Lebron to Lakers
- Thread starter akaukswoosh

Damnit I can’t believe he did that. Oh well, can’t like him anymore. That roster as it is isn’t any better than Cleveland’s. His finals streak ends this year.
Guess he is done ring chasing. He will never win another title.
It’s on ESPN.
Dude isn’t even gonna make the Finals now. May not make it to the WCF, even, if Houston stays intact.
Whoever leaked this and ruined the hour long ESPN special is in a lot of trouble.
It's all over the place now.
I get the draw of LA, but from purely non-basketball angles. Unless they have something else up their sleeve (and now CP3 is firmly with Houston), Lebron won't win another title..

Couldn’t pay me enough to put up with Ball’s dad
James continues to prove how much of a narcissistic ahole he really is. The Lakers are garbage, they’ll be the 6th or 7th best team in the West. I hope Cleveland wins the title before the Lakers do.
Must have left money on the table for Magic to go after someone else? Cousins, Kawhi-both maybe?
Or Dad’s balls for that matter.
I tend to agree, even as a Lakers fan.
That said, if they acquire Cousins and he stays healthy and they trade Leonard near trade deadline ( and they wont have to give up as much then to do it), they are the only team that is really close to the Warrors. Too many ifs there for me at present though so at present...just nice to be in the playoffs. Lebron makes the Lakers the 4th best team in the West IMO behind GS, Houston and Thunder...maybe better than Thunder.
That said, I have to imagine Lebron didn't sign with LA just to get thumped by GSW and Houston.. There's more coming. He's a pretty saavy business man, at least as far as basketball players go.. He'll get some sort of talent to go with him. Butler, Boogie, Capela, etc..
The Lakers can just sign Boogie and keep all those players. He is a free agent. They may send those guys for Leonard though in due time.
This is kind of bizarre. Other than being in LA, what the heck is the draw? Could have gotten more money and the team is terrible. Did they tell him about a secret plan to build a super team nobody else knows about yet?
If he does it on his own with no other stars added to the roster, I am totally fine with the move even though he left the Cavs. He has a right to play where he wants.
Having said that, I just don't see him making the move without another star on the way. I could be wrong but I don't think he signs with the Lakers if he didn't know that Kawhi or another star was coming.

They aren't terrible. If not for injuries last year, they probably go about .500 at 41-41 IMO. Adding Lebron is a big jump in wins with him just by himself. And the Lakers are not done FYI...just remains to be seen with who.
This is going to be weird. Lebron in LA. Cue the tape: "Kareem is not walking through that door, Magic is not walking through that door, Shaq is not walking through that door, Kobe is not walking through that door....CP3 and Paul George are not walking through that door, Kyrie is not walking through that door...." I think you're right, he may never see another finals.
I remember thinking about LA versus Cavs last year.. If you take Lebron off the Cavs, they are far worse than what the Lakers are. Lakers become the 3 seed, and I bet quite easily (as far as talent goes, ego's are another thing).
I can't imagine Boston fans right now. Their hated will be through the roof.. Already don't like Lebron.. Now he's on the Lakers. Plus the whole African-American thing..

I can hear it now. “The opportunity to play with my boy and have him help LeBron win another ring was just to much for him to pass up.” [sick]
<——anxious to see Lebron and lavar go at it over his boy not getting the rock.
I’m sure lamelo will be in charge of getting them Gatorade while they work out

Good point. LA is a two team city so maybe he’s tired of carrying an entire city/state.
People were so triggered by his last hour special that raised money for kids, its doubtful he'd do it again. Gotta protect the snowflakes.
He doesn't need the money. He would rather them surround him with a good supporting cast.
Boogie would have to get up and down the floor more quickly. Doesn’t quite fit the style-but he could adjust if he wanted to. Would liek to see Kawhi, Boogie and James on the same team-would be a great defensive team.
He’s no more less mobile than Kevin Love.
Lebron is doing things his way and people hate him for it. Got his hometown team a trophy, played with friends and got a couple rings, and now he gets to play in L.A. for a storied franchise. Why are people hating on him? Guy is living the dream.
Okay maybe a different lineup minus George then. He's gonna need more than what he's got to beat the GSW.
