Honestly it's ok.

He's committed completely for 3 years for sure right? 2019 is looking more like when (if*) the bigger available names free up.

I'd like to see LeBron with our youngsters Zo, Kuz, BI, & Hart. Assuming they all stay throughout the season and no more trades go down. Despite the world collectively gasping at Boogie joining the empire. I'm looking forward to the Lakers this season, it's gonna be fun.

I don’t understand what they’re doing. They sign LeBron and follow that up Rondo, Lance, McGee? They’re going to get more techs than FG’s. I’m going to assume they’re not done making deals though.

And even though it’s looking like a 100% lock GS wins it all again, you can’t just throw in the towel... anything can happen.

I'm not disagreeing, it's just going to be really strange to see a wasted year of LeBron, that's just something nobody would have ever expected to see. He could be part of a first round exit club for the first time in his career. Just new territory.

Not that much more wasted than last season with the Cavs. At least the Lakers have some good playmakers to help him out this time. And he likely won't hurt his finals record, win.

Can't lose in the Finals if you don't make it there Vni. Chess not checkers.

If we were getting Miami age LeBron, I be thinking "Championships or bust, bitches", but the over 54,000 career total minutes LeBron, I just want to see some solid playoff runs and no passive-aggressive social media drama. I know that I'm in the minority with that opinion.

Yeah, I got to think they likely arent done. The 1st thing I wondered when I saw that they signed Rondo was, could it be that they may consider moving Lonzo. I doubt they will, but I thought maybe they had enough of Lavar after 1 yr,lol.

Does seem odd to add both Rondo and Lance to pair with Lebron, since Lebron teams are at their best when they surround Lebron with shooters instead of playmakers. So adding both of them along with Lonzo, seems kind of odd when none of them are good perimeter shooters. Although I do think Lonzo's shooting will get better, and with Lebron he will likely get more open shots.


I had to laugh when I saw that they signed Lance, Im going to miss seeing Lance annoying Lebron, as you always knew when we played Lebron, that there would be 2 shows, the regular game, and the game Lance would play to annoy Lebron.
I was surprised that we didnt keep Lance, for all his antics, he was a key piece. So I was disappointed that we didnt keep Lance.

Yeah that's what I mean.

I'am really excited and surprised (in a good way) that Lebron came because he put the lakers back in the picture but at the moment I don't really see how we (eat that dub) are going to win a championship in the next couple of years. Will see though, might be a huge off season next year.
