Don't be so sure.

Isn't he on a fat contract in Portland? Better to get Cousins.

Wow. 3 +1 kinda seems like he's willing to end his career there.

So is there a chance the Spurs have a trade request on the table that the Lakers will accept tomorrow?

There were a LOT of Lakers fans pissed about that Mozgov trade, and clearly that was an A+ in hindsight.


I don't think anything swayed LeBron
He clearly wanted to come to LA and him signing a 4y deal (after those 1+1 for his hometown...) without the promise of any star joining him is pretty telling

4 year contract. Lebron taking Kareem's record. Needs to average 1770 points per season and at 82 games he would have to average 21.6 points per game.

Time for this narrative now?

Laker fanbase can't win.

It goes from "haha you can't get FAs" to "haha you can't appreciate your FA".

I'm looking forward to seeing what the jelly salt crew brings tomorrow.

I think LeBron can play him until 37 at a reasonably high level.

The only problem is that the Lakers roster needs major upgrades to actually compete. I personally think LeBron is there just for business. He wants to be become the king of LA and focus on his basketball merchandising/branding empire.

It's honestly better than what they had in 2010, but man, that Kyrie trade is now officially one of the worst ever.

I have been on #TeamLebron since last season and particularly, against the backdrop of his epic PS run where he mastered offense. Lebron passed Kobe (my favorite player of all time, no surprise) at the latest in 2016, so no conflict for me in the slightest. That is a dead debate, and anybody trying to resuscitate it at this stage are denying reality.

With that being said, let's get that winning on :rocking: :rocking:

Really interested in seeing how Lebron and Lonzo mesh

LeBron wants to retire a Laker and have the most points scored in history surpassing Kareem who did it with the Lakers.
