    its a lose lose situation

    he probably is in better shape than anyone else on the team and wouldn't have any issues playing 35-36 minutes a game. don't think there's any athlete in sports history who has put more time and money into preserving his body than lebron, not to mention he's clearly got some freakishly good genes

    but at the same time, you also run the risk of running him into the ground like kobe in 2013 and then everyone will ask why the lakers didn't restrict his minutes

    I'm a bit confused with Lebron pushing back on minutes restrictions. He was usually gassed late in games with minute restrictions anyway. He's definitely no spring chicken.

    Got to admit I was wrong about LeBron. After getting past those nagging injuries he is back to being the best player in the league and it is not even close. LeBron doesn't need anyone to manage his minutes. He knows better than anyone what he needs. He needs rest he will rest. With JJ unleashing AR, Max and Knecht we are in a great spot to tie up them darn c-rags again.

    the clip was from last year with Ham, so it's odd it's coming up now.

    That may be a tad too optimistic LOL.

    I will say this though - he looks good and if he (and AD) can have another healthy season, we could still be in the mix.

    The Lakers are more focused on “making history” than they are on actually starting the season out strong and winning. Why aren’t we just calling it what it is? It’s one of the most selfish & narcissistic assaults on meritocracy in sports.
    It's getting ridiculous lol
    Why you didn't f***ing complain when Antenokumpo brothers were playing in NBA

    It's not that deep imo.
    I prefer he wasn't here, but it's fine if it's a couple of minutes in a game, just to get it done

    no, when the bucks pay thanassis, it's just good business keeping the star happy. when we pay kostas, it's just being cagey and remaining in good graces. if another team drafted bronny, it was 4d chess!

    This is offensive to me as a game developer, but not as a NBA fan.

    I'm more surprised by the day that Ham lasted the entire season. That was Bron on opening night. Plus all the dirt everyone has piled on Ham's grave over the summer and training camp/pre-season. It's a shame they didn't find a way to tie him to a chair in a hotel closet and leave him there for maid service.
