    Yup, this is not surprising at all. The Lakers aren’t just an LA team, they are global. It’s like the Yankees, our fans fill large portions of the seats of almost every away game, Vegas is big on the Lakers, Hawaii is, China thanks to Kobe most recently, and tons of other countries as well. This will make LeBron even more money than in Cleveland and Miami, and that was already a ridiculous level of money. But hey, Little P his “happy” in OKC smoking cigars and partying with his BFF Westbrook.

    They are kind of everywhere lol, but there was an 888 China mall near me. Screaming deals, but have to keep an eye on quality.

    Kobe did camps every year in Manila, and they are HUGE basketball fans in the Philippines. I saw a lot of Lebron fans there, but most seemed to be Curry and GS fans.

    I figured some of that, but also maybe rooting for the shorter more skilled player. Since there aren’t a lot of Lebron and Yao Mings body types over there, he’s a relatable athlete hero to the masses.

    I saw a lot of great ball handling and shooting while watching youth play. Curry definitely has had influence.

    Remember how incredulous Windhorst was about Rondo and Stephenson signing? Well Lebron's people told ol' Windy to relax. The Lakers and LeBron have a plan.

    Cool. Let's see how it meshes. This make take awhile to come together, but that's fine. We can tinker; find out what works, what doesn't, etc.

    I'm glad Magic was able to talk to Lebron about his game, though; as he ages, he needs to become less ball dominant and start operating more free throw line extended down, IMO.

    And it got Windy to shut-up!

    Wow, who would've thought...Magic and Lebron actually discussed their vision for the team.

    But he needs shooters tho...
    How about, f***ing people up on the 3pt line. f*** splashbrothers...how bout the #smashbrothers?

    Sure sounds like Kawhi could help in this regard too.

    Bron on the elbow extended is going to be scary.

    The postseason is all that matters...handle his old a** with care and then let him do work in late April.

    I hope everyone clicks the link because there's a lot of great stuff in there.

    Almost every action we ran last year with LeBron in Julius's place at the mid-post is going to be just terrifying. There were times when our young guys missed cuts they should have made or Julius just missed the window on baseline cutters. We're going to see a low maintenance LeBron that might average 25/10/10 for us. I firmly believe that.

    It would be interesting to see Bron become a post player. He has the size and athleticism, but he's not known for his footwork or post repertoire.

    It is a lot of patience, maybe he could work with Kobe on a few things.

    Windhorst used to be a big Laker hater...

    But he has made a career of stalking James because they are both from the Cleveland area. So if he wants to continue to be relevant, he has to turn positive on the Lakers..

    And not surprisingly... It's happening. Lol. I'm starting to like him.

    With regard to what he said: I prefer conventional wisdom but hindsight 20/20. We can judge the moves after we see the results. If it works, they are geniuses and if it fails, they are absolute fools. We'll have to wait and see.

    I need a better quality picture of this, preferably in a .jpg or.png file type. My co-workers and some of my friends are waiting to fill this out.

    Edit: Found it on Reddit, with better quality
