LeBron James Discussion: Not Returning To The Lakers

There you have it



They'll be a really good team. Surprised narrative wise that he chose a new team and not a return to what he knows.

Now let's get the rest of FA over with.

 

If he wins a ring with a 4th team... That's big. Philly has a massive drought... I think it makes sense.

This tells me they couldn't find anyone to pay Harden the money Cleveland wink wink'd at the deadline. If he could have gotten paid elsewhere and someone is routed back to Cleveland, I think that seals it.

 

The wait is finally over. Thank God.

 

lol @ jaylen brown. wanting to finally be "the guy" and then lebron says not so fast

interesting choice, but that sixers team is looking pretty damn good now

 

Yeah, best choice from a legacy perspective. He can win a ring in every team he played for. And they have a really good shot, that's a dope team.

May have some chemistry, fluidity issues with Joel in and out while the others are also figuring it out.

Expected a more flashy news break. A shams post is underwhelming lol

Glad this is over and offseason can move on. Let's see if Cleveland goes to Kuminga as advertised, still don't get why he'd go there vs here, he'll probably be a bench player

 

Remember how the East keeps trading with the East? Yeah, have fun with that SLUG FEST now in the Playoffs. Hope you guys have energy to play the West in the Finals.

 

Lebitch pack your bags to the east where you belong. # always looking for the easiest road by ring chasing or finding easier schedule

 

LOL Philly?? Haha he’s going to get Embiid and Jaylen Brown traded by mid season

 

far easier out east. his only real competition out east is the knicks

C Bags will probably find a way to win 50+ games, but tatum and PG are not making a deep run
cavs aren't serious contenders as long as old a** harden is there
pacers could be back, but haliburton's health is a big question mark
raptors could contend depending on the kawhi trade
heat don't have a bench

now compare that to having to go through jokic, wemby, and SGA. there's a reason why the spurs were gassed by the time they got to the finals

 

i think you have to have philly near the top of the favorites. the issue will be requiring embiid and lebron to make it through 4 rounds of playoffs. i'm not betting on this, tbh.

east has a bunch of top heavy teams, wouldn't surprise me if boston and indy finished 1/2 in the regular season.

anyway, philly winning a ring would be preferable to a lot of other options, so that's good.

i'm mad he didn't choose cleveland just for my own selfish laker fan reasons.

 

Honestly, Brown/VJ/Maxey is enough to sleepwalk into a mid-seed in the East. They made the playoffs with Embiid playing 35 games last year. Embiid/LBJ will be load managed well lol

The Sixers must've had one of the best offseasons on paper that I've seen in a long time.

Traded Paul George for Jaylen Brown, drafted Labaron Philon, signed Dean Wade, Anfernee Simons, and now LBJ.

Why can't get we get as lucky?

 

eh, the brown trade was basically our luka trade--saved them from going off the cliff. the other pickups were nice (wade, simons), but not mind-blowing. obviously lebron at the minimum is a huge win, though.
