He was referring to a bleacher report article from 2016.

He posted it a few pages later.

But, @True Lakers Fan .....I was wrong.

At least 1 person mentioned it.
Oh this will be great. LeBron...Magic Johnson will obviously come out of retirement for like the 5th time and they can probably wheel Jerry West's arthritic ass out as a 6th man.

Hey Rizzo....my aunt fannie could have coached that team to a title. Put the whiskey bottle down for a few

Your Aunt Fannie should get an agent and start interviewing.

I hate you, @Shanemansj13. You're $35 behind me for 10th place all-time in SportsHoopla winnings. You've been coming on like gangbusters lately.

I would laugh all three of my balls clean off if this happened. To see all of the Lebron-obsessed Lakers fans (every single Laker fan on Earth, especially @trojanfan12), pull a complete 180 on James would be hysterical.

First of all, it ain't happening.

Second, if it were to happen, I've already said, I would look at him the same way I do Kobe. I never liked Kobe, but I appreciate all of the wins, great moments and 5 titles the Lakers likely wouldn't have without him.

On local espn radio this morning: "Coming up at 2... Why we think tonight is the last game LeBron will play in a Cavs uniform."

Are people stupid? LeBron is under contract. Are the Cavs going to trade away LeBron?

Doesn't he have an opt out at the end of the season?

Your aunt fannie was too busy taking the D.

You do realize a 3-1 never ever happened before until last year, against one of the "greatest teams ever". Like I said, aunt fannie needs to stick with what she does best

Yeah, but Cleveland is one of the franchises, imo, that its all worth it just for the 1 trophy. To Heat fans and Laker fans that sounds crazy. But to CLE fans, its all worth it.

Considering the Cavs cap situation when they got those guys, it doesn't sound all that crazy to this Lakers fan. Players have different value for different teams based on what the team needs and what the player provides.

TT, for example, provides something the Cavs need (rebounding and defense) that they couldn't get from any other source because they didn't have the room under the cap. He is basically the Cavs version of AC Green on the Showtime Lakers. He does the dirty work. They don't have to run any plays for him or worry about him complaining about touches. On a team with 3 all stars and a couple of former all stars, that's a valuable guy to have.

Had they let TT walk, they wouldn't be able to replace him with anyone else who could provide what he does at the level he does it.

TT isn't worth that money to probably any other team in the league. But, imo, he's worth every penny to the Cavs.

Son graduated last night....weird and bizarro moment for me. Seems like just yesterday I was chasing his little ass around. Now, he's 6-4 and all grownup.
