Early in his appearance here he says he doesn’t think lebron will try to go team up with all stars, instead its a lifestyle decision. He can bring players to him. He doesn’t explicitly say any team by name but it sounds like he thinks lebron is going to the lakers
Lol people I know y'all love the rockets but he can win a chip on the Lakers. Like wade said given the cap room great players will come where ever lbj is. Lakers have plenty of cap n movable assets.
I mean, it sort of makes sense. Going to Miami was a decision to play with friends. Going back to Cleveland was again another personal decision. Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if he stayed in Cleveland either. However, I don't buy into the idea that players will necessarily follow him. LeBron and Cleveland were not the second best team. That team didn't look like they were having fun either. Ring chasers will fill roles in Houston and Golden State before whatever team Bron is on.
A lot of ifs are in play with the Lakers. The potential for a championship? Sure. But I don't see them netting enough talent to even escape the second round. If they were to get Leonard and George I still don't see it being enough for the same reasons that OKC couldn't escape the first round. The rest of the pieces on LA are trash.
I do to bro I've went over this before me n the fam have 2 bricks outside of toyota. But I don't let my love cloud my thinking. If l.a. n new York ever have thier **** together they will always be a better destination than anywhere else in the NBA. Period fact.
The Lakers would be an easier road. They do need to sign a second All Star type (Paul George, I suppose). The Lakers are carrying Luol Deng’s Joakim Noah-ish contract, so that’s a hindrance.
A lot of y’all discount LA way too easily. Houston has it’s downsides. The roster is old, and CP3 could easily become another D-Wade situation for him. I’m sure his family would prefer LA to Houston as well. Bron to LA could definitely happen.
Period fact? Not really. But ok. Again, a LOT of ifs in that statement. Even if they satisfy all your ifs, I still have a hard time believing they are better than the warriors or Houston.
See u didn't included maybe the greatest player ever in lbj. If u think lbj n George could get out the second round ur crazy. The Cavs with love kyrie n lbj won a chip man. Cavs doom was trading kyrie n being capped out. La they could make a roster to complete if they had lbj. They have a bunch of young assets. Kuzma hell even ball some small market team would trade for to give a disgruntled player that don't want to play small-market anymore
Yeah but the idea of him getting so many great players to come to him that he could get past not only the Warriors who he hasn't been able to get past recently but the Rockets too....just to get to the finals? Doesn't make sense.
I was thinking of something along those lines too. Maybe getting his ass absolutely handed to him twice in a row made him realise that no matter what he does he can't beat golden state with KD. So maybe he'll just go somewhere to chill and focus on off court stuff till that team falls apart. Of course he'd never actually say that but that would be smart way to do it.
It would be a smart move to head to the team that is better than the Warriors right now so you can get revenge on the Warriors while playing alongside your best friend in the league. It's certainly better than giving up.
