LABron James Discussion: The Final Year?

If healthy I think the lakers can win a title with jimmy. Assuming they fill out the roster with a couple more role players. If KD leaves, the warriors are done. They look great a few games without kd but they won't last an entire season. Too many miles and steph is gonna be 31 I believe. Cp3 is long in the tooth. I think Rockets window is closing. 4th-5th year is when young guys really start to come into their own. Next 2-3 years with Jimmy could be a fun contending team. We shall see

 

you can win with 2 max n the kids...kawahi was early 20 when he won with the spurs, klay n Draymond were mid 20s along with late 20 curry, their vets from 1st title were Iggy, bogut n Livingston

 

I'm getting to the point where I disagree. I think with only having 2ish years left of LeBron at a dominant level we have to go all in. We need a veteran team.

If you get two other stars, that means you gutted the youth to create the cap space to make it happen.

Now you have 3 stars and fillers.

Whoever those three guys are, they better be super durable.

Lebron: Age and mileage are catching up. No guarantee.

AD: Legitimate concerns here

Any of the other options out there beside Klay and KD have a history of "x" number of missed games per year. You have to have some depth to make it through a long year, but the big dogs shine in the playoffs.

For me, I ask would I rather have this talented young group of go getters that want the moment and fill out the roster with a variety of weapons, or do I trade that for a 3rd star and relative scrubs on the roster after that. I'm leaning toward the developing youth, adding one star, and addl pieces.

But I need to check with Linda first.

 

except AD says he's a PF

 

This is where I fall. And where the win is the only thing mantra fails. Often it's those 3 dudes on paper is your best mathematical chance and historical chance. But other **** happens which can null and void the championship any of those guaranteed years. Count me in as my Lakers fanship is one more star and then build the team for depth and talent and taking into account where our home grown talents will each be and look like in 3 more years. Like most of us could see was going to happen with Randle. Can we get him back as a top of the heap B choice? That would be really smart IMO. Just watch I'm guessing .... Warriors may go after him.

 

Photoshop Obviously, but I agree with Mugsy

 

Scrubs even dunking on this dude

 

I actually take this more as LeBron sending the signal to the guys he’s recruiting that things are good here despite what’s being reported. Also that he’s in it to win and come back ready to go next season.

 

Kobe was done working out by then, and never needed to tell anyone about it.

Just sayin

 

Thank god Houston went out in the 2nd round. Those commercials with CP2 and Harden were mega annoying.

 

Speaking of gods .... wonder if the "paint god" is out of rehab or ever even went. We're needing depth at the 5.

 

Not my King
