If true, looks like his Finals streak comes to an end.

It depends who else they would get. Trying to take down the W’s with a new team is tough. Houston added cp3 and a couple new pieces and should have won that series. Say Lebron, PG and CP3 go to the Lakers it will be transforming the entire team but it isnt like they haven’t played together before just not on an actual NBA team. It would take time like any team but they could very well compete with the W’s. Who knows though, depends what the team would look like
if he goes to LA, which i think is a distinct possibility among his options- it will be more as a "show" then as a legit attempt to win a title unless the Lakers are somehow able to add a 3rd max guy.
If he wants to win a title strictly Houston or Philly or San Antonio are better places.
If I'm LeBron I'm lot more intrigued to go to San Antonio than the Lakers if I want to win titles. Best coach in the league winning organization, playing with another great player in Leonard. Just a few pieces away if they add LeBron
AFter the finals loss i felt like LA is a very likely destination. Although im not willing to let Julius go anymore. But i doubt both PG and LBJ will sign with the Lakers.
The problem with the Celtics is that I believe they will have to give up a couple of core guys to get him, plus, what do they do with Kyrie? I agree though, that they would have the best shot of all of the teams he's likely to go to.
I'm not buying into the Rockets. I believe that if Iggy were healthy, that series would have been over in 5. Plus, you're adding ball dominant Lebron to 2 other ball dominant stars. Who's giving up the ball?
Maybe, they have Pop to make it all work. I think the Celtics still have the best chance and I don't love their chances.
I think they would have a very good chance of beating the Rockets. The biggest problem the Lakers would have is experience, which Lebron and PG should be enough to counter much of that. Plus, the Lakers have the type of players to be able to defend the Rockets iso style pretty well.
The Warriors are the problem, but then, they're the problem for everyone.
As we all pretty much agree, there are zero perfect landing spots. Some are better than others based on what he may be looking for, but none are ideal.
BOS...I don't see LJ and Kyrie playing together again so I would scrap those thoughts. As far as the east goes...imo it's Philly or stay in CLE.
HOU...LJ imo can play with anybody, but I'm not sure Harden can...too ball needy, to be effective.
SA...if they could corral some depth to go with Kawah, and Aldridge...they would have a legitimate chance to unseat GS and win the title.
As a basketball fan I would prefer if LJ stayed in the east to offer some type of legit challenge to west.
IMO, it boils down to Clev, Philly, both LA teams, Spurs, and Houston. I can't see any other team having a legitimate chance of bringing Lebron on. Boston could do it but I don't see them doing it.
I get the history of the Lakers, really do but I stand by what I said.... Those 3 teams I mentioned I'm thinking he would got to would get clicks, and media would be nuts... It's Lebron.. and it's not like those 2 other teams suck or have no talent
No one's saying they suck. That's not the point. The point is that the media loves to talk about the Lakers because they are the NBA's glamour franchise.
When the Lakers are championship contenders. The media loves to talk about them, how great they are, how great whatever star player they have is, etc.
When the Lakers suck, they love to talk about what is wrong with the Lakers and how to fix it.
While the Lakers have had bad teams since the Dwight/Nash thing blew up...the Clippers have had arguably the best run of success in their history. Yet, everyone wants to talk about the Lakers.
Watch when the Lakers play in other cities. Even as a bad team, you will often see an unusual number of Lakers jersey's in the stands.
If you talk to/read pretty much every member of the media, they will tell you that they get far more clicks off of Lakers stories than any other team.
There is no question that wherever Lebron goes, it's going to be huge news. He's the best player in the game.
But watch, if Lebron doesn't go to the Lakers, the next biggest story after where he went will be..."Why didn't Lebron pick the Lakers and what does it mean for them?" and every talking head/talk show out there will be weighing in on that.
Of course. Still probably won't be enough. Unless that second player is Kevin Durant (not happening).
I am assuming Kyrie would be the odd man out of LeBron did a sign and trade to force his way to Boston.

This is more or less true. The Knicks are the same way and they've sucked for close to 20 years.
Where's your new avi? And when do I get paid my vcash from you?if he goes to LA, which i think is a distinct possibility among his options- it will be more as a "show" then as a legit attempt to win a title unless the Lakers are somehow able to add a 3rd max guy.
