LeBron is not gonna flirt with missing the playoffs next year.

Not sure I’d trust Boogie right now. If they get Kawhi and hes healthy and committed this team would scare the shit out of GS and maybe beat them. If they don’t get Kawhi I can’t see them competing for a title really but they will still easily make the playoffs.



Spurs would want ingram and kuzma, that team wouldn't get past houaton or GS.

Maybe LBJ is playing the long con and knows next season is a wash so he'll just pad stats for a year and wait for Kiwi and Durant to hit the open market after this season (I think KD is an FA then no?)

I believe that’s a very dumb opinion. Kawhi absolutely dismantled Houston when healthy. Add LeBron to his team and CP to Houston and it doesn’t change anything.

MANY of you are just completely wrong on Kawhi when healthy and motivated. This isn’t another running mate for LeBron. He stood toe to toe with the Durant Warriors and came out ahead when healthy because he’s that good.

Maybe he's ready to coast to the NBA sunset. It is odd he's giving them 3 years guaranteed.

Everyone sells out. Jordan would have never quit contending for bright lights and warm weather.

Just a heads up. The Kiwi stuff makes you sound chilidish and ridiculous.

He lost to Durant and OKC the year before.

They were winning game 1. Doesn't mean they were going to win the series.

Kid graduates HS in four years and LeBron goes wherever his son is drafted. Turns out its the Gary Payton scoop that did it, LeBron wants to be around his kid in LA.

I dont know how good 37 year old LeBron will be, but if he's still the same player (or something like it) it could result in the interesting scenario where his son is kinda bad, like not even a real prospect with NBA potential, but is drafted high because a team knows they'll get LeBron with him.


I think it is ridiculous people think it is a guarantee his son will be drafted in five or six years depending on if they end the one and done.

Greek freaks brother got drafted and he sucks.


Jordan's kids didn't do shit.

LeBron waited for them to prove their ability before marrying their mom. Smart businessman.

I'm surprised that he'd sign to play in the West. I thought that he'd duck that

Lakers are trash aside from LeBron and he's never proven that this "carry shitty team to playoffs" act can work outside the east. I think it's a moot point because Cousins will join him and even fit hey only wring half a season out of Boogie that'll be enough to push them in, but that team could easily miss the playoffs. Big Baller Brand is kind of a joke and is dwarved by the James Machine, but it's got just enough publicity and exists in the perfect era to be really disruptive to LeBron's image. If that happens it'll be a legendary self destruction that should prove more entertaining than anything LeBron has done on the court in years.

If he wanted to beat Golden State he would have joined the 76ers. I guess he just wanted to be on TMZ.

Notice the lack of fanfare compared to The Decision and I'm Coming Home. This is quasi-retirement for James, he's done trying to win.

You’re either underestimating how good LeBron is or underestimating how much one player impacts a basketball game. The Lakers are going to be very good next year even if thinks are rocky and don’t go as planned.

This team as presently constructed isn't a top 5 Western Conference team.

At 33/34 you think he'd capable of being that good every night? And if he you think he's willing to? Pouty LeBron has always gotten his way in the past but who knows if that'll persist. Nobody has ever publicly challenged him when he does his little act, we don't know how he'll respond if BBB decides they won't be made pariahs for LeBron's failure.

I think that’s a crazy opinion. We may have another wager in our future my friend.

I’ve been a public supporter of Lonzo on here. I’m assuming they trade him this summer but if they don’t I expect BBB to be on their best behavior. If it comes down to it LeBron will get him out of town without even getting a return. He runs every team he’s on and I don’t expect that to change until he’s no longer a consensus top 5 player, which will be awhile imo.

They have to trade him because there is zero chance Lavar doesn't cause drama if he is around.

LeBron has no leverage, he's locked in for 2 years and who needs an aging diva after those 2 years he'll suck
