2024-25 NBA Coefficients: Bet on Port, Lebron Lakekeepers to win west

Why you bet on Lakers To win the west?

Last week, the Dallas Mavericks stunned NBA The world when they traded Luka Dončić – for my money, the best player in the NBA last three years – on Lakers Anthony Davis, Max Christie and the future choice of the first round.

Trade will have seismic consequences for years, but to focus on a short period.

Will port and LebronTwo generational stars in need of a ball in their hands, they can work together?

It is obvious that the answer is yes.

There will be protective, just like any pairing in basketball history, but this one should put some money on the Lake Money to win the west.

Are currently Lakers +900 to reach NBA finals, significantly behind OKC Thunder (-105) and Denver Nuggets (+550).

Yes, the city of Oklahoma looks amazing. Statistically, Little is Juggernaut. The fifth are in offensive efficiency and first in defense. They were built for a regular season, with 11 very good players and famine to play deeply after they are rejected in the second round last year – despite the advantage of the domestic court.

But remember, they lost from the port of Dončić.

If you forgot about that series, here’s a fast river.

Mavs lost the game 1, then Dončić bounced with 29-10-7 in the game 2 wins. Mavs lost the game 4, and Doncic refused with 31-11-10 in the game 5 on the road.

In short, Thunder does not have an answer for him. No Lou is sleepingno Alex Carusoand certainly not Jalen Williams.

Lakeers will be underdogs, and SGA can win NBA MVP award, but the best two players on the floor will be James and Dončić.

Denver began slow but returned near the top of the table, which led an imperceptible Nikola Jokić. He is unstoppable, as inside, Anthony Davis can’t stop him.

Jokic received a series of 4-1 years last year and a series of 4-1 years and a field from a field with a hit 59%.

Then Jokic on average on average 29-11-7 against Rudi Gobert In the second round and nuggets are lost.

The point is that no one stops Jokic. He went to 24-19-7 in the game 7 at home and lost.

Yes, he will be a huge problem for Lakers, who do not have bodies to slow the joker. But the smart question is whether Leirers will dispute Jamal Murrai And there are enough offenses to knock down nuggets.

With Doncic? Of course, they do it.

Health will be the most important, but when not? Lakers will have – give or take – 25 games to resolve the Kinks new groups and it is enough time to prepare for the playoffs.

Didn’t we all stop suspecting James 15 years ago?
