Please.

You'd be swinging on his nuts after his first triple double.


I live in Southern California and can tell you he is not popular at all amoungst laker fans. I can easily see why they wouldn't want him. It would be one of those situations where they would cheer for him solely cause he is on the roster but not cause they like him

I won't get into all the hyperbole stuff the other poster posted, but I'm not on the "yay lebron to the Lakers" Wagon either. The guy is going to be 34 with alot of miles on him. I don't know if it'll be worth it at that point to pay him all that money.

Cleveland fans burned Lebron's jersey when he left but were swinging from street lights and eating horse manure when he returned. If Lebron went to LA he'd instantly be the 2nd best player of all time behind Kobe.

Lebron would never pass Magic/Capt/or Shaq here either.

I said greatest of all time, not greatest in LA history (there actually is a difference). Former Lakers seem to always get a nice bump in their best of all time lists.

I cant believe we are going to have to go through this constant he said she said "I heard this out of their camp" stuff for another 11 months.

Trying to connect the dots to LA because KCP shares the same agent as him is flat out click bait out of boredom. You know who shares the same agent as LeBron? Tristan Thompson and JR Smith. I hereby report by the authority of myself "LeBron James favoring CLE because they have more players managed by his agency than LA does"

Also, you know where LeBrons agency is ran out of? Cleveland, OH. Put my report on WT please!

And this is exactly why LeBron wouldn't go to LA.

The one thing we know for sure about LeBron is that he makes these types of decisions bearing his legacy in mind - why would he want to go to a franchise that wouldn't even have him as a top 3 player all time?

Just going there would spur the "where does LeBron rank among Lakers".

The reality is that he's already passed anyone who has ever dawned a Laker jersey save for maybe KAJ.

LeBron will even make Lonzo better ..... I do not see Lebron dominating the ball like he does with the Cavs now.

No thanks.


Hilarious. A team turning down the chance to have Lebron on their team...

you guys got to think its tampering a year in advance and honestly ask this question dan gilbert would go crazy if lebron or his agent was talking to lakers about lebron he was asked silver and investagation if it was true. The penalty would be losing draft picks for the lakers trust me none of that stuff happened and it was about kcp.

Going to be a long season hearing about this

Lebron gets to the finals, takes another L, adds an A to that L, and lives out the rest of his career in Hollywood.

With all this stuff out there already, it's foolish to think he'd return to the Cavs after this season. He should pull a PG and tell Dan he's leaving/request a trade. Doubt that happens b/c it'll be an easy path to the finals. Plus he'll probably need to get a few other guys like PG/Cuz/whoever to commit first ala Miami big 3.

The funniest part of this whole 'storyline' is that no one is even questioning why LeBron would need to reach out to the Lakers. If LeBron wants to be on the Lakers he'll say so when he's a free agent, and they'll right a giant check. This is not a situation that needs to be in the works for over a year.

I'm sure the Cavs talked to LeBron in advance of free agency when he came home. It's too easy to tamper and it's too hard to catch.

This post is fake news. LeBron's agent is talking to the Lakers about another one of his players. The video itself doesn't say anything of the sort. Title of the thread should be changed as it is factually inaccurate.

That's different. He's from there and Cavs fans loved and adored him prior to that decision. Laker fans generally have never even liked Lebron let alone love him

Lol. The vast vast majority of Lakers fans are causal fans. They'll rally behind Lebron as if he was their own child

Just in case the Lakers front office is colossally stupid and didn't already know they'd need to?
