Lebron to the Lakers

[JoeyBoy718]

without George, they must get Kawhi, Joey my bro. I don’t think Bron goes to LA without word from Lake brass that Kawhi is a persued goal.

Bron alone does not get them over the hump. Hell, no, Joey. But there’s no way Bron did this as a one off. It would go against everything he’s done in his career.

He didn’t need Lake exposure to reep Los Angeles marketing for his brand. His Brand is already global. He needs more Chips.

Like I said, Kawhi to LA e5, imo

Do the Spurs strike you as a team that will give away a player to make another team a contender without getting something in return? I don't see how the Spurs trade Kawhi to LA without touching their young core.

But again, I’ll defer to you basketball nerds, and especially my boiiiiiii @Sarek

I knew LeBron was coming to the lakers by today or tomorrow and I posted it in the NBA offseason thread and my posts were met with resistance.

Shame on them bro. Shame on them

It’s gonna be tricky as hell with a sevant in Pop seemingly unwilling to let go of Kawhi. He loves him some Kawhi

Still, the NBA is rigged, and yes, I think Bron and Magic are pulling strings to get Kawhi in LA with as little collateral damage as possible

NBA having a Lakers team dismantle GS would be a wet dream for Sterling/nba ratings that are already on the up and up. This is the cherry, Joey

But again, I defer to you guys. You tell me!!!

Who on the Cavs is better than Kuzma after year one? That fake Loveboy? Cavs were trash bro, Bron needed out. He’s gonna get another max contract player, he wouldn’t have signed if not. Thought it was George, convinced it’s Kawhi, now.

Kawhi to LA e5

We know he needed out, but to LA? Death knell.

 

[Clove]

Won't matter.

why “death knell”? That’s a very vague and simple post. I don’t even watch the NBA regularly and I am trying to spit ball here — surely you can do better than that, ksk, and guide me to what you mean(?)

 

[Trouty]

Won't matter.

Clove, from the shadows of the deep!!!! My old

How I am the one speaking on this? Is everyone at r/NBA?

Quite frankly, funny. Basketball is like my 5th sport after NFL, NHL, MLB, and Travel Channel

Point and laugh at me, it’s all good, amigos

It's what everyone else has been saying, Trouty, the Lakers don't have the talent. I can't figure this one out, to tell the truth. If I were Lebron, 36 YOA I believe, I'd be going to win a last title or two. I just don't see it in LA.

 

[bodi]

wow 154 mil who needs money - stupid

 

[JoeKing]

I guess LeBron is tired of being in the NBA finals every season. He won't have to concern himself with that as long as he's in LA.

lebron is 33 going on 34 and still the best player in the NBA. So let’s move on from there.

The Lakers are stacked with young talent, not like Philly, but they have a lot of fine youngsters.

The thought is, if they land another max contract, with the phenom Bron leading the way, but being a specialist now, rather than an everything, he can get it done.

Just bend over and accept it, if you’re not GS, and Kawhi joins the team without them losing their big 3

Lot of people hate the Lakers. The Lakers did what they needed to do today. Whatever this Lakers roster looks like for the season opener is still in the making, we’ll know soon enough though.

Bend over and take it? Did you mean to post that to someone else?

I'm simply discussing a sports move. Not here to talk trash.

Looks like I had his age wrong!!!! However, the point still stands. At his age, he only has so much time left.

I don't see the Lakers as stacked w/ young talent. Who is saying they are?

I don't blame the Lakers at all. I simply question whether that was the right team for Lebron to select.

 

[Risen Star]

That's what I see. Even if they bring in a Kwai, don't see how it's enough.

Houston, Philly, Boston, several places he could go to try and win a title. Just can't see how LA is even in the picture.

I think the Lakers would have to severely over pay to get San Antonio to trade him there.

I was speaking on the league as a whole. Don’t take my posts so personally, please, ksk

They’re are many who believe they have a lot of young talent, only lacking elite, top-end producers.

Bron just kinda fuddy duddied that narrative. And if Kawhi comes, welp...

 

[Trouty]

Seriously, tho, is there more of a human specimen on this planet than Klay Thompson?!

I feel like he and Mike Trout would be bff’s. I need to pry Mike away from that ******* Eagles bastid Wentz.

It literally kills me. A pure majestic like Mike Trout fraternizing with a ginger eeyore like Carson. I don’t like it.

Wait...

What thread is this. Oh yeah, Klay!

What a guy, that Klay Thompson.

Wait! Still wrong thread!

— Lakers are dumb. They overpaid. Bron is washed up. Took the money...

I’m done.
