LABron James Discussion: The Final Year?

this is definitely his last season with the lakers

either he's going to retire at season's end, or he'll play a season in that new global league he's an "advisor" for and call it quits after that

 

If this quote is truly from Rich Paul, then ship him out now.
I’m not trading with Dubbs unless I get Jimmy, Post, Podz, and Lesser Curry(sign and trade for $7 million).
We would have to wait until Jan 1st to do this though because of Curry’s trade restriction.
Or, ship him to NY for Anunobe, Hart, and Yabusele in December(trade restrictions).

 

Debilitating issue, it's hard to maintain the rest of your body/mind at his age when dealing with that sort of nerve problem.. you can't train the rest of your body normally and things quickly decline, unfortunately for us.. (since he takes damn near the max and two roster spots).

He has the money, will power and trainers to return no doubt.. but I expect a groin/foot type injury to quickly follow.

 

..... or is it clickbait stirring up **** for views? No idea and haven't watched. LeBron on Media Day seemed completely happy with being a Laker and ALL the right things were said. He was eager to get after it with Luka and AR and the team.

 

100% with this.

F him and his games with the media. He'll come to earth in the summer when no team is paying him top dollars for his old a**

There you go.

Bron mastered the media thing. He has a huge team just for that. He won't be upfront about his opinions for most part and will always play this 'leak' game. He will only come out and speak his mind when the situation requires it and will be the 'good guy' most of the times. It's like a chess game with him

 

Has it been mentioned here yet that there is some thought out there from at least one doctor type that James could have brought on the sudden sciatica injury with all the golf and torso twisting he did this summer while taking up the sport. Oh ****!!

 

A few unknowns here so I go with what I see. I thought last season would be his last and when I see and hear LeBron talk in interviews he just doesn't seem committed. Understandable at his age, but really can mess with the team. It would not shock me at all if he never plays another game. Just speaking for myself, I cannot wait for As LeBron Turns to be cancelled. I am going to celebrate like we won a championship the day he is no longer a Laker.

 

Yep

 

is this chirping from lebron/klutch or just some talking head suggesting it?

if it's the former, yeah, whatever, bye.

in any case, when you make 1/3 of the salary cap, you don't get to evaluate the roster without you. the roster without you is likely to be a non-playoff team. that's why you make 1/3 of the salary cap.

 

How do y'all know this came from LeBron? This sounds like a bunch of rumors.

 

that's why i asked; don't have time to dig up the footage, but it sounds like it could be somebody speculating and not info fed to the media on purpose. gotta stir up laker drama.
