why are so many people mad? The breadcrumbs for this has been going on for a year? Your fault for dismissing it

Man, what a wild development; I really didn't think he was going to do it. It's not the best win-now spot, and I expected basketball to come first for him, but there's no way for me to know what I'd do in his situation, so I can't judge. LA does have some nice young players, and he obviously feels good about their chances of landing Kawhi and/or the right pieces in the next few years, so that's that.

It's going to be weird taking up for a Laker against the anti-LBJ crowd now, but it's no secret that a good percentage of that crew rolls purp-and-gold, so what happens with that sub-narrative is a quantity unkown; watching all this unfold will be fascinating.

In a way, it's win/win for the anti-LBJ Laker fans: either their team wins titles or they get to beat the 'Kobe>LeBron' drum even harder and we can't call them on it the same way because they can say 'hey, he's one of our own, we're just being objective'; in that sense, Laker Nation wins yet again, and as a Spurs fan, naturally I'm just super-thrilled for them.

Ha ha. On the real, this injects some much-needed drama and uncertainty into the league, so I'm pretty happy about it-- finally, some intrigue! It's going to be weird pulling for GS if we get an all-Cali playoff matchup between those two, but that's what I'll have to do-- especially if LA gets Kawhi.

Congratulations, Laker Nation!

Was never in question. I knew Bron was coming as soon as he made that proclamation. He basically told the Spurs u have no leverage....we are willing to wait until 2019. Kawhi Lebron and Magic are all on the same page.

LeBron and his coach were drafted the same year.

Kobe acting like he ain't big mad.

why would he? Lebron gets a couple of rings that wont stop kobe being a greatest laker.

Magic, Kareem, Wilt, Shaq, West all significantly better than Kobe. And now add LeBron.

I believe he'll wear #6

I hope he wears 9 or 25, just so I can watch the world burn.

More moves are coming.

KCP was expected. I'd guess Nerlens Noel is likely. Hopefully GM LeBron has learned his lesson about getting his guys longterm deals. Lol

Randle is gone, he doesnt care for the Lakers.

Nerlens Noel for 10-12m is next.

Without trades, youre looking at

Ball
KCP
Ingram
Lebron
Noel

Kuzma and JHart off the bench

Here's the good news. No more boring Cleveland/GSW warriors finals.

It may not take the lakers long to contend now, though. Sign Capela to a max and hope houston can't afford to match, then trade for Kawhi.

I feel for you guys but I don't think you can be mad at him this time. He delivered on the promise and there was nothing more he could do with your current team.

He should be cheaper than that

I can't imagine Ball as the PG of the Lakers with LeBron.
