| Post subject: | Lebron James 2023/2024 Season : Taking talents to... |
Post game after the loss tonight was fairly damning. He did not talk as if he owned or controlled the franchise in LA at all. He made it clear he doesn't know what this season meant for this team next year. He made it clear he will only play basketball if there is a title involved. I think he made it pretty clear he is not returning to LA unless they make some crazy big moves. So where will he go? Lebron back to miami? Would he actually go to golden state? With his statements, I extremely doubt chicago would be in the running... he's not looking for a rebuild. He will go somewhere that's an obvious contender. Might he be in Denver? This will be another crazy summer that's for sure. |

I saw the beginning of it and heard ME ME ME , I, I, I, no mention of Team. i wouldn't doubt if he packs up and leaves to another team. that's his entire career . |

He was even asked if it was a fun ride, in so many words.. and he basically said no it wasnt. Much more behind the scenes in LA that we haven't heard about, thats for sure. Obviously they didnt give him the team he asked for last off season. He also said "that coaching staff blah blah..." yeah dude, there was no 'us' in your words tonight lol. I have no idea about what other teams cards may be... but with lebron you can pretty much throw any rules out the window. I wouldn't even be surprised if milwaukee trades giannis for lebron at this point. But honestly, if he really wants a title, go back to miami. With that front office, and jimmy still in his prime next year, that would be a very hard team to beat. But I could see him going to golden state too, because having curry would take a huge part of his responsibilities away, but they are also getting old. Miami is young with a very high chance of being better next year. |

Miami is young with a very high chance of being better next year. the thing w/ lebron has always been HE'S THE GM. He tells the pretend GM what trades to make. Just this year he wanted to get rid of AD for Kyrie. And when it didnt happen he was disappointed. AD was like wtf. I keep hearing Kyrie but why would you want this guy. It's not 2015. The guy is a team killer. I think at this point he wants to get 5 or 6 to match kobe and MJ. He's getting old and he needs someone's coattails to get those rings now. |

well yea, i mean i would too. hes gotta get at least one more, or that 8 PEAT video will go down forever in comedy hell. just really curious where he *should* go. if it is milwaukee, could they keep giannis? thats the only way i could see him wanting to do it, but how could they possibly do that. maybe philly? get rid of harden, and he will have this year's MVP to play with... that could be good. I really have no idea what he should do. No team this year was leaps and bounds better than anyone else... |

i dont think thats in his mind at all. chicago would be a terrible choice. they would have to give up at least derozen or lavine, and then who would else come in? nobody better than them, and even if he got to keep those guys they have no bench or coaching staff that matters. maybe the clippers. he wouldnt have to move, and they would gladly release westbrook, a guy who clearly didnt play well with lebron. but it would have to be some 3 way trade because westbrook undoubtedly has no interest going back to the lakers. maybe that's how chicago gets westbrook...... shit, maybe thats how derozen and lenord get back together... |

If LTG were here, he'd tell you that all stars "taking their talents to" somewhere doesn't work anymore and hasn't worked for awhile. Miami has 3 undrafted guys playing meaningful minutes. |

Lakers have nothing to be ashamed of but their road in the playoffs was lucky with an inexperienced Sac followed by a beat up Suns team who had zero time to get connectivity with Durant. |

LeBron is still one of the best players in the NBA at 40. He needed Street Clothes to help him carry the load. Tristan Thompson played with more heart. |

Austin Reaves was the heart of that team. Yeah, he wasn't afraid of the moment. A 90 year old LeBron guarded Jokic better than Street Clothes. Street Clothes looked dejected every time Jokic bent him over. |

The Suns team by nature is brittle - fossil at PG and transitioning fossil at SF (Durant). That's on the GM. |

Of course after such an embarrassing series he now wants people to be thinking about his possible retirement. Then when he says he is playing again next year he will look like the conquering hero coming back for another run. |

Not Michael should try to attach himself to yet another great talent rather than having the talent attach to him. Beta |

A lebron boot licker? Like i said before, lebron fans the most insecure and most toxic. just like lebron himself. good dolphin wrote: Not Michael should try to attach himself to yet another great talent rather than having the talent attach to him. Beta That's his entire career. That's like when MJ came back and lost to Shaq and Penny , instead of trying to beat Shaq and Penny the next year, he would go join Shaq and Penny. But he didnt and got a 3 peat. LeBron is a basketball whore. |

The Knicks are the favorites at 3/1 on betonline.ag in the event he doesn't return to LA or retire. I'd like to either see him run it back with AD and Kyrie or if they cannot get Kyrie -- retire for one season, get healthy with that $1 or $2 million he spends every year on his body and then come back to play for whatever team drafts Bronny (hopefully that team is a contender). |
