I don’t doubt it but I think he comes back on a team friendly deal. Don’t think he wants to leave his family at 42.

yup no chance. i honestly can’t see him staying with lakers atp unless serious changes are made. he literally has 1-2 seasons left and he knows it too. honestly think lebron should go on a team that’s good in the regular season so he can coast and then lock in for playoffs

Tbh I think he just stays with the Lakers cause it’s easier logistically for the rest of his life. Bro’s tryna be a media exec.

Shit he can come to the spurs. The lakers can have Fox. We all win.

Assuming it’s only 1 year is very bold of you

A 45 year old Lebron playing 20 minutes off the bench might win 6moty. Ancient Lebron as your 3rd or 4th option, first guy off the bench, would elevate any team trying to contend

LeBron, welcome to Oklahoma city.

He’s playing with bryce at this point

I hope he actually ring chases and takes a big pay cut for la to sign another good player or a pay cut on a top end team. Makes me sick that draymond has the same amount of rings.

These guys are just wired differently. He should retire. He’s accomplished everything a normal person would ever hope and dream to accomplish.

But yet there’s always more.

Same thing happened with Brady.

Hes retiring

Dude unless he is going to the Thunder what is the point, that team is God Tier.

Yeah he’s definitely got a shot

I don’t think he’s done enough personally

Need to see a few more good years out of him

IDK, Bill Belichick didn’t get in on his first ballot, and he’s won like six more Super Bowls than LeBron

Thanks Magic

Idk man he hasn’t accomplished much. Might be 2nd or 3rd ballot tbh

Damn, wild take but we’ll see

Hot take

The sky is blue

Possibly

If you split his career into thirds, he has three first-ballot cases, right?

People are saying.

Need Charles Barkley to weigh in on that

Thanks for not lying to us

ballsy take man but i can definitely see it. maybe if he can get another ring or two thatd lock him in

As a rookie? No shot. Maybe when he does something in a few years

Yeah only because everyone gets into the hall of fame

Wow no shit?

At this point of his career its playing with house money, him playing in the playoffs is kind of uncharted territory with his level of usage and importance; most vets are trying mentor the younger starting lineup rather than be the primary engine/playmaker of the offense (in the Lakers case it was out of necessity).

OKC is so fucking stacked. Maybe the most annoying thing about the SGA debate is anyone that knows ball knows he has a bench that is deep as fuck. The calls, refs, and bullshit aside OKC is stacked as fuck. Nugs with a hobbled MPJ and Gordon game 7 last year were our last hope.

I would’ve been more surprised if the Lakers had won a single game. Like, I don’t know how anybody is viewing this as a knock on them.

JJ coached the hell out of this team, LeBron did his thing, there was just never a realistic shot of making this more than a 4-2 series at best.

I think if you swap him and SGA the Thunder cream the Lakers - he played just as well as the presumptive MVP, and I genuinely doubt Shai gets more out of these Lakers teammates

LeBron hitching his wagon to pelinka was his biggest problem.   Pelinka failed to address the center spot, improve the margins, and hit on first rd picks.   

My pookie ❤️

We aren’t getting depth by not resigning LeBron. There is no one in FA who jumps out, and Rui/Smart/Kennard are all gonna cost a good chunk of the FA money.. Ayton picks up his player option

So you get rid of LeBron, who do you pay? Go look at the FA list

he should go back to the east like cavs or pistons

LeBron is not the reason this team doesn’t have depth just FYI, the Lakers management has fielded 1 good roster in the last like 15 years and that one year was because LeBron did his thing and got AD to choose the Lakers.

Not going to happen. You’re going to be stuck paying him the MAX until he retires.

[removed]

they need someone at SF lol

I hope - they have a good shot at winning if he joins them (assuming he finds a role behind Mitchell)

LeBron getting evil smiled by Brooks all game would be a brutal way to end his career

it doesn’t make sense for LeBron to leave the lakers when he has a very healthy Luka running it back next season, it also didn’t make sense to send Luka to the Lakers for AD so who knows.

Too bad he probably won’t experience new ownership’s management considering how well they did with Dodgers

Fuck Jeanie is all I can say

People really sleep on how insane it is that a 41-year-old is still the best player on a playoff team.

I don’t know how a functioning human can say this. Do you read anything on this sub?

If Cleveland loses this round I could see them blowing it up to get Giannis

Their roster is so far away from actually competing it’s not even funny.

The got an easy matchup in the 1st round otherwise they likely would’ve been out in the 1st round, this just is not a serious roster and it’s not looking good for them next year either based on their available trade assets, the FA market, their potential young talent, and the guys they have that they can resign.

and whatever the case may be

As a Cavs fan and a hater of golden state, I actually agree. Unc Steph and LeBron would be a fun send off year

I recall listening to a commentator saying that LeBron has never missed a Playoff game. It’s difficult to believe that’s true considering the amount of star players who get injured either before or during the Playoffs, but with Lebron, you can’t bet against it. It truly is insane to think about how he’s been available for every Playoffs his team has been a part of.

Lmao.

Youve seen far worse. Kobe’s last season was a 6 month circlejerk while he shot like 35% on the worst Lakers team ever. He’s the best player ever at this stage of their career by so far it’s unfathomable and some people will point that out. Get over it.

Only 4 in 19 playoff runs? Most players don’t even make it to the playoffs 4 times in their entire careers son.

In fact that are teams in the NBA right now that haven’t made the playoffs 4 times in the duration of Lebron’s career.

Buddy your boy playing golf in cancun after getting used as a mop to wipe the floor …… In the PLAY-IN. Please tell me how its less embarrassing than being swept by the defending champs.

Your post are embarrassing btw

Buddy unc Steph didn’t even make it past the play-in, worry about that. Out here hating on a man that came to the second round while stanning a dude that went to cancun straight from the play-in.
