-20, 02:41 PM

Lakers have best #1 and #2 but miami has #3-#7 after that

**moses millsap** · 09-28-20, 03:24 PM

Lakers will win, because it will be 8 on 5.

lebron and davis are not feuding like kobe and shaq. that is a difference also.

**shadymcgrady** · 09-28-20, 03:54 PM

That 04 Lakers team was a hot mess. There was kobe and shaq feuding over who the alpha was supposed to be.

There was also legitimate fighting beef between Kobe and the mailman bc old man malone tried openly hitting on Kobe's wife will expecting Shaq and Kobe to slip a ring on his finger.

The glove was worn out at that point and Payton was just a mouth and all of a sudden mark mad dog madsen and big shot bob couldn't do anything when the stars weren't heavy lifting

That 2004 Pistons team was unusual in that they had no superstars but everybody who got any playing time was good, teams like that are rare in the NBA.
