LABron James Discussion: The Final Year?

Six

What were our odds in the PG sweepstakes? Genuinely curious.

 

Ayre Abraham lol ... i just picture some pre-pubescent fat kid

 

This is from yesterday, before George signed, but still noteworthy.

Says Philly will have a chance to make a pitch, but the way Windhorst talks about them suggests they’re an afterthought. Says all the momentum is in LA’s favor and that he has plans for how he’s going to make his announcement.

“Lebron has his own timeframe. Obviously when he makes up his mind he’s going to have to alert the parties. He has his own way he’s got it planned he’s going to release that information ... basically if they don’t botch the meeting I think Lebron’s going to the Lakers”.

So again, I don’t think the fact that Lebron hasn’t signed yet is “hesitation”. I think he’s made up his mind, but he wants to show some respect to other franchises, here out their pitches, and then make his announcement on his own terms.

 

Windhorst has been a little more gangster the last few days. I think I'm starting to like him.

 

I would like a long term contract so there’s no chance he bolts next year. If he takes a 1+1 I’m sure there would be some drama next summer. But I think regardless at the end of the day, he would not leave after just one year barring a complete failure on our end. Would look terrible to give up on his new team after one year.

And I think overall 1+1 works in our favor in the sense that I could see him opting out and restructuring his deal to give us more flexibility in Free Agency 2019. Might take a little less to help squeeze in Kawhi or some other supporting roleplayers.

 

A 1+1 for both Cousins and Lebron would he ideal at this moment. If they both pan out, Lebron is in his 15th year, who knows how his health will end up, than the Lakers have a clear shot this year of competing for a title if BI, Kuz, Hart, Lonzo and Randle go up a notch in skillset.

 

Hopefully the nanosecond after lebron signs with the lakers Kawhi goes public with: "There's absolutely positively in no uncertain terms I'll play for any team other than the lakers. So bend over Beuford and take the magical Johnson.

 

That'll be the most he said his entire life.

 

How the **** can he have made his decision if he hasn't formally had a meeting with the Lakers yet? For no tampons scrutiny? That's how it's done now with the biggest free agent of the decade .... just a phone call that hasn't been made public yet after 12:01 yesterday and they gave him a one minute pitch and contract dollar # and that's it?

 

if we can net james, dmc n randle i hope they face okc in 1st rd
