    Ok fine , LeBrons decision was purly about winning a title for coming to LA ! if LeBron cared so much about LA why didn’t he team up with Kobe ? And win buncha titles and cement his legacy …? Cuz Kobe would have said he’ll no … even Kobe said it “ we have to accept the LBJ signing for the benefit of the team .

    Dude stop....you replied to my comment- ONLY ABOUT THE MEDIA- with stupid crap about me debating whether the earth was flat.

    So no, I am not twisting your words, you replied to my comment (maybe you dont know what happens when you push the post reply button, but it directly implies you are responding to what I said) in error...

    Understand??

    I wouldn’t do this trade because I love AD when he’s healthy.

    … but what if the trade was Durant and Irving for Lebron and Westbrook. How would Laker fans feel about that? Gotta admit… a trio of AD/KD/Kyrie is actually interesting for the next 3-4 years. Can we say the same about Lebron and the Lakers over the next several years?

    I never understood the "bubble argument". When I approach someone about it, they always say because there were "no fans"....

    So, the Lakers also had no fans right?

    Plus, LA had the best record in the West; which means in all circumstances (and including in the finals against the Heat, who also had a worse record) they would have had home-court advantage; meaning more of their fans in the stadium. Isnt that an advantage for teams (no fans) who normally would be playing more road games and instead getting a neutral setting for whole series?

    There was no such advantage for the Bucks (nest record in East) or Lakers or any of the four/two/two/one teams as the playoffs went on....

    Makes no sense to me, if anything the Lakers (and yes Heat as well) were not allotted the normal advantages that teams with better records would have had.....

    Look this is your post I initially, today, took issue with. Who’s the we? It has to be the Lakers! Sure as f*** ain’t you or anyone else on this forum. Their decisions aren’t about basketball doing what it took to get James and Davis and try for Leonard?? And then have to go for plan B and build the championship roster around just the two Stars. Pay attention to what you write and engage your brain before making your opinions stated as all encompassing for all Lakers fans facts.
