Lebron would make a huge mistake if he goes to LA

[DAF86]

If he joins the Lakers he will not be winning shit next season and I see it very unlikely that he wins shit the following one. And after those two years he will be past his prime, which means he will probably not win shit in LA ever. Which, consequently, would also mean that he will have to live forever on Kobe's shadow.

Just too much to lose and very little to gain, tbh.

Not tough to say. LeBron + "Playoff P" + the Lakers' trash isn't beating the Warriors.

LeBron joining the Lakers would basically be him retiring without actually retiring. At that point, he might as well stay in Cleveland.

[Fabbs]

True but don't underestimate Disney/ABC/NBA conglomerates ability to run a scam.

If they want to switch back to Lakers-Warriors-Lakers they will do so $$$$$$$$$.

PG13 is the one joining Lebron in LA. Let's say Lakers don't give up anything to get Lebron:

Lonzo, Ingram, Lebron, PG13, Brooks. With Kuzma coming off the bench. Not enough to get past the Warriors in the near future.

[DAF86]

Lebron, for once in his life, needs to join a team that isn't complete shit without him. The Lakers, even with Paul George, would still be mediocre at best.

Add Lebron to a team that has already proven to be good on itself. That's how you beat GS.

He won't be able to do his usual stat-padding on a minutes restriction and sitting out games under senile Pop. He doesn't wanna play with a quitter who misses entire seasons when he's been cleared to play. Also, as shitty as Cleveland is, San Antonio is a downgrade in comparison :lmao

Lakers are a young team but their talent is being sold short even if Lonzo is not as good as advertised.
I would take Kuz/Ingram's potential over every SF not named Kiwi, Lebron, Tatum, Durant.

But we will see I still dont think he comes to L.A. but I disagree ... Lebron with PG and a mid-tier FA along with most of Lakers young core would be much better than the cavs roster sans Lebron.
A testament to Bron's greatness is what he did with THAT roster.

With Lakers though west is tougher he would join a team that won 35 games ...

[Chillen]

So basically LeBron joining Lakers he would be living in Kobe Bryant's shadow and tons of pressure with the LA spotlight. Kobe will be ready to critique everything he does. Fans would be expecting an NBA title the first season and would not settle for anything less. They would expect the Lakers to beat the Warriors. If he wants all that pressure on him and spotlight, go for it.

[Jeremy]

I don't get the Lakers talk. If he wanted to join a talented but unproven young core in the West, the Suns would obviously be a better fit and more talented:

Knight
Booker
Jackson
LeBron
Ayton

#16/Warren/Chriss/Bender

And that's without making any other moves or bringing in any other free agents.

He already is past his prime. But if you mean past near MVP level, then yea probably so. And yea, why go to LA now if they're not ready to win? I can see that. Of course, maybe they will be ready to win if PG and another comes too. Kuzma and Ingram and Randle are good pieces too if they're retained. I assume Lonzo's ass would be booted pretty fast.

[endrity]

If he's going to LA than we can be sure it's about more than basketball. Because unless they are able to engineer a 2011 Heat-like retooling of the roster, there is no way he is winning a championship there. Paul George will not change that either.

[SuperCam]

if houston was the bar, lakers with bron/george and a few pieces could challenge the warriors tbh. even if they stuck with hart, kuzma, ball and ingram, that’s going to be a legit team. i expect huge things from ingram this year and his stats suggest his trajectory is on the upwards.

people don’t realize the lakers were 12th in defensive efficiency with ball and ingram missing 56 games (combined) as well as kcp/lopez/hart missing another 20+ games.


they play well, they just never had a closer often relying on kcp and kuzma to close games for them.

Lakers would be top 4 on the West, but it wouldn't be enough to beat the Warriors. Not untill Ingram and Kuzma develop a bit more, and by that time Lebron would be way past his current level.

Paul George and Cousins couldn't make the playoffs without Lebron. I doubt the basketball IQ is there to beat Golden State, and in the West Lebron wouldn't get to the Finals. At least in the East he has that consolation prize of the big silver basketball.

[DMC]

If I'm a Lakers player I don't want Lebron there. Lebron makes other players appear irrelevant. You take a good player and put him on a team with Lebron, and Lebron has a mediocre Lebron game that blows away the good player's best nights before Lebron got there. So good player now appears expendable. GMs see that as a way to just have shit players and pay one guy all the money. Plus, any team looking at you in a possible free agency deal would consider how weak you looked compared to Lebron. This is why players shrink in the moment when paired with stars, and why teams like Boston rise to the occasion when no real stars are on the floor.

Pelinka has done wonders in such a short amount of time. Trading an underperforming player in Russell and Mozgov’s immovable $64 million contract for an expiring and a lottery pick. He followed that up by dumping another gross contract in Clarkson while obtaining additional expiring contracts and another first round pick.


