Woj: LeBron James To Lakers For 4 Yr/154 Mil

OrlandoMagic · Post #301 » by **OrlandoMagic** » Mon Jul 2, 2018 12:32 am

The way I see it is Lakers will have to probablyngp through a combination of Pelicans/Utah/GS/Houston to reach the finals... This might be the first time in his career he will have solid competition from the 1st rd of the playoffs. Really interested to see how this works out for him.

Its clear Lebron really didnt focus much on Basketball when making this decision. I guarantee you, in his presser, he'll mention that his Family had a lot to do with this decision.

He was gonna go to LA regardless of what else the Lakers decide to do this offseason

It's crazy how spoiled some of y'all are over there. Your franchise has won 5 championships in the last 20 years, but you act like Cubs fans during the 100 year drought.

The next few years can either be a disaster or it will put him back in the GOAT convo

getting by HOU and GSW will be tough.

its all geography. has nothing to do with their front office, coaching, scouts, or the team they have built. the true MVP is whoever moved the team to LA many years ago. magic did nothing.

Its incredible, how in just one hour, the SALT on this board flipped from Laker fans to NBA fans.

I LOVE IT.

He's right though lol its all about location

I think I get it now.

A couple hours ago, LA was not a true FA destination, and that small markets were on top, etc etc.

Now, its geographical location.

I hope this discount Jason Kidd bum gets traded. Can't stand having his dad in the news 24/7. Hopefully that's one thing Bron had to squash.

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.

Gilbert isn’t stupid. Prideful but not stupid. They will tank.

Ball
Ingram
Lebron
Kuzma
Randle

That's a 55 win team. Throw in DMC and it's a WCF+ team.

the lakers won 35 games last year. lebron adds 20 wins?

Ingram and Ball missed a combined 53 games. Ball and Kuzma were rookies.

Now they are all a year older and with Lebron. 20 game improvement is optimistic but not crazy.

its crazy

I doubt anyone's happier than the city of Toronto at the moment.
