Metta Sandiford-Artest Gives Insane Lakers Championship Odds That Might Even Shock LeBron

The Los Angeles Lakers look a little better now. Anthony Davis is back, and the team is relatively healthy. Things should take a better turn for the storied franchise. LA has a better chance to make the NBA Finals this season. If you ask Metta Sandiford-Artest, he will say that LeBron and the Lakers are the real winners this season.

Head coach Frank Vogel has a chance to make history with his team. He is back now, and he is healthy. COVID gave him serious symptoms, but Vogel feels great right now. The same goes to Davis. The Lakers big man missed each and every game since December 17. His team struggled to stay afloat and lost too many games. LA has a 24-24 record at this point of the regular season. It’s a bad record and Lakers players can definitely do better than this.

I think with @AntDavis23 back , @Lakers have a big shot . I was just debating my boy . He started laughing. I’m like , “OK”

Metta Sandiford-Artest trusts LeBron James and his teammates

How will the Lakers improve their record? NBA analysts wouldn’t bet on Vogel and his players. Metta World-Peace definitely bets on his former team. He was a Laker for six seasons. His latest prediction has shocked a lot of people around the NBA.

According to the former Laker, Davis’ return makes things easier for everyone. He knows that the Lakers have the potential to win a lot of games.

He has already made similar claims. The Lakers looked like champions early in the season. Sandiford-Artest couldn’t predict the struggles. He wasn’t really surprised though. Wonder why? He trusts his guys. He trusts the process.

The Lakers were expected to make a move ahead of the trade deadline. Russell Westbrook, Davis, Talen Horton-Tucker, Kendrick Nunn… Each of these players was a trade target. LA didn’t trade neither of these players and decided to give Stanley Johnson a multiyear deal. The talented player earned his deal with the team. Rob Pelinka and Vogel noticed his great potential.

Who is the next player to join the Lakers? The list is really long… We can only make guesses at this point, but we do trust the front office.
