If all L.A. does is add LBJ they’ll be in pretty good shape. Ingram/Randle/Lonzo/Kuzma is a huge upgrade from the cardboard cutouts and traffic cones LBJ had last season... ...still won’t beat us or GSW, but just sayin’. You certainly would rather someone else playing them in the second round.
Lebron with that team by himself isn't scaring anyone. Plenty of teams in the west better than that still
meh, that team is nothing to worry about Why Bron would still go there without another star is baffling. Those off-court ventures must be really important.
I think he stays in Cleveland. No way he goes to play in the shadow of kobe. The more I think about it. Definitely not without pg13 or Kawhi...and the looks of it are pg13 is staying in okc and pop wont rush into everything. ESPECIALLY with the rumors that he lost leverage and lebron helped with that...he is gonna hold on tight until the deadline. Only thing I cant figure out is the contract structure. Surely he has to be wondering how old he can be and still do 1 plus a player option type deals. At some point he would need that last 3 or 4 or 5 year deal, no?
Paul George is really dumb if he stays in OKC. LA with Bron, going to Philly...those are easily better options How is OKC even gonna improve? Let me guess, the almighty Roberson will catapault them to another level? He’d seriously want to stay in OKC with Russ?
I think the Lakers will still find a way to get other all star/s there, like, Love or Cousins, but that's not going to be enough in the West.
I was on the he should stay in Cleveland business for a while. I'm more in the he goes to LA crowd now. If the lakers could show Kobe that he was valued and really give him the storied ending he wanted, I think LeBron could and wants that same treatment. Win or lose the lights will be brightest in LA. Also, I think Jeannie Buss is doing everything in her power to show she's the anti-Dan Gilbert. Don't get me wrong, he's an idiot for leaving the east, and an idiot for thinking a skeleton crew plus him advances in the west, but I think Cleveland has left such a sour taste in his mouth he can't stay. Hope I'm wrong.
Another barber ! Just goes to show the "barbershop" is still a major hub for gossip/info. I kinda like that.
It's going to be a s***storm the next few years in LA with the Lakers flaming out in the first or second round of the playoffs every year despite Lebron being there and the media will be ripping apart everyone on the roster, it's best to avoid that.
OMG OMG LABron has landed in LA OMG OMG sauces confirm he is in a car headed to... ...his house that he lives in every offseason. These “journalists” are great.
Easily a 50 win team and 3rd after us and GSW. People overate how mediocre 3-8 were last year. The difference between seeds 3-8 was 3 games. They'll lose to us or the warriors in 5 games or 6 at most if they get help from the refs.
I think you have to let go of the assumption that winning is the absolute #1 priority for these guys. It isn't.
People underestimate how good the pelicans were...they just got dismantled by the warriors who will do that to anyone but us. People underestimate how god the wolves were before the butler injury...they also just got dismantled by a historic great team in us. AND people forget how good and young the jazz are who...well, got dismantled by us. West is way better than the east. Ain't close. Oh and he will be playing all these teams 3 to 4 times instead of just once or twice.
I'm not sure they'd be a 50 win team, but they'd be right there with the Thunder, Jazz, Blazers and Pels competing for the 3rd seed if they get another star to come with Lebron. If it's just Lebron by himself they'd run the risk of missing the playoffs.
