Imagine being the Lakers the 10 years before LeBron got there

Giving the most popular player in the league, who just averaged 30 ppg, an extra 2 year deal isn't that big of a deal. If it was a 5 year max that would be a little different.

I get this board hates Lebron, which is reasonable in some cases, but he's still a top 10 player in the league and gets asses in the seats. Let's not forget the Lakers have been straight trash the last couple years of Kobes career and the 8 years or so that followed

I think there is a pretty big question as to whether or not he will be a top 10 player this upcoming season.

Even last year, he essentially played offense only. That's going to get worse as he ages. If he scores 30 and gives up 35, he isn't helping you.

2009? Yeah they went back to back with Kobe Pau Odom and Bynum. Lakers would kill for that era over this one
