    Didn't a BARBER break Dwight Howard to the Rockets?

    I've got my own media company that works on special projects for a host of movie studios in Los Angeles. I have info on deals that LeBron and his people have made in the entertainment industry and wwit that information comes the answer to where he and Paul George have already chosen to play next year.

    Cyberx was asking if anyone can corroborate the Pete Zayas story of the 4 entertainment sources. I'm not one of those people whom Zayas heard from, but I do work in the industry and can confirm where LeBron is going.

    One thing is for sure, he is not going to be a Texan.
    I don't follow it religiously because I am not a Rockets fan.

    When Cyberx says something, I listen.

    But if Im breaking the rules, I apologize and will bow out.

    Thanks, y'all been great.

    Good luck next season!

    I was thinking LeBron to in LA with PG last week for the simple fact that there are a lot of things that have to fall perfectly into place for him to end up in Houston. Add that the the fact that his family spends a lot of summers in LA, and Lakers have a lot of young talent, and it seems like a realistic outcome. Kuzma is one hell of a shooter and was just a rookie. He’ll only get better. Ingram what’s trending upward before he got injured, and Randall was right there with Capela as one of the most improved players in the NBA. Hell just having LeBron, PG, and Kuzma would be a triple scoring threat. Then you add the rebounding, scoring, and shot blocking of Randle to go along with a young up n coming 6’9” forward that averaged 16 ppg in his second year. As for Ball, he can play a backup roll or be traded.

    As much as I would love to have Lebron.... i do see him in either L.A. or Philly..... the decision wasn't like 2010 where he could just choose where to move based on Basketball. He has a family to discuss the situation with. He has a son in Highschool now. If anything Philly is close to Ohio if his son decides to finish his last years of Highschool at his current school. The only way they can make things happen in Houston is if Chris Paul is constantly recruiting Lebron's kids and telling them how amazing Houston Life is.

    I thought the Lakers would have to renounce their rights to Randle in order to sign PG and Lebron unless one of them takes a discount.

    Umm, most of the 'great' players are under contract for other teams.
    They can't just flock like bugs to a porch light. PG would be the only real exception.
    He has that option.
    But would LBJ prefer to take a chance on an unknown experiment like teaming up with George in LA?
    Or would a proven team in HOU that took the Worriers to 7 games and only lost to Scott Foster be a better option?
    Stay tuned.

    I don't know about 'edge', but if it is a non basketball decision, they have things to offer. Also a strong team legacy...bringing championship(s?) back to LA would be a great achievement. But...is that possible?

    Do these deals require that LeBron be in LA? I would think they would primarily be in the off season, meaning he could play anywhere and do them.... Maybe easier if in LA, but not essential. Your thoughts?

    The only way to change this to build a spaceport. We need spaceships, a giant done, and spacechicks, and a lifestyle so interesting they want is every day.

    So he’s got 3-4 good years left and you think he’s going to waste them on a team that won’t even be second best in the West.

    Some of y’all need to brush these laker fans out of the building.

    According to Dwade and many others, Lebron doesn't want to join up with established superstars, instead he wants to sign with a team that has cap space and bring other star FAs to them to form a superteam.

    idk why it makes a difference

    I think people has to read between the lines. The first leave was about chasing a championship. Second leave was about doing the right thing and ring chasing.

    This leave will have family factor and ring chasing as well. Bottmine still ring chasing.

    It's not like Ohio is the only place with good school program on basketball for his sons.

    However, I think the family factor plays into the fact that lebron is looking for a long term home. He wants to sign 4 or 5 yrs deal therefore family plays a bigger role.

    Lebron doesn't want to wait plus how would lavar ball running his mouth? Ever thought of that?

    If lavar shows no respect to Jordan curry Walton the lakers medical staff. Do u think he will show any to bron?

    Lebron would not allow himself or his family be in the headlines about lavar running his mouth.

    nobody wants to live in Cleveland, that’s been established...not even Bron could change that fact

    LA isn’t Cleveland

    Where is he playing next year if you had to pick?

    I don't know the answer. All of his options have compromises.

    Are you moving where he goes?

    No, I haven't lived where he's played in 6 years.

    I don't see an option for him that is perfect and an option that doesn't have a significant compromise for him. He has a lot of average to below average to above average options. If the field is open, it behooves every team to throw their hat into the ring.

    There's only 2-3 people who really really know what LeBron is thinking. They don't talk that much. Unless I hear from those people directly, I'm cautious about ruling anything in any direction.

    He can't play with Kyrie again?

    I wouldn't rule anything out.

    Need the ball in his hands?

    That's one the compromise I'm talking about. I think winning at the highest level is most important to him & to do that, he may have to compromise the way he plays. If he had to go to Philly, there would compromises all the way down the line. I don't see that as a good fit unless there's a real meeting of the mind of those 3 guys & agree to change their game a bit. Maybe it could happen but don't feel like Philly is a good fit. Maybe it would happen.

    Wife have a say?

    For sure, so do his sons. LeBron believe he has a chance to be a NBA player. He wants to put him in a position to be successful. Where he goes to high school, how he can train, stuff like that is a factor. Going to a city they never lived in before would again be a compromise. He has to figure out which compromise(s) he's gonna make. This is gonna be a compromised decision. When he went back to Cleveland, he felt good about it and didn't have to compromise much. When he went to Miami, his kids were young, he wasn't married yet. This is a very different set of circumstances.

    Not going to Golden State?

    I don't think so but again, I'm not ruling anything out. I trust 2-3 people. Unless those 2-3 people tell me something's not gonna happen, I'm not gonna wildly speculate.
