LeBron James Discussion: Not Returning To The Lakers

get a tpe for him?

 

they hypothetical spurs deal yields us a 20 million tpe! i don't trust management to use it given that we're run like we're the pacers, but it would be there.

 

LeBron is 37 years old. Can the refs stop officiating him like he’s prime Shaq?

 

Only heading into game 5 and the player with the most mileage ever is having to head into takeover mode already?

 

aging athletes overestimate themselves sometimes

 

Translation “I’m tired already with this offense and a bunch of guys that can’t shoot. I’m going to play the way I always play. This could be an early additional big personnel problem on top of Brick.

 

“This team is trash, I’m not passing the ball to these scrubs when the scoring record is within reach!”

 

Greatest leader in the history of team sports tho

 

You all already said it but I couldn’t resist: “I’m gonna get my points so everyone else gets the blame.”

 

I'm fine with that, we definitely need him to score 30/40 a night.

 

yep

oh good; the last couple months of last year again. that went great.

he played like crap last night. i looked at the +/- and couldn't believe he had the lowest minus, tbh. then again, damon jones and nunn had the highest, so it was a misleading stat last night.

anyway, half his turnovers weren't overpassing, they were just bad passes. and he did start hunting shots as the game progressed and took some bad ones that he missed.

whatever, chuck away; just stop meddling in front office business.

 

And he's 38. Does this mean we're already conceding the season to just watching him go for KAJ's record?

Good grief, man.

 

going to the lakers has been great for him (and for us, mostly).

 

*Don’t trade for Westbrook

 

my favorite player can still get up

 

I don't think how anyone can see KCP, Caruso, and Kuzma play and say that Westbrook trade is not what killed the Lakers. Lebron/AD share the blame for pushing it and they deserve it but if anything the Bubble team looks more and more like a great team that decided to self-immolate themselves

 

He's looked bad - is he washed or is he going to do the same thing he's done since Miami which is start slow? Maybe a catch 22 with the shooting making everything more difficult - he can't play the Luka apex predator offense with no shooting.

If he picks it up: the Lakers make a move and with a schedule that gets easier they finish the season strong. If he doesn't the lakers won't trade him as they don't own the pick and will focus on re-building starting next year

 

the '21 team probably beats the suns in round 1 if AD doesn't get hurt. i don't see how anyone can NOT point at the westbrook trade for this team's decline

KCP and kuzma weren't great, but they were solid pieces and better than anyone who they've brought in since. and don't get me started on caruso

just compare the roster of the 19-20 and 20-21 teams to now and it's easy to see that it was the russ trade that ruined everything
