If he was dead set on living in Los Angeles the clippers made way more sense.

:Establish coach in Doc
:3 point hitters (danilo, Harris, Lou)
:Hustlers and guys that play D (Avery, Beverly, montrez)
:He wouldn't have to worry bout Kobe Stan's
: Jerry West
: They could of easily made cap room for him by trading gortat and a couple of there bench guys making 5-6 mill who are lesser known and than he could of waited for a big time player next year.
:Not to mention Shai is better than Lonzo

because the clippers are the clippers and the lakers are the lakers.

Clippers would of made more sense if he could bring the cavs a title I think he would of done OK with the clippers knowing he has Doc and Jerry West running the show and the role players are already there he would of needed just one more star.

Pretty much this. The Lakers are also just a better team+LeBron might have genuinely thought that he was going to have a 2nd superstar join him. The Lakers would've given him his best shot at attracting one, so I can see why he chose them.

Because it's the Clippers and he's LeBron James. If he's going to LA he's playing for the Lakers. It would have been a fukking laughing stock move.


He's only in LA cuz of his family and the life style breh he aint there just to play for the Lakers, basketball wise the Clippers were a better fit.

this plus Magic I think was the deciding factor. Having your damn childhood idol recruit you to come join the pantheon of greats and lead a storied franchise back to another ring is some epic shyt, hard to pass up that offer.

Though if Bron did join the Clips and brought a championship to the 2 most pathetic franchises in the NBA, would also be some GOAT shyt. Plus already a black coach so no need to fire the one in place :troll:
