LA is going to be a f***ing circus with all their pro teams. And college teams. Perfect for LA. Hopefully fans actually show up to the Rams games. They might be the best team in the NFL on paper.

Remember that time when the Lakers got Dwight Howard, Kobe, Pau, Ron Artest and Steve Nash?

LOL

Congrats on signing 34 year old LeBron James fellas, but I wouldn't put the champagne on ice just yet.

i think HOU and GSW bounce them

Depends.... If you thought the Cavs last year would of stood a chance at a championship if Houston had come out of the West then that Lakers squad is a contender cause that roster is much better then the Cavs

Been a Rams fan since 98 (i was 5) and was sad to see them go for LA but Kroenke always wanted to move and build his stadium. That being said it was sad to see how empty alot of the games were last year even though we had a good team, the bandwagoners will come if they start hot this year

Clarkson and Nance just now realizing what LeGM did.
Literally 10 steps ahead.

Windhorst is on NBA.com purchasing a 5XL Laker jersey as we speak.

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.

LeBron's a better player, but Kobe's a better Laker, and LBJ would need to do some amazing things in the next four years (and probably more) to budge that needle.

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!

wish there were more fans of other teams like you... great post

cheers!

Nerlens Noel is a garbage player. Why are some Lakers fans excited for him?

They're more athletic than the Cavs cast but I think they were poor 3-point shooting team.

Either Lebron is going to have to change the way he plays -- space out the floor with shooters all around the court -- or he's going to demand catch and shoot marksmen who may not be as dynamic playmakers or defenders.

Winner
