Did James Sign With Lakers?

[packerd_00]

Sure it does, problem is you guys all want it to make sense on the court when that isn’t most important thing to him. I’m sure he believes they will get it done in LA but he also didn’t make the move to win rings. That something ya’ll worried bout more than he is.

Nah mate,these guys are all about the ego,Lebron especially.Hes been chasing a ghost since he came into the League.

[2daBank]

Well see, but I'd be shocked if there's not another move coming.

Of course he'll be measured against Kobe now moreso than ever before

I would think this is his last contract it would put him at 37 at the end.

I’m sure they will prob get somebody, if not this year they will surely add next. I just don’t think he made this move because of anything to do on the court and everything to do with wanting to be in LA.

[Venom72]

This is gonna be fun.. I just hope Lebron doesn't start get injured.. Lebron automatically makes a team playoff worthy.. I also don't think Lebron would have signed if he didn't think another star was coming.. Leonard from the Spurs probably in the works now...

One of the few times ive actually agreed with everything you said

[jjgold]

Worst decision of his life for basketball

With how quick it happened, I can't disagree with that. He definitely wanted to be there.

Everyone thinks it's a forgone conclusion kawhi goes to the lakers bc it fits a specific narrative

No way does pop or the San Antonio front office think that hakuna matata or whatever other garbage players the lakers have is worth a third of kawhi

The stats are meaningless bc the lakers played with a top 5 pace and was a terrible team which means trash players like ingram, range and akuzma matata will have heavily inflated stats

Typical 20 ppg players on 20 win teams. No way are they worth kawhi

[The Kraken]

They can hang on to Leonard and risk him playing half ass for half the season and thenbowing out due to injury

Hes done in SA

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Are they burning jerseys in Cleveland yet?

[2daBank]

Are they burning jerseys in Cleveland yet?

I doubt that happens this go round. He brought those losers a championship they havnt had in any sport for how long?? They should be framing those Jersey and saying “thank you” as he sails off to a much better place.

[Venom72]

Are they burning jerseys in Cleveland yet?

Im sure some idiots will, but they should be nothing but thankful that he came back and got that trash ass franchise a title and made them relevant

Did you hear what they we're asking the Sixers for him,two roster guys and three first Rd picks.

[thetrinity]

4th year player option.

He'll be there 3 years minimum.

I doubt he has 4 great years left personally.

Will be 34 December 30, plus all these extra games, no college years with the shorter season, olmypics etc.

I could see him starting to decline year 3

[Otters27]

What is Lakers starting line up now

[ikid2groove415]

[krk1030]

wont win without paul george. even if you get kawhi now you have to gut the team to do it.

I’m surprised he isn’t starting to decline already to be honest. Absolutely he will be by year 3 if not sooner.

Lavar will guarantee Championship no later than tomorrow.

[JIBBBY]

What is Lakers starting line up now

Brook Lopez, Julius Randle, Ingram, Lebron and Lonzo Ball..

I mean he's worth it but teams have some leverage bc of the widely known situation of unrest with the spurs and kawhi. I think the franchise can thank popovich for that

Sixers should jump on that, they will be contenders for the next several yrs so their 1st round will be late. The odds of a first round let alone top 5 pick becoming a player like kawhi are slim

[Slipknot26]

Man , people keep doubting the guy . He's actually gotten better as an all around player the older he has got .
He will still be better than 99.9% in the NBA in 3 or 4 years . That's what taking care of your body will get you , he doesn't spend a Million+ for nothing .
The Lakers still suck ass with or without him . Lakers want it simply for media attention , they're absolute garbage .
LeBron may actually want the same

Not doubting him it just the way it is. You can take care of yourself all you want it inevitable your body starts breaking down. Maybe if he was playing some easy thing like nfl qb id agree but the wear and tear on his body undeniable. Yes his all around game improved this year but he only has few of these where body still in top shape left. Talk to me in 3 years and if he still same I’ll be beyond impressed.

[brooks85]

Still needs a solid #2 player(hopefully kwahi) and a big man..you need a solid big man to beat golden state id go after cousins

He has what he really wants in LA; Hollywood and movie deals.

[Thrilla]

Jibbby we knew during that LBJ moving to GSW rumour, couple months ago.

It was either LA or NY. LBJ likes these cities...remember?

[lakerboy]

Lakers are 4 in the West right now. James is the ultimate game changer. Surprised no one here knows that.

Now they get kawhi and keep Ingram they are 2 years away from going to the finals.

Father time is undefeated. People said the same shit about Kobe. Play to 40 blah blah blah. This will probably end the same way as Kobe. Him playing some bull shit finale mid April 2022 then he retires.

How many great years do you think he has left?

He's going to be 34 early in the season.

[2Shirts]

It's why they decided to legalize gambling. Keep some sort of fan interest since most teams in small markets have zero chance of winning
.

Shoulda stayed in the east

either a fool or wants to half retire

either way NBA sucks now

[lakerboy]

2 very good years. Now let me get straight on this. He is the Tom Brady of the NBA. You get me pal? Don't count him out. I don't like this move but let's see how it PLAYS out. I think he wins a ring in la. I'm good with that
