As a Lebron fan, I'm disappointed. I wanted to see him compete for more rings (which Philly was ideal for).

Looks like he made this move because his wife wanted to live in LA. There is no way he is going to compete with GSW or Houston with any team LAL puts together.

That the first domino effect for the Lakers. Now, the Spurs are in trouble and other teams will be extremely cautious about trading for Kawhi. With Lebron on the Lakers, they ensure to be at least competitive in the playoff and with 1 year to go, Kawhi can easily join him and like I said before, if the Lakers youth develop further, they can be a very dangerous team with Lebron+Kawhi+Ingram+Ball.

So, does this mean the Lakers won't re-sign Isaiah?

Dumb contracts like Tristan Thompson and JR must have been the last straw. Now the Cavs are screwed.

Interested to see what happens with our guys now. Honestly hope we trade Love for picks and tank it this year so we can keep our own pick but I think Gilbert has way too much pride for that unfortunately.


Let Love get 26/13 til Feb, then trade.

Cavs could contend int he East with Love. No reason to blow that team up

Every star(besides Elgin Baylor) that has worn the Purple and Gold won a championship. There is pressure for LeBron to win in LA.

Not buying the whole thing it's not about contending for a title anymore.

Not really.

BOS if healthy is clearly the best team in the East. Half of our "core" is coming out of their prime (in Ibaka's case wayyyyy past it) while BOS and PHI are only ascending.

Doesn't mean Boston can't be beat. Plus the Pacers will get better and Oladipo even better next year. That's 3 or 4 teams that have a chance of making the finals unlike the previous 8 years where you always knew it was "the team with Lebron".


Pacers aren't beating BOS lol

BOS will be the deepest team with all-star level talent at each position. I'm fairly confident that the #1 defensive team getting a sudden jolt of offense in their best ballhandler/scorer (Kyrie) and shooter (Hayward) while both of their young guys only get better will be heavy favorites at minimum to come out the East (least we mention future picks that they draft or trade for another great player). If they don't it would likely be due to injury.

I would like to welcome all Lakers fans to the Los Angeles Lebrons. Don't forget to shelve your Kobe agenda in the basement.
