LABron James Discussion: The Final Year?

Maybe

 

Maybe? LOL good job throwing it up there though with the commentary.

 

I hate this AI krap. It is going to get worse and worse. You just will never know what is true or not.

 

the first question you ask yourself: did sirron post it?

 

Is this AI generated too ?

 

No, thats s real live narcissist trying to get attention.

 

I’d say this serves as confirmation that he’s returning. You don’t go through this ad campaign only to announce you’ve already played your last game.

 

He's playing 2 more years barring career ending injury this year. Have said it before. Bryce comes into the league next spring to whatever team and IMO for the family experience of being in the league at the same time with Bronny he's going to want that for Bryce too whether on different teams or not. Plus he's said this past year he's capable of playing more than one more year. Deal with it haters.

 

as long as year two is at the vet min, i'm in!!

 

Sure .... that'll happen

 

Lebron disagrees with “Ring Culture” only because he doesn’t have more.

well, he's also talking to steve nash there, so it would be pretty rude to advocate the other position, lol.

he's also not wrong. measuring single players by team accomplishments is a little weird to me. like if you're good enough to be the sole star to drag your team to an nba finals and then get stomped by a team with more firepower (barkley, young lebron, young dirk, luka, etc.) this doesn't diminish your value. it probably demonstrates it.

some guys just never get the health, the right teammates, etc. to line up at the right time. like if jordan doesn't "retire", is olajuwon ringless? does that change his value?

 

its a little different since we have luka now, but I always thought lebron's window closed the year we signed russ and wasted threw another season away.


Russ was by far Rob's worst move as a laker GM regardless how much lebron pushed for it. Over letting go of zubac.

 

Lebron and AD were both hurt during Westbrook's time here. The window was still wide open, when Tinkerbell choked in the Conference Finals. We probably should have kept those contracts we acquired from the 2nd Russ trade. We would have been in a better position, to make some roster moves in the next season.

 

exactly the sort of thing not having deep-pocketed owners causes. this would have been terrible financially, but very helpful competitively.

 

Look what I found

 

what? he seems happy about it. Probably deserved it, and he knows it.

 

Why are you STILL talking? Don't you have a solitaire game to get back to?

Looks like there will be a bidding war for Bron after he retires


Considering Stephen A is the loudest voice on ESPN and he's been unhappy at times with how ESPN not only covers him, but covers basketball i think they'd only be used as a leverage play to get the Bezos offer up. With Amazon, he could help shape how they cover the sport since they'll still be in their NBA infancy.

That's if he even wants to do that or if there's time between retirement and the league expansion when he's going to try to head a group that buys a team. Rumors are picking up that expansion could be coming sooner than later...especially with these recent sells helping raise the price for those teams.
