LeBron James Discussion: Not Returning To The Lakers

Unavailable for the Warriors game?

 

Maybe.

That's awhile from now. Hopefully continued R&R does the trick.

 

both teams are on the upswing, so it would be nice to have as many key players available as possible

 

Wait, so he plays in a non-factor game to sit out an important game for the lakers?

I will be pissed if that's the case.

 

20th All Star Game appearance. Pretty much had to go to align with his actual goals. Accolades.

 

lol, that was my thought. if we finish 1 game back of gs, that could mean a road play-in game against steph and an early summer.

 

The All-star game is not a game.

Even Kawhi with an abductor strain managed to run up and down the court for 10 minutes

 

I watched maybe 10 minutes of it. Just a bunch of three point shots.

 

lol, ain't no way he's not doing a farewell tour

 

Lebron is setting the stage for a big post All-Star break run. We have a slew of nationally televised games coming up, I'm expecting him to be on point.

 

Glad he's hear to stay.

He has everything he needs here; location, business, weather, family loves it.

I'll never forget the chance he took with us by signing here. I'll also never forget how he handled the Kobe tragedy and really carried the franchise during that time.

My respect forever outside of what anybody says for those two things alone.

Hope we get him his fifth.

 

Hopefully he can play on Thursday because yeah that's HELLA annoying that we've had all this time off and he might not play...and he PLAYED in the all star game even if it was for only one half.

Also i'm not THAT encouraged by his comments...sounds like he's got one foot in and one foot out...depends on how we finish the season and the playoffs it sounds like...

 

Not doing a farewell tour and miss out on sitting on a throne type rocking chair and a crown on his head? Yeah right, Lebron

 

Yeah, nobody thinks he's NOT doing a farewell tour if physically able. Some guys thrive off of the attention, and I'd put him in that category.

He can say it's for the fans, but it will be just as much him as well if he's being honest.

 

If he's physically able, he'll definitely want, deserve, and have a farewell tour. But for him to say that to the media like it's his idea can risk him coming across the wrong way. The way this will work is Silver will reach out to Bron or Rich Paul, Silver will ask, Bron will say how nice of a gesture that would be and it'd mean a lot to him, Silver will coordinate with Rob, Jeanie and the teams across the league and they'll come up with their plan, then Silver will have press release/ statement about how they plan to honor Bron throughout the 202x season and it'll culminate with the Lakers final home game against x (Denver because the league likes to spoil special events by having us play the f***ing NBA champs)

 

Bron’s not stupid he knows the game against GS is important and will play. This is all games.

 

LeBron should play 23 seasons. It would set the new record (Vince Carter currently holds it at 22) and he is forever linked to the number 23.
