LABron James Discussion: The Final Year?

Pretty much this or at the time I was thinking of a possible trade. Not meant as a knock on LeBron. Doesn't take much to stir up the next...lol. Plus if LeBron is pushed too hard he will be injured by the end of the regular season. The guy kind of has to be treated like butterfly wings at this point.

 

Take a pull of a cold Alaskan Amber. Will help with the anxiety...lol. Basically LeBron needs to be protected from injury. The LeBron is a God and time has no meaning on him is pretty ridiculous as well, injuries have mounted.

 

Speaking of Amber, when I first took a sip of Full Sail Amber, it was like heaven in a bottle.

 

We're like half a decade late on his exit. He should've have been gone a long time ago.

 

LBJ now has a new toy to work with

Make it work

All the the money we are paying you, you need to

 

Oh look who’s back LOL but you won’t stay because you don’t value this great Lakers board to hang out on as much as you hate LeBron.

 

Half decade? So we should have dropped him before the bubble. Strong take. Some people need to get out of their emotions. It's possible to not like Lebron but recognize that before he signed, we were a doormat for several years with little reason for optimism.

 

This guy’s the worst with the LeBron deranged syndrome.

 

Hypothetical trade scenario:


New York Knicks get Lebron, Bronny
LA Lakers get Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, Mitchell Robinson

Both Bridges and Robinson are expiring contracts and are expecting pay raises which the Knicks may be gunshy on giving them.

LeBron’s latest posturing and joining the Knicks would make them instant favorites in the East next season. Especially with Boston, Milwaukee, and Indiana not expected to do too much. The East would be the clear road to the finals, with maybe Cleveland being the only team that may challenge them.


The Lakers do this to start the post LeBron/Beginning of the Luka era and instantly surrounds Luka with high quality 3 and D wings, as well as solid center rotation.

The Lakers depth chart would be:
Luka/Vincent/Milton
Reaves/Lavaria
Bridges/Hart/Thiero
Rui/Vando
Ayton/Robinson/Kleber

Knicks will try to make a run with:
Brunson
Clarkson/Mcbride
Anunoby
Lebron/Yabusele
KAT

 

OMG still? He’s going absolutely nowhere. Is it really “that” much fun doing these not happening trades?

 

he's not going anywhere unless he demands a trade

and it's pretty obvious he doesn't care about winning another ring. his recent comments about people putting too much emphasis on titles won was a great indicator of that. he came to the lakers with the intention of retiring here and that's not going to change

 

I don’t buy that. He’d love to win another one I’m sure. Of course IMO.

 

He's fighting against Jordan, so he has to downgrade ring culture. If he somehow tied or passed MJ (hypothetically since he won't), he would change his tune.

Of course he wants to win more, he just knows it's not likely.

 

Still holding out hope that he demands a trade to cleveland

I would love nothing more than to get Allen/Hunter from them. 2 players that compliment Luka perfectly.

Allen/Ayton center rotation would feed families.
