I think LeBron's new record, whatever it ends up at after he retires, could, at some point be broken. Especially with it likely that 18 year-olds will be allowed to play in the NBA again after the next CBA is ratified. I mean, Anthony Edwards, who is just 21 and in his third season, if he stays healthy and averages say 25-28 ppg the rest of his career, he could get it. (He won't, but if healthy, man, he is going to put up some huge numbers.) So could a bunch of young guys, health permitting. I mean, it is at least possible. It's all about, as you said, longevity. And injury rates are high these days.
But man, what a record.
As for your Lakers, looks like, according to Shams, you're getting DLo from us and we'll be importing Mike Conley and hopefully a 1rd pick from someone. I'm okay with it. Conley is old, but he's a steadying force at the 1, averaging 7.7 apg in a half-court set, and he knows how to get the ball in the right spots to Gobert. With Towns coming back after the ASB, I feel confident Conley can play a solid 25 minutes a night and have a big positive impact on the Wolves' chances in the playoffs. But we need a pick out of this. Just giving up DLo for Conley makes zero sense.
