The Cavs are super boned right now because of it too. Gilbert should have sold the team a few years ago, as I'm sure the value has dropped tremendously.
They got a title, so I'm happy. The next few years will be super rough, though.
Lakers will barely make playoffs. Hell they may miss them even woth lebron
I think the Lakers are better than the Thunder. The Lakers beat them twice last season.
I think Silver will push for 1-16 seeding as fast as possible. LeBron is a Laker. Going out in the first or second round wouldn't be good.
Never underestimate the stupidity of Dan Gilbert. He's renovating the Q this Summer. He'll want to pack the fans in.
Of course, we supported an 0-16 Browns team, so he should do the right thing and blow this roster up, but...
Fun seeing reactions like this. If he joined a better teams he's a bitch and ring chasing. Joins a worse team he just wants to stay pad.
Nah you can't be serious. He took a trash Cavs team to the finals and had them at 49 wins. The Lakers have better players.
**Forms a Super Team**
"What a bitch. Can't do it the right way! He just wants easy rings!"
**Goes to Lakers by himself**
"What a loser. He cares more about fame than winning. Why didn't he form a super team with Philly/Houston/Boston?"
The Lakers are a better team with LeBron than the Cavs with LeBron so I don't understand this sentiment.
Yeah didn't know if they r bringing that back. Still imagine u r the captain.
They are playing in a significantly harder conference now. I don't doubt he can make the playoffs, but I doubt how far they can go without another star player. I would bet money on them not making it to the conference finals as currently constructed.
Lonzo May end up better than say, Hill but last season? Can't say he was definitely. Can't shoot. Will he be better? Yes, one day
Can't say Ingram is better than Love. Will he be? One day maybe.
Kuzma is good and the rest of both transnational is average. The Cavs aren't dramatically worse than last years Lakers team.
You're talking a C+ or a C/C-. The Lakers have so much stronger competition. OKC, MIN, UTAH, PORT, not to mention GSW and HOU.
True but at the same time imagine u r the captain and u r going to have to be cutthroat.
My definition of contending is having a chance to win, even if it's not a good one. Without seeing this Lakers team play I can't see them having a chance against a motivated Warriors team. But could they upset the Rockets? Yeah.
What's important is the upside of the young core, plus the flexibility to either get Kawhi or another big free agent next summer to make the Lakers a serious title contender. I don't see it happening but Durant would be available next year lol

Worse as in he went to a team that's not loaded and competitive already like the Sixers, Rockets, etc. Not worse as in Lakers are worse than Cavs.
That doesn't even deserve a time line of its own it is so evil
I could see them getting in 8-6 if a team like Portland slips which may happen since Dame reportedly wants out
LeGM underrated
got a ring, fucked dan gilbert as much as he could and still get a ring, and set up his own departure
Quite honestly, the only current player I hold any real "hate" to is Durant. If he had not joined the Warriors, could you just imagine how competitive the West would be right now. As it sits, it's the many teams in the West beating each others as just to get their clocks cleaned by the Warriors. James made it more interesting, but the end result is the same thing.
wouldn't that only be the case if they actually got a 2nd max player?
lakers were always going to have space for lebron
This is what I don't get. Like, do people expect every team to just stand pat and not make any moves unless it guarantees they can take down the Warriors? The Lakers have been trash the last 5 years and now they just signed the best player in the league. Of course people are excited/hopeful/enthusiastic. "But they'll still lose to the Warriors!" just sounds like sour grapes.
Must have got bored of stacking teams in the East to guarantee finals berths.
I have nothing against his decision. If that is what makes him happy, then so be it.
And for the record....I never wanted him on my Rockets for that exact reason.
How many guards do Portland need, let alone guards around 6'2".
Edit: lol what a huge typo from Woj there. Still, they have like a million guards.

Oh there's the ring chasing argurment!
"Make superteam WOW typical Lebron stacking the chips in his favor!"
"WOW Lebron not making a superteam? Must be chasing stats! WOW"
Bummed to see LeBron go but I can't be mad at him. Did a lot for the city and I think he's leaving on good terms.
I'm really interested in seeing what the Lakers squad ends up looking like. LeBron doesn't care about the young core, he's going to make sure they get guys in there that can win now. Every year you have LeBron on your team your goal is a title. You don't just wait a year and hope more help shows up. I could see that whole group blown up. I'm sure there's a lot of vets that could be had.

$6.5 million for Hezonja? None of these teams understand how bad the player market is christ. There's going to be so so many minimums coming up soon
