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.

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

It’s not age. Lebron has been in league longer- if he’d taken max every year his max would be higher.
The issue is he didn’t take the max every year. He took less in Miami and when you add the % more he can get after each year it adds up to this.

This roster is already better than the Cav's, so nothing really changes.. he just faces GS in the WCF instead of the finals.

I’m not sure I’ve seen one cavs fan that cares he’s leaving. Obviously no one likes the lakers because their fans are babies but everyone’s cool with Lebron leaving
no I meant cavs as in cavs organisation. lebron literally gave all his friends these big horrible contracts and then left

None of those stars were playing in the same era as the greatest team in NBA history.

No it isn't. Ingram, Kuzma, and Ball are still raw and unproven (Ball could just plain suck).

Okay, Lakers fixed themselves, so please for the love, find a way to fix the damn Knicks. Maybe wrong thread for this rant, but I see so many more years of pain for some of the best fans in the world.
