FIRST TAKE | Stephen A. Smith: If Donovan Mitchell join LeBron, Lakers are favorites in West 

Oh sure lol Like how Bucks with Lillard and Suns with Beal were automatic Vegas favs Both 1st round ousted

IT SEEMS LIKE IF LEBRON CANT GET AT LEAST 2 ALL STARS IN THEIR PRIME HE CANT WIN ALL HIS RINGS WERE PLAYERS IN THEIR PRIME WADE BOSH KYRIE LOVE AD ETC HE NOT GETTING NO MORE RINGS ALSO LAKERS SHOULD BE MAD THEY DRAFTED RANDLE HART NANCE J INGRAHAM CLARKSON AND THEY DIDNT LET THEM DEVELOP ALL CAUSE LEBRON AND AD

The lakers are the Dallas cowboys of the NBA.

Lakers trade spare parts and low draft picks for Mitchell...smh not happening

They say this every year foh

Lakers are going to offer contracts they dont want, 2nd round picks, and an expecting glare from LeBron? Seems like the Cavs can get much more elsewhere.

LA has nothing to give up except for AD and LBJ. I think CLE can make some moves to get Mitchell pieces. Garland was not who I thought he was.

No team in NBA History or even in Sports history has gotten so much shine/credit for playing a team "close" while losing 8 out of 9 playoff games and two series. All time Moral Victory Champions ! Embarrassing lol

Somebody else to blame if the lakers dont win

Espn is corny. I wish they recruited for the celtics like they do for the lakers. Maybe they would have more chips.

Just do an even trade James for Mitchell

Don’t go because lebron will blame you when things don’t go right

That was mad disrespectful today, when you all said my man Steven A can’t get 1 shot on LeBron James shooting to 100. I believe in Steven A I know he can make 1 shot! I can make one shot! My 2 son’s can make 1 shot!

And if they dont..it'll b Donovan Mitchell and Co's fault

Who they trading????

Mitchell will give the Lakers to the conference finals

Do not do it, Donovan Mitchell . You saw how Westbrook was a trible double king and never got one again after going to play with Lebron. Even became a nobody. The only reason why they have a ring in LA is because everyone was out of shape and scared to die during the lockdown of Covid19. If someone knows Donovan Mitchell please tell him to stay far away or be disgraced and your worth taken away to chump change like Westbrook.

LOLOL what a joke

In no way does Donovan Mitchell improve the Lakers in the playoffs. He's not going to guard Porter Jr or Murray. Same problems with marginal improvement on offense where Donovan WILL become off ball predominantly. Man can't even guard Brown or Tatum. So, no improvement. For sure.

😂😂😂no way the lakers would be favorites! Mitchell doesn’t play any defense!

Mitchell is injury prone won’t play half the season lebron is old barely got a year left and ad sux