In less than a year, he dumped $84 million without receiving any guaranteed contracts in return + 2 first round picks. That’s brilliant :lol

not saying he will or should come but LeBron really only lives in MJ's shadow. Outside of rings and maybe popularity in China/Phillipines ...
Lebron has pretty much overshadowed much of Kobe's career even shrinking teh window he was considered the best player (not speaking of here but NBA circles in general including players, casuals and hard core fans)

not choosing the Lakers based on their youth both at coach and as the core of the team makes sense.
Being worried about Kobe and his stans does not.
Same with Lavar ..lebron is bigger than all 3 ball boys plus Lavar.
If Lebron came and wanted them gone he could Thanos snap his fingers and Lakers would trade Zo for pennies on the dollar.

Also, Lakers aren't really sucking it up as much as people think.

They're 21-15 with Lebron, which would be like 48 wins over 82 games, which is about what Vegas pegged them at in the beginning of the season.

Their record is skewed due to Lebron missing 18 games and it's put the season on life support.

"Lebron get's here and in 6 months he manages to annihilate the entire roster while trying to get the coaching staff fired at the same time.

Sorry to say but Lebron is cancer for clubs and Magic is his personal slave attending to whatever dumb request.

We got a 34yo now starting to get injured (trust me, it will be frequent, i've been young and not so young before. Lebron isn't a God. Those tendons will start to pop and hurt for no apparent reason) that has shown multiple times that he uses everyone around him as pieces to complete his personal goals.

Last season is Cleveland he had half the roster traded mid season. He insulted Rose and Thomas by treating them like garbage. Rodney Hood had to bow down and act like his b»»»h. In Miami he used the team and players while they suited him and then bailed. Got to the cavs and instantly manipulates the NBA to get another super team where he pissed off Kyrie and made Love regress so much we don't even remember who he was before.

This is Lebron. Do you think anyone wants to play for a guy like that? Seriously? All they are is either help for him to be the GOAT or escape goats ready to be shipped at any time.

We are hostage of an ageing Lebron for the seasons. The only way for the Lakers to get out of this hole is to get players that notoriously like Lebron.

Kyrie already know what's up. Cousins shouldn't get the max. Then fill the rest with shooters.

Also, i would strongly suggest Lebron to take the rest of the season out. This squad now hates him for good reason and the last thing we need now is our max player to suffer an extensive injury while he desperately tries to get to the playoffs for no reason at all.

Let Lebron stay home, do his movies and his pathetic fake activism. Meanwhile, kids will have time to grow and raise their trade value. Come back next season when you have a clear sense of what the team and it's goals are."

[HarlemHeat37]

^^Is this real? Rodney Hood, Thomas and Rose?:lol

[djohn2oo8]

He went there hoping to form a superteam Harlem ;)
Maybe. But he really went there to explore opportunities off the basketball court.

[Clipper Nation]

He went there hoping to form a superteam Harlem ;)
:lol Yeah, a superteam of Hollywood directors, actors and agents. While GM Magic's thinking about who he's going to trade all his scrubs for, LeBron's thinking about Space Jam 2.

[DAF86]

I don't even know what to think about this.

Losing against such pathetic teams when we were in dire need of w's is unacceptable. It's not like we are complete garbage. Last time i checked we were supposed to have the "best player ever" for some.

Really, how many Hawks player would start for us? How are we losing like that without showing a glimpse of fire or desire?

I can't really blame Lebron after he had a season high assists game with a triple double but..

But would have Kobe lost this game? I do remember Kobe at 34 yo, in a somewhat similar situation (injured squad with unfitting coaching) + Old players, killing himself out there.

He would play all the minutes needed and take all the shots necessary to take the team to the PO. And he did while running himself to the ground.

This is the difference between Kobe, a true Laker, and Lebron, someone who only cares and looks for himself long term.

Is the Lebron experiment really fitting for us? Where would we be if Lebron hadn't been Magic's priority?

We would still have this young core + DLo + Randle.

And i bet you that our record would be the same and perspectives for the impending free agency MUCH BETTER.

I hope we won't have to endure 2/3 years more of this.

Told you so, tbh.

If Lebron wanted to plan his movie business career ahead of time, while putting basketball on a secondary level of priority, he should have just gone to the Clippers. Kobestans will never approve of him, much less if he half-asses it.

The Logo could have built LeBron a team where he could halfass it and still contend. GM M:lolgic is a joke.

Who wants to play with him?

[Kurgan]

It's a legacy killer for sure, especially if he misses the playoffs

[spursistan]

If he joins the Lakers he will not be winning shit next season and I see it very unlikely that he wins shit the following one. And after those two years he will be past his prime, which means he will probably not win shit in LA ever. Which, consequently, would also mean that he will have to live forever on Kobe's shadow.

Just too much to lose and very little to gain, tbh.

I cannot wait for the hight profile LeBron ball washers to explain themselves in podcast form.

Can’t believe the one to nail the coffin to be dell demps.

Now Jeanie is calling those trade rumours fake news.

[baseline bum]

Man I'm going to die laughing if Kawhi goes to the Clippers, Durant stays put or goes to NYC, Davis gets shipped to Boston, and scrub ass Ingram is still LeBron's second star.

[Chucho]

LOLaker fans just need to accept they are New York Knicks West Coast, the LeBron signing is basically the Starbury signing, just blown up in their faces even more.

