The topic of Lebron is so toxic that a great many folks are doing themselves a disservice not recognizing what he's doing at this age and in his 21st season.


But still, F Lebron

They are a really poorly constructed team. Swapping Lebron for Mitchell, this Cavs team would be better than this Lakers team, I don't think it's terribly close.

I was playing around with a trade earlier today that would send LeBron to CLE, Mitchell to NYK, Randle and BI to LAL, and Mobley and Reaves to the Pels. It's way too many parts and teams, and picks would have to go out somewhere, but who knows where

Lebron and AD are at worst, 2 top 20 players. They were a play in team. That tells you that you have to have a little something past your top 2 players.


Ad yes LeBron no, you gotta be a two way player to be one of the best in the league, LeBron aint that

LeBron has to take some blame for that, since he forced the team to trade for Westbrook, Lakers still recovering from that, and LeBron running his "system" with that cavs team they would be lucky to win thirty games

So yes, I think he has a lot of power provided he truly would opt out if he didn't get what he wanted.

Is he really going to walk away from 45 million? Assuming that he'd get the TPE wherever he went.

He still puts up offensive numbers, but he isn't nearly as impactful as he was in his prime, I realize this might be a "duh" statement, but people are acting like he is. Prime LeBron wouldn't have this team only winning 47 regular season games.

Dinky was probably right in hindsight. They should have intentionally lost our game. I think they can beat almost anyone in the West other than Denver.


Yep...could have easily tanked that last game vs Pels by claiming AD's back injury at end of previous game with us was acting up. Let him start...then limp out very early with back problem. Would probably get VERY little bad press..."AD tried to go...just couldn't do it...maybe he'll be good to go in a coupla days...bring on the Thunder" (And then they could worry about the Nuggets AFTER the Nuggets have played a couple of hopefully 7-game series)

PEDs and EPO are magic.

As much as people gave Bonds shite for his physique change, the fact people act like LeBron is somehow an all-natural athlete are either stupid or simply biased for some odd reason for this egomaniac.

I don't think the Lakers run it back. They've seen their peak. Unless there is some big named free Agent they can lure in, they can't possibly make their team good enough to contend for a championship.
I think they try to move LeBron to another team trying to contend. Possibly something like LeBron to the Warriors for Klay, Kuminga, and picks.

Lebron is certainly still a top 20 player, and also certainly still better than AD.

Stop


He just won 46 games, your'e going to give him a much better cast and now can't win 30? What are we doing right now?

The coach has to go.

Denver's weakness is playing against two bugs like what Minnesota has.

Lakers need to get a 6'10" rebounding big that can play next to Davis.

Maybe we should add the Clippers to the Where do they go from here list. The return on the insane investment isn't there and they will probably never compete for a title.

I had a friend tell me that Denver would trade for LeBron, I don’t see it. Maybe as a sixth man
