What I am starting to believe is that LeBron doesn't give a shit. If the Lakers put a championship team around him great, if not he doesn't care either. He just wants to live and work in Los Angeles. He's kind of throwing in the towel on his competitive career and wants to enjoy the social aspect of being an NBA star.

I dont know how he's going to feel about being on a team that flat-out sucks though. What's he going to do if its January and the Lakers are below .500 and clinging to playoff hopes? Has he ever been booed by his own fans before? I mean obviously Cleveland let him have it but he was wearing a different uniform. Night-in-night-out at the Staples Center getting shit on by fans who very much expected LeBron to carry them to a title and are very upset that he may not even get them to the playoffs (I dont care what FF says, this is a distinct possibility)...I think he's way to fragile to take that.

Knew it.

Les is gonna really shit up the studio now.

Lmao. Dogshit sport.

I usually hate the Warriors but I'll be rooting for them next year to win the west.

Cousind injury is a huge wildcard but if healthy he’s so good he fits any systems. He would be awesome with LeBron

I dont understand sports stars. I dont understand what he is chasing after you win one for your hometown. I wouldnt have left in the first place.

The guy sees the value in using his foundation to build a school for at risk youth in Cleveland but somehow prioritizes whatever it is about his career, over staying in a city that has essentially zero identity without him.

yeah he is good and all, but he is not enough with Lebron to get past the Warriors and win it all. And I think Lebron would tire of Cousins and his attitude quite quickly.

That's what drives a lot of the love affair with LeBron: this idea that he's just a big goofy kid having fun with his friends and not a sociopathic assassin. (He could, in theory, be my friend! or at least cordial with me?) They need to believe that not only is LeBron better than Jordan, he's better without even trying. When the Lakers are a second-round out, watch the usual cocksuckers say that LeBron's brave decision to put his family's comfort and business concerns ahead of something as trifling as a children's game is what truly proves he's better than Jordan.

Cousins is so much more ridiculously talented than anyone the Cavs had last year I can’t see that being an issue.

Agreed, when he was healthy.

Achilles injuries are nasty tho. The injury is probably especially worrisome when the tendon is attached to a 6' 11" 280lb human who's never been shy about leading a fast break.

Besides, how many "personalities" can one team have, really?

Lebron's Cavs were 15-15 against the West.

There's no way SA lays down for the Lakers.

At this moment, the ceiling seems high for a Laker clusterfuck.

Word out of Cleveland is that earlier this morning Tyronn Lue was promoted to Head Coach.

It should be interesting to see if he can win yet another championship.

People were calling Burger's career over after an Achilles but an even bigger guy in a sport more demanding on that part of the body will be just fine

People already covering for LeBron quitting

They also are setting a really low bar so he can OVERCOME and show how great he is. He's playing on a team of toddlers with head injuries and JR SMITH(who LeBron had them sign to a max deal in 2020)!

I thought you guys said Margary was a decent writer? That was a LeBron bukkake fest article .

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

He probably has a quota of LeBron articles to write.

This pretty much ends Lonzo's career in LA. His game does not compliment Lebron's at all.

yeah, lebron's shoes are only like $200 something. medium-sized baller at best.

I've actually become more critical of Thibs than I used to be - he's got issues.

My main point here is not so much Minnesota specifically, but that the Lakers probably don't have enough to compete for a second round appearance in the playoffs, let alone for the WCF or Finals.
