LeBron going to the Lakers?

[ktheodos]

I think he was just getting frustrated with Cleveland and feels Lakers have a chance with coaches and players...he really doesn't need the money, I think it's just something to help him promote himself and his value.

    I've been a CAVS fan even before I left Ohio years ago. I wrestled against his high school as a student back in the day. He even built a big house near my old neighborhood.  This is the 2nd time his has left the CAVS. He has broken many hearts because of the money. He does not play for his fans or his hometown. Shame on you Lebron James.. I'm glad now that you lost the championship to the Warriors.

I'm glad. I don't know too much about him, but I know he is good, & I know the Lakers is the most popular sport team in the Los Angeles area... people take them VERY seriously...  so the Lakers need to be winners.  Hopefully LeBron will Make Lakers Great Again

Everyone who assumes that he went to LA for the money should be aware that he left money on the table in Cleveland to go to LA. It wasn't about the money so much as the location for his showbiz prospects - very similar to when Shaquille moved west from Orlando.


I am about an hour away from Cleveland, but am not a Cavs fan. My wife and two daughters are Cavs fans, but they don't follow it very closely.  I grew up a Celtics fan during the Bird/McHale/Parish hey day - so they are still my team of choice. It would be nice to see another resurgence of the Celtics-Lakers rivalry.

Now that Curry is going to Portland, I don't see Golden State repeating again, especially with the Lakers getting LBJ.

That was a different Curry that went to Portland - his younger bro Seth.  Unfortunately for the league, the Warriors are still together and getting even better (if that is possible) with the addition of Boogie Cousins.

Now you can't turn on the TV without seeing Shaq in a commercial.

I saw Shaq on the Family Feud with Charles Barkley.  It was hilarious.

It's always about the money I guess if I was them I go where they're worth the most money to I hated to see DeMarcus Cousins play on his separate team from Anthony Davis but that's okay he's a wildcat forever and I will love him wherever he goes

If it's 100% true, My friends are going to be pissed but I'm going to have  a giant smirk lol.

[yikes77]

Meh.  I think he felt after the playoffs he did a lot more than what was asked for him and the team failed to do the job in the finals.

People go where the most money is .... end of story , it's always about  the money nothing else.
