    With yesterday’s report that Portland would let RWIII walk and now the new contract, let that be a reminder that literally everything is smoke and mirrors and nothing means anything right now.

    I think we have our backups. I think we are looking for a Top Level Starter.

    And then there were 3 ideal Center options.

    I feel like Kessler and Robinson is enough.

    Absolutely!

    This is why I can't match the energy of many fans freaking about free agency in... June lol

    Let it play out and freak out after. As a rule of thumb I try to only get emotions from facts, not hearsay or rumours. All the reporters make a life out of this, they gotta write something

    I feel that's petty as hell. It's one thing to think he has a better chance of winning with someone else, it's another to just flat out say he doesn't want to stay even though no one can pay him more than the Lakers can.

    yeah; i think we moved onto our plans without him, too. it's fine. i'm sure he and the geezers will be super motivated up the coast.

    F Yeah!!!. Lakers wanted him gone to begin with, and now the stories coming out from the Klutch side and the Lakers side will be golden.

    LMFAO. This is great news. It was time to turn the page. Happy happy.

    I feel it will be really hard to compete without Lebron on a team friendly deal though. How do we replace his offensive production, especially?

    I can't help but pin this on Rob as well, we had leverage in this situation like I said no contender could pay him more than the Lakers.

    Day starts well huh...

    Gonna be a fun one.
    We'll be a worse team right now, but like to close that window.

    Let's fill the wings with defensive minded players.
    Very curious to see where he ends up, the Warriors seems awful for the present and legacy

    Please.....tell me more of your excitement..............................

    Honestly, I hate to say I am okay with this......but again................................LeBron can have all the credit he wants for what he did for the team, and he deserves it....................just, he and KLUTCH deserve all the criticism too.

    It wasn't perfect.....................but it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows too.

    curious to see. so far we've definitely just let klutch talk all their s*** without rebuttal. seems likely we'll continue that practice, but yeah, there are going to be like a zillion shots taken at the franchise in the coming days and weeks. hell, months and years. the butthurt has been very real over there since the player option wasn't offered.

    Never was a fan of his

    He did win us a championship so I respect him for that

    Time to move

    Watch him take a lot less from another team

    Won't pay any attention to him after today

    Is Zion in the works?

    yeah, we're certainly taking at least a small step back now. but it was going to happen soon, regardless.
