    Not saying it will happen, but let's look at it like this: LBJ and Bosh took less to play with Wade in Miami for a chance at multiple rings. You don't think LBJ and Melo would do the same thing to play with Dwight...in LA?

    Never say never son.
    LeBron ain't goin to L.A. to help Kobe win son.

    Dwight routinely said the only team he'd commit to and sign an extension with was Brooklyn. No amount of credibility can undo quotes form Dwight
    You believe everything Dwight says publicly? If so, you must be an adorable Magic Fan.

    Ken Berger is a true NBA insider. Look up his work on the inner workings of the NBA lockout if you don't believe me. He's legit son.

    Apparently Dwight has gone to Colorado to make a decision. Kobe must have requested that Dwight must first forcibly a white girl against her will before he can rejoin the Lakers.

    Maybe. Maybe not. It's no secret that even Kobe's deal expires the same year LBJ can become a FA again. I recall Shaq having a stacked Orlando team - and still bolted for LA in 1996.

    Only way LeBron's coming to LA is to join his good friend CP3.... he sure ain't putting on the purple-and-piss and agreeing to become Kirby's new scapegoat, tbh....

    You just talking. Clipps have no cap space for LBJ. We do.

    No one would have thought Shaq (biggest FA in NBA history) would leave a stacked Orlando team...but he did. Logo did his homework and voilą.

    Dude - he's 28 and in his prime - not 40. PJ used to play Shaq 40+ mpg during the 3peat years. MDA is a spineless dumbass, but playing someone in their prime isn't a bad thing.
    Fair enough, but it's not just the minutes. Mike (and pretty much the entire league now) play at a much faster pace than the three peat Lakers did. And feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I really can't remember a time during Shaq's LA years where he didn't have enough shooting around him make teams pay for throwing their whole defense at him, much less a quality perimeter scorer like Kobe. Some people still have question marks about Dwight's back being 100% better but for me it's the shoulder injury he was dealing with that would have me more concerned. Not that it was a crippling one but it was a direct result of all the hard fouls he was absorbing. Prime or no prime I don't think he can hold up to a whole damn season of that, much less one his role will be forcibly expanded and more physical than last year by virtue of teammates health issues. Not without picking up a few of the kinds of nagging injuries that could well take a year or two off of his prime.

    So wrong, I don't even know where to start

    Shaq was not the biggest FA in NBA history - LeBron was... plus his agent had been pushing for him to leave Orlando for years (even tried to convince Orlando's GM to trade Shaq to the Lakers on draft night '92), the Orlando media was ripping him to shreds, and he hated the coach and front office (not to mention the jealousy that emerged between Shaq and Penny), so Shaq leaving the Magic was nowhere near as shocking as you're pretending it was, tbh....

    Can't refute the other parts (too lazy to research it tbh) - but the bolded is a weak on your part. You honestly believe LBJ was a bigger FA than a 7'1" 315lb 24 year-old athletic as stud? , if his fatass would have been professional about his career and stayed away from Krispy Kreme, he'd be the undisputed GOAT. LBJ is really good - and unlike Shaq did - he's taking full advantage of his skill set and God-given ability. Even still, I'm not ready to say he's better than Shaq was entering FA. We'll agree to disagree.

    He got to be teammates with the most prolific winner of our generation, Kobe Bryant, and has a chance to continue to be. He got to play with the franchise that is responsible for giving the NBA some of its most legendary figures -- Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Bryant, and on and on.
    Is this guy ing serious? Playing with the "most prolific winner of our generation, Kobe Bryant" resulted in BARELY making the playoffs. And who gives a about past Lakers? Is Magic going to suit up?

    Don't get it twisted son. He wants to be a billionaire...

    LeBron: The next Buffett?


    NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Forget whether LeBron James is the next Michael Jordan. The more interesting question is whether he can be the next Warren Buffett.


    James, the 22-year old star of the Cleveland Cavaliers, has been hyped as the game's next superstar since he was in high school. And his own ambitions are no less grand - he has stated a desire to be the first billionaire athlete.
    ...and considering LA is the 2nd biggest media market where he will command a ton of off court endorsements...it makes sen$e for him to go westward.

    nly Nash's paltry $9M on the books son. Read it and weep son. That's the real reason why I'm not really sweating if Dwight walks. I'd say if he does we should tank for Wiggins. Then S&T Pau over the summer for pieces. Plus we'd have a ton of cap space to boot. It would be like 1996 all over again. Dwight would be the centerpiece of it all - if he's smart. We'll see.
    I don't really see you guys getting LeBron but it is the Lakers and they will return to relevancy quickly, as always

    Riley will never permit LeBron to leave the Heat except to hang up his jock for good.

    Shaq had indicated he wanted to play in LA before he was even drafted. He was vocal about it. I had a biography of him after his rookie year and it included of a picture of him holding a globe and pointing to L.A.

    Shaq was a bigger free agent. If Shaq and Lebron were both free agents in their primes most teams pick Shaq. You don't pass up a dominant big man for a small forward.
