    Could be this year. But sometime soon Lebron is going to start tarnishing his career and start playing much worse.

    I think after 5 more years at least lol. Lebron is honestly built like a tank. It’s pretty unreal what he’s been capable of doing. Lebron would have had more rings if AD wasn’t fragile.

    I’m sad Lebron and Steph didn’t link up this year somehow, would have been amazing as an NBA fan to witness.

    So does this mean they've given up on signing anyone else?

    Lebron's paycut offer was always fake - he issued it for 3 players who were unlikely to go to the Lakers and they were all gone within a few hours of FA starting

    There is talk about him taking about ~$1 million less to keep the LA LeBrons under the second apron. We'll see.

    LeBron has always wanted to own an NBA franchise. He already does and hasn't even finished playing.

    Oef...glad I'm not a Lakers fan. Guess the owner makes more than enough in jersey sales and fans coming to games and what not from having that name in a uniform every night to justify the costs of Lebron's salary.

    I hope he does own a franchise, it will be one more team the Rockets can perennially beat up on like the east teams do to the Hornets.

    Does anybody think the Fakers are crazy enough to take on Lavine's contract in a S&T for Demar Derozan (3 years, $45M) esp. if Bulls tacked on two picks?

    Yeah... me neither

    [​IMG]



    But if they did....

    Lavine + Derozan + 2027 CHI FRP (top 5 protected) + 2028 SRP for Russell + Hachimura + Vanderbilt + JHS + Reddish + Lewis

    Lavine - Vincent - Bronny
    Reaves - Christie
    Derozan - Knecht
    Lebron - Wood
    Davis - Hayes

    Starting 5 = legit; bench = awful + no real moves for the next 3 years

    Lerbon Wants To Be The Face Of Las Vegas Expansion Team

    While discussing LeBron James taking a two-year contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, the subject of the Lakers superstar's future came up. It seems likely that James is taking things year-to-year with his contracts for the rest of his career.

    ESPN's Brian Windhorst said that health will be the biggest determining factor in how long James plays for. However, the second-biggest factor is when the NBA plans to expand.

    “The biggest thing, other than health, that we’re gonna see that is going to determine when the end of LeBron’s career is when the owners of the league set forth a timeline about when they’re gonna establish that expansion team in Las Vegas,” Windhorst said. “I suspect once the TV rights deals get wrapped up … they’re gonna bring expansion to the table.”

    Windhorst then added, “(James) wants to partner with partners to become the face of the franchise in Las Vegas.”

    NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has repeatedly said that the league would turn towards expansion when the media rights deals are completed. Those deals seem like they'll be signed fairly soon. Silver has mentioned several cities have expressed interest in having NBA teams, prominently among them are Seattle and Las Vegas.

    I don't know much about the business world but suspect LeBron's networth is actually greater than the current Lakers ownership when accounting for everything even off the record assets.
