    where else would he be though? and why not. Especially when Bronny is playing at home and now in the midst of playing meaningful basketball that's vital to his future

    What ever team would have given him the best odds at winning a ring. That bubble season was the perfect storm for him and the Lakers; the stoppage of games in the middle of the season gave AD plenty of time to rest and get healthy for the playoff run. Otherwise, if it was an actual full season without the stoppage, chances are AD wouldn't have lasted throughout the playoffs and the Finals.

    well yeah of course with AD but there really wasn't another team out there for Lebron. LA is the perfect storm for him basically, especially with Bronny now in a much more significant fold

    I don't know what can be done. But I'm sure someone can think of something. Whether that something can get approved by the players association is another matter.

    Looking at tankathon.com's projections right now, LA could forfeit at least a top 10 pick to Memphis this year, possibly (8.5%) a top 4 pick. lol that's wild.

    My thoughts are the team and its fans are getting exactly what they deserve.

    I sympathize with their fans though—I mean I’m sure they’re wondering why the Lakers can’t win a Super Bowl after seeing the Rams win one. Lol

    I can't fault them. LA sports media and Lakers fans are the most hateful, entitled, stupid and toxic SOBs in all of sports.

    Why is LeBron doing less with Westbrook and AD
    Than
    Harden did with Westbrook alone?

    LeBron is in the idgaf phase of his career whereas James was still chasing his first ring. Before the season, the bar is probably set at just making the playoffs. He don’t need more rings. He’s just stat padding at this point (all time scoring leader). Now that this team can barely claw into the playoffs and people are rightfully pointing at the Lakers’ failures BronBron is getting butt hurt.
