LABron James Discussion: Personal Time

^^^Then you got nothing to worry about Chief. LaBron always comes as a package deal. Its why he left Cleveland the 1st time. He knows he needs help. He'll make sure he gets it before he packs his bags again.

And that is yet another example as to how he wisely prolongs his career. We're acting like a career affecting injury is an inevitability. It hasn't happened and his injury history proves that he's durable enough to command a max deal even at this age. Meanwhile both PG and Russ have had to overcome a debilitating injury. It was just reported today that Russ received a PRP injection and sat out today.

Of course I still want any combination of those 3 guys here, but I necessarily wouldn't hold it against LaBron to not target him first on our FA list due to a phantom injury that may or may not happen.

 

There are douchebags who coexist with coaches and there are douchebags who can't. LeBron can't. The was majority of recent champs respected their coach. That fact was not adressed by you if you were responding to me.

 

You gonna pitch Kawai that he can play the Terminator in the next Terminator sequel?

 

LeBron is a high priced call girl. Not gonna go into the metaphoric detail on that, I'm sure you all can figure that one out but LeBron does not care about anything execpt being on a team that allows him to win. He isn't loyal to any coach or player.

 

isn't WINNING what we want?

 

I doubt Kobe could treat him like Blatt was treated. Unless you get Pop he will have higher status than his coach and the press will take his side in a feud.

You are in the West, everything is harder that it was for him East. he needs to change some habits, no way around it. He cannot win a chip with his current attitude in the Western Conference. If he just brings you some winning chances are it's gonna cost the future of the Lakers.

 

If you mean he can dictate/shape the roster like he has in clev (getting chumps like tt/smith/shumpert paid), i highly doubt that

 

The press was fine wtih him doing it to a city that he humiliated once why would they care if he would do it to LA?

 

Because mgmt isnt "bending thr knee" for him, riley didnt either n we're not the cavs who felt they needed to cater to his every wish since they never experienced success w/o him

 

Are you sure ownership would not do it to sell a lot of merch and other commercial reasons?

 

They did just fine last few yrs w/o james

 

LeBron turned his L ankle in yesterday's late session. X-rays were negative. He got treatment during the practice today and is day to day

 

I spoke it into existence, but I didn't expect to happen this quickly
