- In this video, we see how the Lakers recovered from the Kobe Bryant era, through excellent drafting and contract moves. Later on, they used their contract moves to create cap space which they used to sign LeBron James and they used their promising young players to trade for Anthony Davis. And finally this season, they were able to sign Russell Westbrook!

I have seen a couple comments asking for videos on the Suns, Hawks, and Bucks.
If you click on my channel you will see that I actually already made videos on all three of those teams, I'm guessing it just didn't pop up in everyone's recommended.
Also are the Lakers a superteam? Let me know below.
Pin ur comment bro
We need a Chicago bulls video
loved the video. 🤝
@Elmer Lappay They have Lebron James, Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis 😂
2022 Lakers have the oldest roster in the history of the NBA. Many of the players on the roster are way past their prime and are too slow to play defense and will not improve with age. Who among these old timers could improve beyond below average defenders: Ariza, Augustin, Bazemore, Ellington, Howard, Melo, LeBron, Westbrook?
Lakers need younger, better shooters, rebounders, and defenders. As a team the Lakers were below average shooters: 20th in the NBA in 3pointer%, 20th in the NBA in rebounding, 23rd in the NBA in defensive rating and 29th in the NBA in free throw%.
Man those lakers sure are good
No cap they are
@@yuyanzheng8421 Deadass? On god?
My favourite team
@@shadowballs792 They also got Melo, Nunn, Monk, Howard, THT and Ariza. Hopefully, Love gets bought out by Cleveland so that we can get him.
@@zhangye1006 oh please get love out of cleveland i missed him no homo
Story Telling is on point brother. As a data scientist, i'd like to know how you got this well.
Its just funny how Lakers and Nets where laughing stock 7 years ago. Garnet, Pierce, Deron Williams for the Nets and Dwight, Nash, Kobe and Pau for the Lakers. And look at they now.
Crazy what free agency does to teams
Update, lakers and nets are worse than before.
@@projectvivid9090 yeah but Lakers got the chip, nets however.
Like I said last year after the COVID short postseason. The team that stays the healthiest will win the championship. MIL was one of the healthiest teams without one of the fewest rosters with health and safety-protcol games that were missed by players. Lakers stay healthy they will win.
Underrated 🔥
that 2016-17 lakers team would actually be good if all of them were playing rn on the team
If only th Chris Paul trade wasn’t vetoed, Chris Paul would have his ring and Kobe would’ve probably got at least 2 more rings
That’s crazy. So Let’s say hypothetically that Kobe gets to more. Is he the goat?
@@himmothy111 lets say 8 rings for kobe he doesn’t tear his achlies and ends his career all nba 3rd team
But the nba allows westbrook to go there but not paul bs
@@ronschlorman9549 Chris Paul was better at the time than Westbrook is now . Still a bs veto tho
@@cammatzek1541 different commissioner. Adam Silver is a Lebron fan and don’t give af
its crazy how good kobe still was before he got hurt almost forgot damn 37 points a game is wild
@Kensley Voltaire That doesn't matter since he still scored that way unlike a stat kisser like you.
Lakers late first round drafts r underrated. Really found some gems
LeeeeeeeGM back at it
You're story telling ability is amazing brother. Story telling is also a skill in my profession as a Data Scientist. Any advice?
You missed the anthony davis and kcp injuries against the suns bro😔.Anyways,great vid!
what music are you using it's so satisfying to hear, also can you do timeline of Phoenix Suns timeline to the finals pretty plz.
Pretty pls 😐
He did do that vid
Can u do either a mavs one or the 76ers or the falling of the spurs
Do the timeline of the collapse of a superteam in the nba just like in the nfl
Ive seen many people say they finally became a superteam, I don’t see how they weren’t already a superteam in 2020. 2 top 5 players surrounded with veterans some with championship experience already, solid role players n shooters, and everyone could guard their man.
You are crazy thats why your the only one that’s feels that way . A dynamic duo is not a super team no matter what veterans or whatever bs you said is around them . Super team has to have 3 of the top 20 players in the league on one team to considered a super team to even casual fans . You just a hater most likely
@@jamestyson2477 no there were a super team you don't need 3 top 20 players they had multiple players who already won rings and hall of famers coming off the bench. No one on that team was drafted to it it's 100 percent inorganic.
One more year and then we are finally freed from Luol Deng's terrible contract 🥳
Here we are after Lakers even didn't make it to playoff despite mostly their stars got injured 😁
Injuries are part of the game
Bro the lakers drafted some studs man
Thats wat I said like all of their picks out side of the lottery have all became solid role players and even starters
it seems destiny, the lakers and the nets are the only teams who built superteams the past 10 yrs that failed the first time and still waiting for judgement this second time. it also involved a different set of hall of famers except for dwight who was part of the failed first attempt.
