Ever hear of false equivalency? Lebron joined a lottery team that without Kawhi may actually have trouble grabbing a 3 or 4 seed. VERY VERY different than joining a 73 win team that barely lost in game 7 of the finals to supernova Lebron.


KDs was a basketball move at least.

Lebron just went to the Lakers to live in LA

Certainly a better situation than he had in Cleveland. At least the guy has some balls and went to another team where he is the focal point instead of a sidekick like Durant did.

Don’t worry that’s just the salt in them showing and just another weak sneak diss at the Lakers. Magic and Rob know what they are doing and I expect them to make other moves

If they get Kawhi 100% contender. If they don't I just don't see much outside of Lebron unless multiple guys take big leaps. I'm more shocked he's willing to go west.

He went to the Lakers, who happened to be in the west :D

Cavs will barely win 20 games, so I don’t see this happening any time soon.


I agree with this. Cavs may be one of the worst teams in the NBA. I can see the Lakers winning 50 games next year.

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.

That being said, I'm glad he gave me a reason to despise him and the Lakers again. It's been too long.

I mean what's the difference if he faces GS in the finals or the Western conference finals...?
The Lakers roster is already better than the Cav's roster as-is.

I think the Cavs will win closer to 30 but no doubt the Lakers will be the better team. I'd be shocked if Lebron didn't make the playoffs

I would literally bet my house that this won't happen. Not sure exactly how good the Lakers with LeBron will be because of other potential moves or growth of the Lakers young players but one thing is for sure, the Cavs without LeBron will be terrible.
