True Lakers Fans

My over/under is set at 1.5. As of now I think he wins 2 and I think it will be in 2020 and 2021. I think the Warriors will 3Peat in this 2019 Season, then it will be our turn. Once Magic/Rob add that other SuperStar in the summer of 2019 to go with LeBron it's over! I do think we will add another SuperStar whether it's Leonard, Thompson, or even Durant. I think the 2021 Season will be LeBron's last Great season then he will start to decline a little, but he along with whoever else will get us 2 Championships IMO. Going into the 2020 Season our young guys will be seasoned as well. We should be really tough to beat in 2020 and 2021. In this 2019 Season I still say we win 51 games and win a Playoff series which will be nice growth moving forward. We will be fun to watch this season.

I think he will be lucky to win 1 and, if he does, I will be thrilled! Much depends on next summer; ideally we can pick off either Klay or KD from the Dubs. That's his best chance.

I was going back and forth between 1 and 2 because we have no idea how good the Rockets and Celtics will be over the next 3 seasons either. I do think we win at least 1. If we can get Durant or Thompson next summer, that weakens the Warriors as well. So I hope we get 1 of those 2 instead of Leonard.

Exactly, preferably Durant.

I wont waste time predicting how many titles (too much like the Heat's ludicrous sideshow), but if LeBron can stay healthy, he can keep playing for us like Kareem did, surpass Kobe's 20-year career, and at the same time surpass a lot of legends in the record books. Kareem was skinny, Kobe and Jordan were shorter . . LeBron is nothing short of the perfect prototype athlete who can get his buckets well into his early 40s. If he wins ONE with us and spends the next 4-5 years getting his all-around numbers, he may retire as the greatest athlete to play the game. I wish him all the luck, health and focus in the world - eventually we will have another HOF player who will aid him like Magic saved Kareem. Light the cigars, fellas . . it's going to be a wild ride!

Yeah these next few years will finally be fun again to watch. Look at the patience we all had in here sticking with our team over the last 5 BAD seasons from 2014-2018 seasons. We haven't made the Playoffs since the 2013 Season but the cream of the crop always eventually rises back to the top. Once Magic took over with Rob I could see the Lakers getting Good again and they will be Great in 2020 IMO. This season will be about getting back to respectability and winning 50 games and a Playoff series. In 2020 it will be about winning Championships again like it used to be when Magic played and then Kobe played.