Is mind blowing that lakers never landed the number one pick they stuck with number 2 pick 3 years in the row
you forget to mention ad got injured vs the suns
Can you do the Atlanta
Already did, check recent videos!
O sorry
How about Boston
They could, they just need a good set of role players
Lakers had some good picks
Few things that you left out, when the Lakers hired D’antoni they were contemplating bringing Phil Jackson back to coach that super team. Jim Buss stabbed a lot of people in the back by hiring D’antoni and that was a big reason Dwight left. Also the D’angelo filming scandal was pretty big too lol, he would have been a laker long term if that didn’t happen
Great fucking video tho
should have waited 3 days for the carmelo sign :P
You’re wrong though. 90% of people say this ain’t supposed to work so it can’t be a superteam
Currently Lakers are superteam only on paper. They even didn't start to play together yet people are sending them to the finals. There are a lot of questions of how the pieces will fit together. It is not enough to just assemble a group of superstars to win a championship, 2011 Heat is example of that, Nets this season also were example. For me personally I didn't like the acquisition of Westbrook. I thought that Lakers should pursue and give everything for Lillard.
There was no way in hell they would have gotten lillard
The Lakers COULD win it all however, there going to need to stay healthy and sign decent enough role players to surround their stars. If they can do that, I have no doubt that they at the very least win the Western Conference
5:57 Randle as starter and reserve?
Wtf
We need how Chicago rebuild became a success
Imagine if the lakers didn't trade all there young players away that would’ve been a crazy team
Yah but all that young untapped talent on one team was bad. They needed to leave and lead their own, im sure theyll have a reunion moment with their respective teams. Like lebron with cavs.
Lakers don’t develop young players(except Kobe)
Because Lebum wants a chip right now
Excellent contract moves??? Like Timofey Mozgov and Luol Deng? They haunt me till this day lmao
6:00 Julius randle got on there twice
13:32 lol lehead coach
Mike probably could of won the champtionchip with that offense if he was coaching the thunder at the time
we all saw that lehead coach
could you pin me and who do you think is better Tim Duncan or Magic
Why does Anthony brown look like markelle faultz 🤣🤣🤣
13:32 HAHHAHAHAHAHA LOL
I like how there was people saying that jordan won his championships cause of pippin and yet lebron has played with ad,melo,russ,Dwight,kyrie,love,wade,bosh,rose and Allen, 10 hall of famers so i just want to say that for all of the lebron fans that say jordan had more help to win chips uh yea lebron needed the help from most of them and let's just thank kyrie and Allen for saving his legacy with those clutch shots they hit in the finals that would've cost 2 of lebrons 4 championships.
5:57 why are there 2 Julius randle's lmao
A superOLDteam
But yet people say MJ and Scottie were a Superteam like stop that Have you ever heard of something called a dynamic duo so you’re calling Kobe and Shaq a superteam magic and Kareem bird and mchale
You can't name a team "superteam" if Kuzma is on it
@InlandTuba24 Kuzma should think about retirement
Man i miss the old Kuz. Dude was killing it, he used to be my fav player
same dude
Lebron and AD ruined kuzma i hope he will be gud with bradley beal and the wizards
First time I’ve seen your face
Two words: bubble championship
I want Byron Scott to be invited to Access SportNet studio.
they are
Damn this aged badly
Ok im sorry but the 2020 team was not a superteam why do you keep saying that
You make it sound like the Lakers just all the sudden just collapsed. They were gonna beat them till AD got hurt.
Chicago Bulls Next?
LeGM building a superteam again to get that chip.
Not a superteam tho. Having westbrook just made them worst tbh
Everyone was clowning them so Im not sure how they are heing labeled as a superteam.when everyone thinks they are bad
@@rlmalonzo1184 not worse than Schroeder
@@rlmalonzo1184 stop playing games dude it don't matter what people say there a super team.
LeHead Coach and LeGM
There’s a big difference between a super team & a big 3. The Lakers are not a super team
5:25 well…
13:30 tho rofl
Plus Mac mcgoat
Rip egends
Are they really a superteam ? Lot of people called Russ ass but now he’s on the lakers y’all say he’s good 💀
Hopefully, it won’t be like last season
the veto of chris paul trade wasnt because it was unfair lol it was cause the team chris paul played on was a small market team and if he left it would have nothing
13:32 😂🤣🤣🤣
It’s so funny how so many negative narratives were pushed onto the Nets last year & none of them came true it was literally health but that was still a superteam right ? But now narratives around the Lakers don’t make them a superteam? 😂😂😂
Laker fans only hated the Nets because they wanted to be the Nets
Nah man superteams sucks but respect to the organization for getting shit done.
