Yup, that'll absolutely happen, but I'm not sure he'll care. After all, his concerns are hanging out in LA with his family, not winning or his legacy and I say more power to him. Lesser men would care about those things.
Something is not quite right... PG13 may stay in OKC? Spurs may not deal Kawhi to Lakers??? Why is LeBron going to the Lakers? EG insurance? Gerald Green our first meeting? Why do I feel like something big for Houston Rockets will happen soon?
I'm just flabbergasted that LeBron would go to the Lakers by himself...thats just not the LeBron way. And yes...yes I am.
It just seems like something is wrong because Lebron's decision isn't based on basketball and the team he's going to is going to be middling at best. He wants to hang out in LA with his family and that's what he's going to get.
Rockets is going to renounce all free agents. Trade Anderson, Gordon, Nene to clear cap space. Sign LeBron and CP3. DeAndre sign for minimum. Our bench will be G-League.
The league caters to LeBron. I'm sure he'll get what he wants again. It was really nice of the Cavs to take Clarkson's contract. The Cavs won three out of four lotteries leading up to his "triumphant" return.
If he does go to LaLaLand and if neither PG13 nor Kawhi join him do you believe other and good fits will follow suit? If he's a Lake then worry about the spring tourney even alone without George or Leonard.
Makes sense from a non-basketball perspective, just really didn't think he would go that route. So many years to enjoy it after retirement, I thought he would go for more rings.
Watching last years Rockets, I'm not at all concerned about the Lakers with or without added stars. With that said...why do I want gut this team for LeBron?
That may be the point - he will take the lead and others will follow, but probably not until next season. So unlike Lebron since he's usually going where the roster is stacked.
I would say "hilarious". It's going to be funny watching people tear him down over the next several years.
