Actually Lebron to Phoenix for CP3 and Crowder would be great for both teams I think lol.

Why would any up and coming team want Lebron? They dysfunction? The $44M contract? Probably not going to get along with the coach. Probably going to tell the GM to trade every player under 25 for a Klutch client.

It is similar to Draymond where he is better off where he is because its not going to work anywhere else. Draymond knows he's going to sign that PO. Lebron knows he can't get everything he wants anywhere else, and he can always blame Pelinka for the roster.....


LeBron got along with Mike Brown, Eric Spoelstra, Ty Lue and Frank Vogel.

LeBron also isn't tradeable this season due to when he signed the extension, and LeBron had full autonomy and control over when he signed the extension, something we can decipher as LeBron wanting to stay in LA--through thick and thin.

But, regardless of these facts you will ignore, LeBron has significantly more value than WB. Thanks for the new SIGG35, you are a treasure.


You just made my point.

That is a lot of coaches to get along with, how many coaches has he had?. Not quite Jordan and Phil, Duncan and Pop, Kobe and Phil

Where is Vogel now? Lebron didn't speak up much in support of Frank. We all know coaches don't last long around Lebron.

Lebron liked Mike Brown so much he left after winning back to back 60+ games.

There are several sources that said Lebron James tried to get Spoelstra fired.
https://firstsportz.com/nba-lebron-james-tried-to-get-him-fired-miami-heat-co-owner-reveals-dark-truth-surrounding-erik-spoelstra-and-the-king/

Ty Lue only coaches because he will do anything Lebron tells him to do and once Lebron left CLE Lue didn't last much longer.

But what about Luke Walton? What about David Blatt?

Further, the market determines value, who else will give Lebron a $40M contract? Who else will make Lebron their #1 or #2 option?

Even more relevant, where would Lebron want to go? Back to CLE? Not happening. Back to MIA? Not happening. Any place that Lebron would want to go would require Lebron to make a significant change to how he plays the game.

That is why Lebron didn't want to go anywhere else. He wants to keep jacking up 1-10 on three's to get to the scoring title and the Lakers allow him to do that...do you know Lebron has started the season 5-18 on 3PA, that leads the league. Lebron has limited options, some self-imposed and some is the market dictating.....
I'm so tired of the typical......

Anyone else think back to what could have been if Kyrie wasn't such a head case?

Have the Lakers floated LeBron trade rumors or has LeBron requested a trade without me hearing about it? Totally confused why we’re discussing his trade value.

Imagine unironically posting this knowing the Lakers lost their HCA the whole playoffs and that actual NBA players called it the hardest ring ever won :lol:. Couldn't be me still peddling a weak take like this
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord

That did not happen.

I said that the series could be tougher then you guys thought. I never thought the Lakers would lose.

I was wrong either way, so whatever. I bombed on that one (yes), but let’s keep the recollections accurate, guy.

This would be easier to stomach if he was on the Cavs. I honestly can't stand the Lakers fanbase.

Don’t go to the Lakers board on here unless you want to be instantly pissed off. The fanbase is truly insufferable.

A lot of it has to do with them being historically spoiled, any other franchise fanbase would still be living off the high of a championship win if they won one as recently as 2 years ago. I see a lot of "unless LeBron wins us 2+ rings he should be barely considered a Laker" from them...

He should’ve went to the Clippers when he had the option. Now he’s stuck playing for the most incompetent GM and owner of the entire league.
Thanks for all the great memories, LeBron! The show must go on! #Heatnation

Lakers were always likely to drop 6 of their first 7 games..

No need to panic, they've had the toughest schedule and it will continue.

I feel like you preached no need to panic for large parts of last season. I don’t think anyone is panicking this go round. Most do not even expect this team (as currently constructed) to even make the playoffs.
