LeBron declines player option (entering free agency) 

Post#1 » by ImaBeatDatAzz » Sat Jun 22, 2024 3:33 pm

So if we so happen to draft bronny.. will lebronto really come here? :o

Just imagine. Realistically though it’s a multi year deal with Lakers or maybe even back to Cavs

Until we actually hear that he's serious about going anywhere else, him opting out was always going to happen one way or the other.

They just hired his coach and spent the past month bringing Bronny into the franchise...let's be serious here, he's not going anywhere and if he did good lawd would the Lakers ever be screwed lol but I HIGHLY, HIGHLY doubt it.

if he wants to go back to the finals then the East is his best option....he's not doing any damage in the West with the Lakers

Back to Miami to play with Butler would be kinda awesome. But in all likelihood he just re-signs in LA. He's always maintained his flexiibility.

As long as Riley is there, Lebron ain’t ever gonna consider Miami lol

He’s getting three years max with opt out and no trade from LA. If they waffle at all, out comes the story about thinking about the 76ers. Then a day later the announcement that he is back in LA.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

LeGM wants Bronny drafted at #17.

LeBron James will basically not win a championship and leave this franchise bare to the bone if he did by some miracle come here. Big no.

I have my popcorn out ready to watch how far back Reddick's hairline recedes as he tries to coach James.

He has no chance at a championship unless he goes back to the East though where he was for most of his career imo. He should join the 76ers. That's how he kind of won his past championships by joining border top 5 players in the league.

Lakers hiring JJ and Lebron leaving would be kinda hilarious
