LeBron has always been Hollywood as , this does not surprise me. He hung around Cleveland because of his roots and loyalty.
Unless Lakers make some other moves I don't see LeBron sniffing the NBA Finals again with the Lakers.
Unfortunately so.

Meh, he wasn't winning in CLE regardless. He wanted to retire without actually retiring and gets to be close to his family year round and set his kids up for the next 4 years.
They are still way behind the Warriors with or without Kawhi so it's not like his legacy is gonna take a hit apart from Kobestans. If Magic can fall ass backwards into surrounding him with championship level talent again then that would just be icing.
I think he's good if he never wins a le again.
The red flag for me that LeBron was going to Lakers was when Magic Johnson promised his job he would land a big name free agent. I mean he had to have known it was in the bag who does that.
he's not going to LA to win, he is going to LA to set up his life after basketball career
This is because he wants to play with his kid in a couple years, probably AIDS gave him the green light.
Same. This doesn’t piss me off that bad. It’s Hollywood as but that’s the Lakers allure for some. I figured Lebron was like that so it doesn’t really shock or anger me, especially if Lebron wants to cash out. I’m more pissed about Kawhi but nothing we can do about it. Plus it’s hilarious to see Lakerfans once again suck off someone they hate.
If Spurs fans are down given all the Kawhi noise, just remember that the Cavs turned three #1 overall picks PLUS another former #1 pick signing back with them (Derrick Rose too technically but won’t count him) into one ring and Kevin Love on the backside of his career, Jordan Clarkson and Collin Sexton.
The Spurs turned just three lottery picks over a 30 year period into five les. Could be worse.
Dude didn't have to go back to Cleveland, he got them a championship. You guys ever been to Cleveland? He's good.

Right. Its his elaborate retirement plan. And a retirement bonus from the NBA. The NBA wouldnt mind as long as it revives the LA Lakers franchise.
At Steven A Smith
this man is FUNNY, LOL
It was reported LeBron didn't force them to make any big splashes, and he's in it for the long run. Which is probably why he signed the contract he did and not a 1+1..
They could not sign anyone else and it sounds like he'd be ok with that.
This has show written all over it for a myriad of reasons. NBA is becoming a joke by the minute.
I hope he gets a roster somewhat similar to the Cavs, so we can see if he can dribble barricade his way into the finals in the west with it and what the narrative would be.
Steven not hiding his excitement about dem big markets and the crap they might offer the Spurs.
Lebron just in simi retirement mode
It’s in LeBron’s best interests to lower Kawhi’s trade value. The more assets the Lakers keep and the less they give up, the more talent he can play with. Can’t blame a guy who kept playing with low IQ scrubs for wanting a better squad. I’m worried the Spurs throw in Dejounte in a possible deal, but that’s a minor, baseless worry.
You niccas are crazy. Lebron will be in the Finals before his contract ends.
state is not winning 5 straight finals and tbh they were already starting to show cracks in the foundation.
I know this sucks cuz y'all hate us but this he wont ever sniff another Finals bull is just wishful thinking.
spur fan on possibility lebron joining spurs to play with Kiwi: spur gonna dethrone golden showers easily and ring
spur fan on possibility kiwi joining lakers to play with lebron: what a stupid move he's retired now no chance of winning maybe 3rd seed at best
If it comes down to LAL/GS in the WCF, I know who I am rooting for.... #NotGS
Never root for the Lakers.
Agree takes an unbiased Charlotte fan to speak reason.
