Haha. What they meant is that it's his second home within Los Angeles. Since if you read the article it mentions another Los Angeles home that he bought previously in Brentwood.

Fail. It's obvious from the article they mean his second home within Los Angeles. Not total.

Yeah and wait for the reports when he puts up his first home for resale. He is basically just changing his surroundings since his first house was vandalized last year by racists and leaves a sour taste. Also pretty sure majority of nba players own a residence in LA be it an offseason base or for investment income. I remember when Lakers fans went crazy after Lamarcus Aldridge purchased a home and then gave the lakers two tries at recruiting him as a free agent which flopped. Lebron is friends with Dwight Howard despite that being hard to believe and he is well aware Dwight's career went down south when he got traded to Lakers and he left the team in free agency for many other reasons on top of his deteriorating relationships with Kobe and D'antoni.

Maybe this is purely a financial move, not basketball related at all.

We're so scared! Of 45 year old lebron joining lonzo balls shooting efficiency. What is he ranked out of 468 nba players? Oh right 468


Focusing on Lonzo Ball’s shooting efficiency is like being mad at Floyd Mayweather’s knockout numbers smh, you’re worrying about the wrong things.

Right, because shooting efficiency doesn't matter at all in today's NBA. :roll:
Go look back at the previous NBA champs. How many starred a PG with an ORTG of 87?

Comparing a lack of shooting efficiency to Floyd's lack of knockout power is ridiculous. A lack of shooting efficiency from a PG is like Floyd fighting without his left hand. It may not be his most important weapon, but it damn sure matters.

Dude is shooting 50% from the line. At this pace, he's a bigger Ricky Rubio.


Lmao :lol: not gonna take bigger Ricky Rubio as a slight but let me know when Rubio starts putting up these numbers

Among all PGs Lonzo is:

#1 in blocks
#3 in rebounds
#6 in assists
#10 in steals

As a 20 year old rookie. He can score, he proved that in college....now imagine him 2 years from now when he's more comfortable and has better players around him :nod: oh yeah they scuuuurrred!

While most of the points you make are indeed correct, we can’t just sweep the shooting under the rug as a blip either. It’s not that his shooting numbers are subpar, his TS% is historically low for an NBA player. He’s going to have to improve drastically just to reach subpar.

I assume he likes to throw a lot of parties. What i'm wondering is why he needs 9.5 bathrooms... Does he like to take a dump in a different bathroom every day of the week. In this case he still has 2.5 bathrooms too many... I guess those are reserved for guests. What is half a bathroom anyway?

Of course. Why would a perennial lottery team want a player who's made 7 straight finals? Losing is clearly the better direction.

We're more interested in winning championships than just attending them.

16 championships in total...not bad for a perennial lottery team.

And he's made 7 straight finals in the East. Big difference.

And paying a max contract to a guy exiting his prime, to surround him with guys 5-10 years from reaching theirs? No thanks.

So you're going with the Lebron is a loser who won't help us win crowns argument. I think you're in for a rude awakening the next few seasons but good luck.

No, please read again.

I'm going with the expensive guy exiting his prime playing with a bunch of young, undeveloped guys won't produce a championship argument.
