LABron James Discussion: 21st Season - Setting New Standards

Let’s just everybody calm down a bit

It’s just offseason speculation, and none of us know jack about what will really happen

 

Cuban may offer it? Does Cuban even run the Mavs anymore? Or do his sex addicts?

 

If the Lakers have a great off season, Randle will not be a part of it. Lakers have waited long enough with zeros on their team. It's time for the hero's to arrive.

Arguing over a role player is comical.

 

Well even if you consider Randle a role player, sometimes NBA Finals MVP’s can be role players. (Iguadala)

Either way, role players are essential parts of any team. To have a dedicated, versatile, defensively minded/capable young guy like Randle available, it wouldn’t surprise me if management chooses to lock him in and considered him a key part of the puzzle.

If they don’t, I’ll trust they have a better solution in mind, but no way I’m as quick to dismiss him as you are.

But I think everyone agrees that a role player shouldn’t be paid like a Star. Hopefully the market has corrected itself, and we won’t find ourselves in a position to have to make that decision

 

Did you just call me a dummy? hahahahah

 

ya'all are a bunch of potty mouths

 

@sirronstuff @Lakeshow85 2 more to go!

 

Wow...never thought I'd saay this....but I think LeBron is actually coming here if he gets beat by the Kyrie-less and Hayward-less C Bags.

Or he's going to Philly...

 

Everything you just said, I actually agree with. In fact, I've said it before hahaha.

I wouldn't pay Al Horford max type money, but that dude is far more deserving of it than Jules. Without Horford, the Cbags defense goes to s***. He's an allstar and he's spearheading this current Cbags run in the postseason right now. You can't say that definitively about Jules. Heck, even Smart is impressing me (+21 to lead his dirty team tonight) and that dude is projected to get the 8.6M MLE during the summer. So I'm with you in that Jules cannot and should not be given near max to max dollar.

However, you can't let an asset like Jules just walk away. I would be disappointed if Bron/PG wouldn't be open to a haircut off their max to accommodate Jules into our cap restrictions. But if they do take a modest cut off their max, then Jules is another great asset to either hold onto (via a team friendly deal) or trade away for another disgruntled star (via a matched near max deal). You got to hold onto that asset and not allow him to just walk away. We did it with Pau and we did it with Dwight and its still haunting us, cause we could have traded them to teams that clearly still hold value towards those type of frontline players.

 

no way lebron would be open to that...he barely has any hair of his own left as it is!!

 

What you're watching is his Cleveland look. I'm talking about his LA look...and yes, he'll have plenty left after his "haircut".

 

you're right. he'll easily be able to find some hair plug connect when he gets to la...in fact im starting to think that may be his main motivation in coming here

 

Zo will assist him with some after he grows out his waves this summer.

Or just hit up the UCLA Health Training Center barber chair and ask for the Mr. Clean..damn bruh..

 

Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kumza and Lonzo Ball would have to make giant leaps to threaten the Warriors and a healthy C Bags team next year with PG and Lebron.

What would put the Lakers in prime position is if they traded for Kawhi Leonard using the draft picks and either BI or Kuz.

I chose BI in the trade because Kuzma is what the league is now. 6'10 verticital, long and can shoot.

I've heard some say we should wait til next year so we won't give up anything, however, I don't think we can do that without unloading Deng contract and not sign Randle.

 

i know some want lebron, some hate lebron but dam how can a laker fan bring themselves to cheer for those green turds?

 

To me LLLLLebron and the C bags are in the same hate basket.
In the big picture it really doesn't matter who comes out of the East because the Warriors would annihilate them anyway.
The only reason I'd prefer the C bags this year is because the media hype would be annoying if LLLLLebron makes the Finals 8 times in a row.
So I'm not cheering for them but it's about the lesser of two evils.