The Lakers only did this because the Nets did, the year prior there was no superteam in the NBA.
But the narratives for the 3 players on the lakers are different compared to the 3 players on the nets. James Harden was really the only bad narrative on the nets team. And kyrie only had the narrative of him not playing. With the lakers its lebron is old and washed. AD is injury prone. Russell Westbrook has low iq,statpadder,and you can't win with him. Based on those narratives lakers wouldn't be a superteam. Like we see where its going the media dictates how most people should think. So most people roll with how they want to think. We just saying to keep that same energy either these 3 players aren't that good or they good. Just give them credit when they alone don't make a big deal.about them teaming up. Because now its like you don't want to admit you were wrong.
@Derek Sangster I didn't say they was or wasn't.
The nets were a superteam this lakers team ain't. You got KD,kyrie,James harden, Blake griffin career was revitalized, potentially Spencer Dinwiddie if he wasn't injured, LaMarcus Aldridge before he retired, Joe Harris and excellent 3 point shooter. A super team goes way beyond who your starters are without any depth you're worthless
ESPN Titles Leaked:
When Lakers Win: Lebron is the Greatest of All Time
When Lakers Lose: Lebron needs help, he can't do it alone
Ur smoking that good Indian crack. Who tf in espn says lebron is the goat. they hold him to this extremely high standard
13:31 YO Lebron
5:25 that didnt age well lmao
This team is a big three but not a super team
What if the Lakers Didnt let Dlo,Ingram,Randle,Clarkson Go?
dnnkrstr7 And Larry Nance and Nick Young.
4-1 4-2 4-2
People really think this lakers team is a “super team” ?
15:35 so we gonna act like Anthony Davis didn’t get injured or something and that’s why the suns won
An L is an L, stop making excuses, the suns balled out smoking the lakers by double digit
@@nkg3872 this aged poorly needed AD hurt
Superteam to Laughingteam...lol
13:30 I see what you did there
Lmao. The lebron head coach jokes r hilarious
Warriors
they built that team by means of tampering it for their nba baby diva lbj
what super team?
clarksons deal was very good.. ? wdym it was a bad contract lol 10 mil for a young player averaging 15,3,4
To all my laker haters, keep exposing yourselves as we move on up to #18 all by ourselves.
Lebron won a ring when Kobe retired and won 1 when Kobe passed a away hmmm
The lakers should have traded for Buddy instead they need shooting badly
The Lakers lacked star power when AD was out and went down. They needed another leader and commander out there with Lebron. When AD was out for majority of the season, the Lakers didn’t have anyone else who could create their own shot. Russ provides star power but aggressive play to the court. The Lakers had no answer for when the Suns went on runs and Lebron was the only guy who could calm the bleeding. Russ can be that other star to stop the bleeding and AD can’t stay healthy.
Besides, Buddy Hield isn’t that very good. You’re either choosing between a walking triple double once in a generation PG or you’re trading for just another SG and 6th man who hasn’t lived up to his potential.
Pistons
he sits out for 68 months?
2022 Lakers have the oldest roster in the history of the NBA. Many of the players on the roster are way past their prime and are too slow to play defense and will not improve with age.

Another channel that doesn’t understand what a super team is, they see 3 superstar players and think SUPERTEAM let’s throw that in the title but don’t take into consideration lbj is 36 bout to be 37 AD is the player I’d consider the superstar here and Russ is a former mvp whose been traded 2 times in the last recent years only former mvp whose that happened to doesn’t even see rest of roster but throws out superteam !
yeah Westbrook has a plus minus of -79 or something like dat
Its a big three but a terrible one at that
Rubber Ducky
Now watch the lakers lose in the 2nd round due to injuries.
Super-team? OLD-TEAM 😅
Brandon Ingram come back to lakers
Half of superteam
Its not a super team its a big 3
If that's the case the warriors was a big 3 and not a super team. Gtfoh
LeHead Coach
Skipped over ad getting hurt in playoffs bud they were up untill he got hurt
The Lakers are in serious decline to anyone with eyes to see. Adding Westbrick for what little decent bench depth they had. In case no ones noticed LeBron is 38 years old.
1. LeBron is 36, going on 37.
2. We can sign many skilled and experienced veterans (since the reports suggest that plenty of veterans are willing to sign with the Lakers) who play defense, and shoot a high percentage.
Okay casual
To veteran minimum? This is professional basketball ball. The only 'players' you're going to attract are scrubs with little or nothing left. You can load manage some but not all season in this conference and make the playoffs
@@tomdolan9761 lakers will be fine. They have 3 roster spots open to sign defensive players and possibly another center/big man. Sure they’re old but that doesn’t mean they can’t win. They got good pieces like Westbrook and Kendrick nunn etc. So quit acting like you know everything