Yeah I definitely don’t see Durant going there after he recently called them toxic. Kawhi either. I think Davis goes to another team in which Magic fails again.

[Ghazi]

sad days for Clipper Nation :lol

[spursistan]

What a dumbass move :lol..

From 8 straights Finals to missing the playoffs in his first West appearance..Talk about giving easy fodder to his detractors..

I don't understand how nobody around him saw the blatant red flags of the Lakers' atrocious front office and ownership. I get that he doesn't care anymore, but shit, riding on Simmons and Embiid's coattails would be much better for his brand right now than this disaster.

[spursistan]

Yea, but worst case scenario just played out as far as narrative/legacy is concerned("product of East" etc..)...

Should have signed a 1+1 deal with either Rockets/Philly for couple of legit shots at another ring and then he could bolt to LA for Space Jam 2...

It's obvious Rich Paul isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, especially looking at how he handled the AD situation.

Combination of Rich Paul getting a bit too greedy and possibly family (wifey in particular)..I don't think even his buddy CP3 got a chance to sway him away from this trainwreck..

[timtonymanu]

LeBron just cares about his Hollywood career at this point. No one is beating the Warriors anyway as long as they keep picking up every ring chasing, easy path faggots.

It does hurt his legacy a bit though. Just 3 years ago, he upset the Warriors and was in GOAT conversations.

And Philly is a hyped market right now. Eagles Superbowl, Bryce Harper (broke the Fanatics record for the best selling jersey debut in history, of any sport), and "the process." In retrospect, the Sixers would've been a lot better for his brand. He could easily just live in LA during the off-season to tend his "media empire" or whatever.

[Bynumite]

Lakers were 4th in the west before injuries and the AD fiasco broke them.

But i do agree that the FO made a poor job building the roster and the Zubac trade brought nothing to the table.

I just hope they don't trade BI in the offseason.

Their schedule was really weak and there were like 6 teams within 1 or 2 games of them, if I recall. It was a bit of a fool's gold standing.

Well, that kinda proves my point that the team is mentally broken. Even if the schedule was weak, they were at least capable of beating bad teams back then but not anymore.

Lakers have losses to the suns and grizzlies just in the last 10 days. Teams the Lakers were blowing out on the road earlier this season.

[DAF86]

I knew the Lakers weren't going to be good, but I never expected them to miss the playoffs. How the fuck do you miss the playoffs with Lebron on your roster? :lol

[R. DeMurre]

Yeah, this is what I found so odd about the move to L.A. too... Why go to a rebuilding team at age 34 and waste a season? He has his whole life ahead of him to build a media empire. The Philly situation seemed tailor-made for him: he'd stay in the East and join a superteam to rival the opposite coast Warriors, and be able to rest more during the season while Embiid and Simmons carried the weight of the minutes...

[Mr. Body]

This will set the Lakers back for years, too. Kobe all over again. A major star who is declining, mediocre talent around him that cannot improve because of his playing style. The roster cannot improve because they don't quite suck enough. If they whiff on FAs, he'll struggle to make the playoffs again.

[Othyus Lalanne]

This is the motherfucking West that's how.

Trade the motherfucker, some desperate rich guy will gut his team to get that Lebron stan money.

Combination of LeBron getting old, lazy, and cunty and the Lakers not having one other worthwhile player on the entire roster. How can Davis look at that dumpster fire and think yeah that's where I want to play the second half of my career?

Easy guess is Davis doesn't give a shit about winning, much, either. I don't think he does, although making the playoffs would be nice.

[HarlemHeat37]

Lakers should be better next year, tbh..the West isn't very good, they aren't that far from being a 2 seed if they make the correct moves..

A rested LeBron, a lottery pick and if their front office is even somewhat competent, they should have an idea on how to mask LeBron's flaws at this point of his career..

[Clipper Nation]

if they make the correct moves..

if their front office is even somewhat competent

And then you realize that M:lolgic is their GM.

Well I guess that would explain why they aren’t winning enough regular season games to get to the playoffs...

Gonna be a bad look for Lebron when he is left begging for other superstars to come and join him in the summer after he failed to make the playoffs.

[MultiTroll]

"This team is built for the playoffs" lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooooo my sides :lmao :lmao
Notice how Magic is reading off of notes.
Not the only NBA interviewee to do this by far.
Just a huge LOL by Disney/ABC/Fake NBA productions.

BTW when the hell was this interview.
I will say Lonzo getting injured did hurt them. A ton? Oh hell no but he is a good passer, rebounder and ok defender.

[MultiTroll]

Naw I think modern day NBA player has next to no scruples whatsoever. If some cash can be gotten to X stars way, they can still make it happen. With all the rigged reffing, collusion signings (Durbetta quitting on OKC in playoffs knowing he would become a Gay Area Boi), I'm sure some deal with a star can be made. Above or below the table.

Make your case that the West is not very good.

How would you mask Lebron not playing defense for long streches?

[AlexJones]

Lebron looks like Clayton Kershaw tbh
