I really hope you're not insinuating that LeGoat is tainted?

I'd hope luka goes on a cycle of some PEDs. Dude is already one of the best and he still could be so much more

I really, really need to hear what Mark Cuban has to say about this deal.

I could use a laker bounce for all my luka cards lol.

Funny you say this... short term I'm sure it'll be good for an uptick. It's a reason to look past the fact that he's fallen behind Jokic and Giannis in regards to MVPs and by the end of this year, Championships. Long term this is either going to be the best thing for Luka prices, or the worst.

Everything Luka does in LA is going to be amplified right now. If he starts winning MVPs and Championships, then he'll be the next in the line of Laker greats next to Magic, Kobe, Kareem, and LeBron.

If he doesn't, then the amount of scrutiny he'll face will be like nothing he's ever seen before. Prepare for Luka-overexposure. Which will be great if he's delivering, but troublesome if not.

Luka Silver 10s up from $1100 to $1800 overnight.

Damn. Nice bump.

Where are Jokic and Giannis gonna get their 2nd title from?

I could see Luka getting to 2 before they ever do.

Never seen so many Luka cards flooding the zone like this :eek:

It's a downright shame that we mention LeBron > Shaq when it comes to Laker greats

I'm sitting on 4 pack pulled Donruss Luka RC's that will probably gem, might send them in now lol

[QUOTE=drobfan8;19801805]Where are Jokic and Giannis gonna get their 2nd title from?

Luka needs to get to 1 first. Heck, even an MVP.

Giannis had 2 MVPs and a Finals MVP before he hit 27.

Jokic had 2 MVPs before he hit 27, and an Finals MVP before he hit 28.

Luka is going to hit 27 with 0 MVPs. That's set in stone. It's possible, if he wins this year next to LeBron, that he has 1 Finals MVP by then, but you play that game with a lot of guys right now, like Tatum or SGA, that if they bring home the hardware then they have a jump on him as well. And it's hard to forget about Wemby out there.

So point is that Luka has an uphill battle to catch those guys.. and he very may well if he and the Lakers go on a great run here... and they'll love him for it. But if not, it's going to be worse that if he just came up short in Dallas.

As a LA resident and LeBron fan, I'm rooting for him to help get the King another Ring.

PED’s don’t do #@#@#@#@ without eating better and spending hours in the gym.

With LeBron winding down, lakers will have the resources to put major, grade A pieces around him. I’m excited for his stint in LA.

For an injured player who hasn't suited up since Christmas, that's something.

I think once he plays and reality sets in and ppl realize the Lakers aren't winning the chip this season, things will come back down to earth.

This is nothing new for the Lakers though.

Lebron will not be considered a Laker great IMO…too many ahead of him. Wilt, West, Baylor, Shaq…

He just moved to a fan base that is on the order of 5-10x the size of the Mavs. Not to mention he should preserve the majority of the fans he already has.

Rookies and bigger second year and beyond cards should get a good bump. Panini better be scrambling to have him included as a Laker in sets this year.

Living in LA I have good perspective about this from talking to a lot of life long Lakers fanatics.

He will not be on the same tier as Kobe and Magic... Those two are the top Laker royalty. Kareem and Shaq next. His 7 (and counting years), 1 Championship, all time scoring title, etc, with the Lakers will place him with Wilt (5 years), and nobody around here talks about Elgin Baylor.

LA fans aren't going to miss out on the chance to call a guy who's widely renowned as a top 2 all time player their own

Where does The Logo fit in? In the Kareem tier? I could see him being in a tier with Kobe and Magic or right below it on his own because of his contributions as a player and exec.

Shame they don't talk about Elgin. Maybe it's because he spent so many years ruining the Clippers.

I think at this point Jerry West is seen as even more of a leader/statesman of the game. Nobody I know what alive to see him play. There's a lot of respect for him, but people I'm friends with weren't even born until a decade or so after he retired.

This is key. No one talks about West or Baylor here because only boomers saw them play.

Lakers greats are Kobe, Magic, Kareem and Shaq. Even Wilt, I don't remember the last time anyone talked about him.

I have a feeling LeBron will join that group but probably as the 5th guy there (or 4th passing Kareem).
