We know he wasn't close to returning. Attempting to return would've been a big mistake. Yes, we would've pushed OKC to 6. So what?
3. is a given. 1 is most likely true, but that is not necessarily good for the Lakers. 2 is debatable, depending on the team.

This dude was one of the best players in the 2026 playoffs so far. Kudos. He'll be back. We can't find a better 4, no way.
It is. He will find Bron in the shower after the game and talk to him.
LaRavia is young and fits the "prototype" we need. Ayton... outperformed his salary.
OKC does not even need Shai to be on top of his game to win the championship, let alone win in the second round. The team around him is deep,...
Everyone likes Austin. He is gritty, he is skilled, he is a great teammate and he is fun to watch. He also deserves to be paid more, but I will...
Yeah. He is not a great defender during the regular season, but he does step up in the playoffs. He's big. He is a lights out shooter and can...
^ TF did I just read?!
Bron is an elite 4 in this league at the age of 41. His playoff performance is not diminished. With some load management this guy is a beast. Not...
Indeed. I know it sounds cliché, but we really just need a couple of tough, physical players ("dawgs"), guys who can impose themselves...
I would not give up on him yet. He needs to work hard this summer, but he can be an OK two-way bench player for us and he's young and always...
I am happy with our effort overall. I do agree that the Thunder are simply better. There's not much we can do... They are deeper, they are more...
Yeah, moves like that are entirely possible and likely to happen, IMO.
I think Luka and Brown would fit together very well, but I am not convinced that is actually realistic. My sense is we end up making smaller but...
We can’t just run this back. It’s a good team, very solid in the regular season, but realistically, depending on matchups, this looks like a...
Basically, yes. None of that is going to change and we need to have a serious look at what he brings to the table if we want to be a serious...
Well... this won't do in the playoffs. I am sorry.
AD would be shooting jumpshots and missing them, insisting that he is a 4, moving Bron out of position, and you'd have no real offense to speak...
