Not sure that LBJ opting out means he’s 100% out the door, though. He’s basically retaining control over his situation, and forcing Cleveland to keep trying to improve.
Like I said, completely predictable outcome. Totally saw this coming.
It is one of those things like looks completely obvious after the fact
One of the things I saw in an article was that his wife has been checking out the LA area for about a year. Most players with everything else being equal are going to want an area they have a connection(e.g. hometown) or a top city in the world(LA/NY maybe Chicago).
While there is a pressure on LeBron to perform and win, there is a ton of pressure on the Lakers. LeBron has proven he can carry a team to the finals(in the East anyway) and win a championship. A failure will be mostly on the Lakers failing to build around LeBron. If they manage to pry Leonard from the Spurs, I think they are in relatively good shape. I am a little underwhelmed with what they have done so far(other than LBJ): Stevenson, KCP and McGee.
