    I think he'll be drafted by Bron's team regardless of his level

    If the dude is crap, not sure Lebron wants that in his legacy. It never happened

    He may get the Gelo treatment though

    I want to know what's up with the knee right now. 3 straight games and it's just general swelling. If he misses another game something is up. We are 5-10 without Lebron. It's absolutely a wrap, if this turns out to be a problem moving forward.

    Yeah if Lebron has to sit for significant time the season is cooked. Might have been anyway but that will definitely do it.

    Has anyone heard this? He's expected to miss the next 6 games apparently. We might slip out of the play in.

    It’s already done. Even if we win enough to make the playin, what’s the point of getting absolutely embarrassed by either PHX or the Dubbs in a series?
    Heal up, enjoy the summer off, and try again next year. That being said, he’s going for that scoring title so I’m betting on him trying to get as many games in as possible before the next injury pops up.

    6 games is borderline. If he comes back at full strength we might still do some things this season. Might …

    He would then have to go all out and risk injury again, possibly a serious one. Ugh, what a nightmare we find ourselves in.

    I don’t understand the logic here, like it’s better to stay at home instead? And what if AD and Lebron are healthy and catch fire and knock out Phoenix who I don’t consider some kind of unbeatable force. It’s not like Lebron has another 5 years either…

    I like that they get an "anonymous Laker staffer" to say what literally everyone knows and would freely say publicly.

    yeah, not sure what else to do but lace 'em up.

    and with the goofy play-in, if you're going to finish 7th (which i think lebron's accepted), you might as well finish 10th. really not much difference.

    and the injury report cited it as good news that the injury didn't occur on a specific play. i'm not sure i agree.

    You have to do a lot to not make the playoffs with the 7-10 play-in setup. As long as we are around .500 we’ll have our chances. So it comes down to do you want GSW or PHX.

    And give me Phoenix. I thought we played them well last year and I don’t think they have an answer for either of healthy Lebron or AD.

    Healthy? Lebron and AD are still good enough to beat any team in the West. Phoenix and Golden State don't look unbeatable. Memphis might be the surprise team, I'd rather play Golden State in the 1st round than those cats. They are going to upset someone this post season.

    Lol..man these folks still mad about Caruso..lol..they have been low key hoping this season went up in smoke from day 1.

    No, he is not. For some reason the secret is being kept under wraps. He is a 3 star player at best. Unless he hits a growth spurt and gets to his dads height, he may end up being just like LiGelo. I feel bad for him too because they are putting all this pressure on him to make it so he can hold hands with his dad in the NBA but once you get to the pros, you can't hide your suckiness. He should go to college for more than one year, not straight to the NBA after the first year.

    Yeah, I would bet we’re punting on this season

    2018-19 all over again

    i wouldn't mind at all if they sat him for a while as to not risk any further injury or at least for as long as bron is willing to since he's chasing kareem's scoring record

    Yeah, I mean, we’ve got to err on the side of caution here. We are currently at the 9 spot and are most likely stuck in the play in at this point of the season. We’ve got a brutal schedule going forward. Unless Lebron is fully healthy we aren’t moving up to the 6th spot and we probably aren’t even if he is. At this juncture rest him up and hopefully he’ll be ok for the play in.
