Since the Lakers got Russ they will at least go to the WCF next season. Golden State still has more pieces to eventually have a much better roster then the Lakers. Looks like Ben Simmons is staying with the 76ers since they want the moon for him from other teams. I think Pascal Siakam is available that is who the Warriors should go after.

Russ and LB, I do not know about that combination.  I am definitely interested to see how this will work out because you can only have one main ball handler.  I will say during the Cleveland run, LB did defer the ball to Kyrie and the speed that Russ brings to fast breaks should open up a lot of easy baskets for the Lakers bigs like AD and LB.  The one area that the Lakers still lack is outside consistent shooting which can be an issue against GS,
