    He can win another one or two with us then we'll overpay him for services rendered ( so he can play with/against Bronny) as we did with Kobe and it will help us get the next best player in the league . Book it

    He looks like he can play 7 more years with the proper management of his playing time. Very Kareem like

    I think two more years of top five Bron and then he plays three more years as a top ten player and just decides to retire after.
    Lakers can't get complacent here. If they can get another superstar alongside AD+Bron, this is a title opportunity for the next five seasons. Man, imagine if we could get someone like Dame Dolla up in here? I wish he didn't sign that extension with Portland.

    I bet part of him is wishing he didn't sign it either.

    Pelinka has been clutch and I also find it uncanny that he looks like Rob Lowe

    The 2nd Rob doesn't look as good any more. Have been watching some Wild Bill on Acorn / Amazon Prime. (Aussie cop show)

    Man.. Can't Skip just say the Lakers handled their business & other Teams didn't..?
    If every NBA Champ that faced opposing Teams with injuries or didn't have to face a tougher opponent due to seeding or because the other Team choked in earlier Rounds had an asterisk next to their Title, there would be a Hell of a lot of asterisks in the NBA History Books..

    Suck It Skip.. GO LAKERS..!!!

    Deep down, Skip knows he loves Lebron... LeBron is the only reason sports media isn't boring. Without him, these guys would have nothing to talk about. They don't even talk about baseball.. now with basketball ending, they will have nothing to talk about but football. It was funny hearing Skip say that the Lakers avoided the Clippers. The Lakers beat the team that beat the Clippers. If anything, the clippers avoided the Lakers because they were up double digits in every game with a 3-1 lead and then choked it away.

    if talking out your a** is the only talent you have to get views, than it explains why our sports, politics and society is a s*** drain most of the time.

    Troy Aikman would say something different. Skip Bayless is a worthless sack of s*** who only has a job because people are too stupid not to see his untalented a** for what he is. It takes no talent to just yap about s*** with no cred or real info to back it up.

    Finals MVP in his 17th season, OX pointed out he's played essentially 3 extra seasons via the playoffs. That is absurd.

    I'm starting to think he's going to play for a lot longer too. When we first signed LBJ I thought we'd get 3 productive years or so. But it looks like we might be seeing something entirely new when it comes to LeBron's career. I look at Jokic and think, if you took LeBron's mobility away he'd look a lot like him. With LBJ's iq, he could play like that for years

    Thank you Obama!

    The guys behind The Last Dance were recording in the bubble. Can't wait for whenever a doc about all this comes out and we see just how close it was too all falling apart. I think Obama, MJ, Roberts, and CP3 were all instrumental in being the glue that held this together until the end.

    The great Ramona Shelburne? No longer after this past year.

    "Never forget"?

    Who knew .... not me and probably lots of you? Curious. Well yeah if that isn't BS and actually true then thanks Obama. Thanks to everyone who helped pull these playoffs off ..... in spite of @Kenzo :giggle: :clap: ;) ;) ;)

    People forget that Jordan started winning titles with Magic, Bird and Isiah Thomas all got older, and then out of the league.

    Skip has stayed relevant in the media hating on Bron. Skip tried for a short while to do it with Kawhi when he called him Number 2, but nobody cared.

    In other words, Skip has made a lot of money and fame because of Bron.

    Don't you remember she hitched her wagon and tone of her stories to the formal ESPN / East Coast anti Lakers (are scrambling) type of articles. At some point it seems she lost access to Lakers FO too. Probably because of that. Though she got it back maybe since she did that big piece on Jeanie having that eventful pact forming dinner with LeBron.

    They need to just use Allie Clifton. Prefer to look at her while she talks Lakers. It's like lamb and tuna fish.
