LABron James Discussion: The Final Year?

LLLLLebron will never be a Laker. I'm speaking it into existence.

 

I could see her in my lap as well... In my dreams...

I could watch that rabbit haul a** for hours. lol.

 

sorry not sorry

I know some of you want him here, but I absolutely don't. I'll continue to add content to the site as I have time, and probably add a submit content link, but it will have to do for now.



BTW, in the bottom of every post are links to Lakersball. If you decide to browse the site, please take a second to click on a link or two to tell Google it's getting some traffic. There are no ads (Yet), but the backlinks are specifically for Lakersball SEO. Our rankings for key words has continued to improve this year, and we show up very well for many key search words/phrases.



I put links on every post on Lakergifs as well, and I track progress on key words. Any clicks that come from associated basketball sites are a positive, so if you think about it, please click a link or two for the heck of it. Again, no revenue, just some basic traffic. If you type any of those key words, you'll see we show up next to much more established sites. Unfortunately there really isn't any credit for the old CL historical rankings, but overall being able to be found will help us grow the site over time. Thanks.

and if you hate Lebron, double thanks!

 

Guessing this is how you and LT feel.

 

ill click as many links as you need me to. my hate of LeBron has no bounds

 

As an example, I just did a search in Yahoo for the key phrase "Laker fans" as I just started dropping links online to Lakersball for that phrase. Since about a week ago, we went from 37th to 8th for that key word. Hopefully when we're done we'll show up on the first page of all search engines for key words or phrases we want to.

Lebron is a gold mine for material, so it was very easy to put together the site over a couple of days lol. And why yes, I did tag Lebron.

 

You rock brother! :Headbang:

 

100%. I don't understand the Anti-LeBron crowd. "Yeah, we don't want the undisputed best player in the league, who makes every team he is on immediate Conference Final (if not NBA Final) caliber just by his presence, on our team! That's for the birds!" Just stupid. I'd like to see my team play past late April for the first time in, oh, about 6 years sometime soon.

Don't get me wrong, I like Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram and all, but I'd trade them all for one person: Larry O'Brien

 

Yeah, it's never really dawned on me (being not a local) that Laker fans would potentially see themselves as "right way/homegrown" types. I mean, I get that Magic and Kobe were lifers, but the teams history is littered with "hired guns": Kareem, Shaq, Pau...not going to list every role player that was acquired from outside the organization, but you get the gist. As someone who roots for actual "small market" teams in other sports, I wouldn't think other Laker fans would bat an eye at "quick fixing" the franchise by getting a guy like LeBron. That's who we are. We "buy" titles, like the Cowboys and the Yankees. I'm comfortable with that.

 

It's not just "stupid" like trading "them all" referring to the young crown jewells of our roster would be, though. For a small window chance at a Larry O'brien with no guarantees against GS for still a couple of years and then we are f***** in the future with no coming into their primes young stars / superstars. When LeBron's personality many of us cannot stand and the media circus that would be ALL about LeBron 24/7 at the age of 34-35 for huge dollars and as he becomes no longer worth it very likely ages 37-38.

That said I have done a 180 with my thinking of locking PG first and then seeing who wants to play with him that the FO in their wisdom likes A LOT. Since PG's situation just became much more questionable as to becoming a Laker in 2018. So bird in hand has to kick in. If our young talent and this year's roster shows what it should show and LBJ is the first to want to come here (without stupid gutting of young talent for him) then so be it. Come on in.

 

the more content I post and dig up, the more I want to throw up thinking about signing LLLLLebron.

 

Okay, so first things first: I do apologise. Calling other "stupid" for having a differing opinion was baseless, unnecessary and flirting the line with "personal attack" that most message boards have rules against. It was a poor choice of verbage.

You may be right, but I've learned that there is always some "budding, young superstar" that is untouchable. Ultimately, the likely scenario is that there is a <5% chance either kid becomes as good as even 33 year old LeBron. It's Peter Griffin picking the mystery box over the boat because, "Anything could be in there, EVEN A BOAT!"

As opposed to the very miniscule coverage that the Ball family will be receiving this season in relation to the actual, on court Lakers? And how is LeBron's petty subtweeting any worse/different than "Mamba Mentality"?

All evidence that is currently available says this is incorrect. LeBron has never had any major injury, even with the fullest of schedules (7 straight Finals appearances, USA Basketball, off court commitments). He has been the pinnacle of fitness and taking care of ones body since he has come into the league and has time and time again showed to possess one of the highest basketball IQs (which is always upgrading) we have ever seen, which, unless he develops VERY EARLY onset dementia, should still be there at 37-38.
