You just need him for the playoffs anyway.

That's usually when he goes down though.

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

The entire Eastern Conference is on their knees praying that Lebron to LA story comes to fruition next year.

Also, when does Woj and the rest of The Vertical crew make the ESPN move official?

Sounds like he's already got the ESPN virus

Blake gets injured twice a year. Regular season then the playoffs.

He's always going to be NEEDED because he's never there

Except Woj isn't the first person I have heard say it. When I hear it from one guy with little clout, I shrug it off. But hearing it from Woj as well, I put a little more faith in it. Odds go from 2% to 5%.

Only other person I heard it from was I believe Kevin O'Connor from The Ringer and even in his case, he just played the "Sources are reporting" card.

I heard it from Brian Scalabrine yesterday. I didn't even post it because of the whole Klay Thompson thing earlier this season. Thought Boston was looking at making a move for Klay and then a day or 2 later, retracted the story.

Versus what exactly? Is there any other kind of reporting? It's not like anybody is going to get LeBron on the record saying he's leaving lol. And it was "rumblings around the league" to be exact.

At any rate, we have Woj, Kevin O'Connor, Mitch Lawrence, Dave McMenamin, Jalen Rose, and Brian Scalabrine all saying he's leaving/there's a very real chance he leaves. And of course LeBron's old quote about how he hopes to team up with the Banana Boat gang at some point.

The only person we're really missing is Zach Lowe, and of course the legendary Incarcerated Bob

Yeah because Klay came looking to put his hands on him and he ran.

Dude was lying on Klay

Exactly why I literally brushed the rumor over yesterday. But hearing it from Woj, I put a little faith in believing it.

LeBron has been to 8 straight Finals feasting on the eastern conference. Why would he go to the west? It makes no sense whatsoever. Especially when that Laker team in no way ensures him a chance to get by GS.

He could've went the Broussard route and we've seen what happened to him and how "reliable" he's become.

Anyway, I wasn't posting that to call him out. Just telling Red who else I heard it from.

I wouldn't have posted it either considering who it was coming from.

Well the talk was that he'd join PG13 to sign with the Lakers.

But would the Lakers be able to offer a max contract to him and also keep their high-lotto players? Or they let someone like Randle leave and maybe a couple of others.
