LABron James Discussion: The Final Year?

He has to love playing with Luka Doncic and being on a team in the hunt, and knows he’s in his very last years playing the game he also loves …. as well.

 

Let's see how Legroin plays out. He seems to play better then snap

 

@ADKOBE

Not just LeBron's groin. Whole team needs to stay free of injury ....no ankles coming down on feet, knees planted with big bodies rolling into them, Smart further screwing up more fingers on shooting hand .... all s*** happens injuries to our top 9-10 guys. Because we have a bleep load of talent with our Big 3 topped by best player in the league now Luka. Then we have a chance to do something.

 

the "they're enjoying each other; the chemistry has done a 180" quote seems off to me.

i don't think the issue was ever between lebron and luka or lebron and AR--it's been between lebron and rob/ownership.

the on-court chemistry is better bc lebron has bought into the role we need him to play AND luka and AR have been available at the same time. it took a few games coming out of the break (which were ugly), but that's where it is.

and while one possibility is that lebron's never had his mind made up, another is that he's changed it. we'll never know, but my sense is that when he didn't get the 1+1, he kind of mentally checked out. then when he saw how well the team played without him, he began to realize the grass maybe wasn't greener in cleveland or gs.

 

Is that a bad thing?

 

i'd still be surprised if he doesn't end up back in cleveland for his final season

 

I'd kind of be surprised if he did to be honest. His family live in LA. The situation in Cleveland isn't really better for him financially than here either. Then we can talk about who's more competitive, us or them?

 

I don't want to hear about Lakers or Lebron flopping - lebron is still treated like he was in his prime where he had the Shaq effect.
If this was Shai they'd call a bunch of techs on the fouling players

meanwhile MJ had the softest whistle of all time

 

Yup, this is getting ridiculous. I admire him for keeping calm... i wouldn't/couldn't. There would be a KO'd ref and an opponent sooner or later.
