Where do the Lakers go from here...?

[Wamu]

When he signs with the Lakers.....it's going to be unbearable on here for all.

Oh if LeBron goes to your Lakers I'm buying an industrial sized popcorn machine. The comments will be classics.

I just don't see him staying with the Cavs.

It would appear very unlikely at this point, especially since they don't have tradeable assets to improve, outside of #8.

So yer sayin' nobody wants JR?

 

[Wamu]

Anyone else miss Papa Ball? Where has that blabbermouth been lately? It's not like him to keep himself outta the headlines. He better fire his agent & represent himself.

Even you gotta admit LeBron wearing the LePurple & LeGold would create some funny comments. I'm telling you it would be epic. The jokes will be endless!

You haven't been paying attention I guess, or at least the media scrum for his quotes has died down. He was recently blaming the Lakers' trainer for Lonzo's injuries during the season.

I just can't see it. He would basically negate what Simmons does. It's not like Ben can spread the floor for him.

.......and he said all 3 Sons will sign for pennies to play together since they are making so much money off the court.

yeah, i'm still thinking that too, actually...

My point was there's no other viable option. Don't think he'd go to Philly after that shitshow with the Tweets.

I would be very surprised to see LeBron James come to the Lakers this summer. The Lakers are not playoff ready with the young players. I think the problems are as such

1. The young players are still young, inexperienced and need more development.

2. LeBron already will see that these players need more time on the floor to develop and grow. He went through that with Irving and this point he doesn't want to be the 40 year old woman starting a new family

3. LeBron needs two really good players who like him, have some talent playing isolation ball and are willing to adjust their games. Houston has all of that and a coach who will gladly utilize talents

4. If the Lakers were to have a discussion with LeBron, I think a discussion about sharing the ball and letting the players develop and grow would have to be on the table. LeBron doesn't have the time to be a babysitter. I like the players we have, but unless you're going to trade them for serious veterans like Paul George and Leonard - the possibility of LeBron coming to the Lakers is dead on arrival.

I think Los Angeles Clippers would be a bigger consideration then the Lakers. They have a coach who can win, they have an owner who would happily build around LeBron quickly and the Clippers is a team that could easily get the players LeBron needs

Shit really? I obviously haven't been paying attention. Here's a really bad idea. How about Skippy Brainless & Stephen B. Loud interview Papa Ball? It could be a 3 part segment.

Lakers have a pretty good shot to get LeBron according to this...

There isn't a perfect situation to slot him in.

He might surprise us all and go to the Spurs.

Nobody really knows what that Dude is thinking.

I think it was an option but not now with all that has happened as of late.

"According to The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor, James is only willing to listen to free-agent pitches by the Cavaliers, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers in the offseason. It’s expected that James will opt out of his current deal and seek a full max contract that will be worth $35 million-plus per season."
