I do not want Lebron on the Lakers. He can keep his Candy ass in Cleveland. Our team is finally in a position to start a Dynasty.

LAkers are gonna sign Cousins this offseason- let him come along slowly--- let the young guys develop another year- add another lotto pick to the mix while Cousins gets healthy--- and then sign Klay the following offseason.

PG- Ball
SG- Klay
SF- Ingram
PF- Kuzma
C- Cousins

much better fit for Ball if you ask me. Ball doesnt really fit with LBJ- and LBJ will be 34 in December.

Not sure it matters what you want though...

Yeah I agree, I don't want Lebron on the Lakers. James maybe has 3/4 more years in him and I'm sure he will demand a max contract.

So you're telling me they won't run it by him before coming to a final decision?

Yeah damn good point. It doesn't really matter what any of us want.

Certainly plausible, Lakers would be a good place for Klay if he wants to leave.

You know what else is plausible? The Lakers sign LeBron and PG and fuck Lavar's no free throw shooting son. Titles > Lonzo's development. Boogie is not a winner.

You can console yourself with the 2-3 titles he gets you.

What makes you think the Lakers will win a NBA title just because they sign LeBron? Do you think if LeBron signs with the Clippers, they will automatically win a title.

The scenario under discussion is LeBron AND another max player (likely Paul George) signs with the Lakers.

James/George/Kuzma/Ingram/Ball is a legit contender, and the Ws are nearing the end of their window.

I dunno man.

Seeing how Indiana is better than last year and how OKC is folding just doesnt give me a great feeling about PG as a winner. There just seems to be something with him where the sum of the parts is just not equal to the whole if you catch my drift.

Yeah well you say a lot of things.

Oh, and the thing with him is Westbrook. James will make him better, as you'd certainly agree.

You really think that team beats the Warriors? Especially given their empty bench?

Like I said---- if James and George signed i think Ball is traded

How do LeBron and Ball share the court? LeBron has the ball in his hands the whole time. Dude is not gonna play off the ball. He wouldnt play off the ball with freaking Kyrie Irving.

Ball is a terrible fit with LeBron if you ask me. Ive watched LeBron a long time and a LOT of games and a point guard who cant shoot and takes the ball out of LEBrons hands since the PG needs the ball in his hands is just about the worst skill set I could imagine playing with LeBron.

Ball setting up scorers like Klay and Cousins? I think a solid fit---- Ball running the point and LeBron playing off the ball? Over LeBron's dead body.

they would get slaughtered.

The bench will be filled with David West types chasing rings. You see how hard it is for the Ws this year. Next year will be even harder. And I am of the camp that thinks the Big 4 will not be together after next year. I'm not saying it's a lock, titles never are. But that team is as good as any.
