The lakers are moving on from LeBron James after this season and LeBron feels a way. LeBron camp “Luka didn’t even want to be a laker”.

LeBron was 27 when he won his first title and he had to team up with the other two best players in his conference to do it. You nikkas think you’re slick huh. It’s over

bron needs to retire. everyone agrees with that.

i'm a reasonable bball fan and bron fan. yall are only kobe stans. and delusional lol. yall truly seethe over the guy and will never move on. seems more personal than bball related...

that said, luka is the reality you're facing. frustrating cause i want to see great bball. same thing with zion. big shoes to fill in la. not sure he's built for it.

He would, dead ass.



Similar playstyles, similar levels of fluidity/mobility. People be trying to say he play like Mike from the 2nd 3peat already to imply that he plays like an older version, I just think that Wizards version qualifies and would eat in the same way, even easier than Kawhi when he's actually playing.

This 100%

Bron is still "2nd or 3rd-Team All NBA" good.

He's not "alter your roster JUST for him" good anymore. He can slot in as the 3rd best player on a championship squad or 2nd best player on a decent squad.

Problem is that he's still healthier and in better shape than 95% of the league. His decline has been VERY gradual, to the point he doesn't realize he's fallen off. Lakers & Celtics are the alpha-franchises in the NBA. Their fandom transcends any single player and that includes Bron. People will put up with Klutch/LeGM if he's playing like Cavs/Heat Bron. No one is putting up with his shyt anymore if their goal is to win a title.

Having said that, a lot of Lakers fans will shyt on him to prop up Kobe. Loved watching Mamba but he's not in the GOAT conversation like LeBron. Kobe is on that Steph Curry-tier...Top 10/Top 12, not Top 3 to 5.

He literallly can't give full effort for four quarters anymore. So no he's not healthier than 95% of the league. What he does is very impressive for a 40 year old, but he's not a meaningful winning player any longer because he has to conserve his energy for large stretches of games. That's unsustainable come the playoffs. To me he's not even a 3rd man anymore. His best role would be as a 6th man at this stage but his ego wouldn't allow that.

Thank you. Breh couldn't score in the 4th because he's old against the Wolves. Cacs trying to say he anchored the defense but in reality JJ stuck him in the paint because it limited his liability on the perimeter and allowed him to play a little free safety, Randle actually cooked him when they went 1:1.

Luka is already a guy that can't play both sides consistently, we can't have two of them

Yes they drafted Bronny out of their hearts and because he was an excellent prospect

They also decided to select his podcast partner with 0 experience as a coach, just a huge coincidence

Why do people keep forgetting the lakers offered Dan Hurley a lucrative deal that he turned down? They went with JJ when their options were limited.

But play along to support your narrative

I disagree. I believe they wanted JJ and used Dan Hurley as a smokescreen. That offer they gave him was a obvious lowball.
