    Thank you Jeannie for having the guts to kick those numbskulls out. She's legit. And for the record I've been on her side the entire way. Those from CL days know that. Jimbo was a bozo.

    There are 99 points to come to LA and a b**** ain't 1 (that's you Pauline...we didn't need your dumb***to lock up the real prize this summer).

    My head is still spinning. First impressions:

    I've always liked LeBron James.

    Yeah.


    On a serious note - you have to admit that Bron has cojones. We were not able to attract great free agents for so long, and he makes this ballsy move, making us a playoff team pretty much instantly, and you know he will help us get more good players. The narrative here is absolutely awesome - LBJ, once a kid basketball prodigy - now a true mentor to a bunch of hungry 20-year olds. And BTW, he made KCP a $-ton of money recently. Pope should build him a statue.

    Thank God, it's a Laker who will break Cap's scoring record

    It wasn't the easy part. First of all we had to put Mag/Rob in the FO. So Barkley stfu you stuttering hobo. Credit to Jeanie for taking out the trash.

    It's an honor to get a sit-down with Magic. It's like the Godfather. He doesn't give those out to many especially those not in his charge or care. Bron wanted his sit-down.

    This is a big reason we are a completely upgraded FO than Mitch/Jim. You get the face of the Lakers and LA backed up by a shrewd GM. No one else has this FO combo. Pop/RC are the closest.

    I’d be like that too if I never had to go back to Cleveland again to cover games all the time. Cleveland won’t be in the playoffs, and for the Finals he’ll only have to go to Oakland, Houston, LA, Boston, maybe Philly or Toronto.

    Can't even gather all my thoughts right now. We're massively better and we haven't lost any of the young guys (yet). Trades, free agents, playoffs... It's a different game now. Welcome LBJ!

    From NBA TV:

    Spots about really classy tributes from a female Cleveland sports writer (can't recall her name) "Promise Kept", the mayor and Gilbert. Nothing acrimonious or bitter. After 4 years, James will be more than welcome to come back for a retirement ceremony.

    Still in awe about this.

    This was indeed a great listen. Anthony and Pete were super excited. Good stuff on LeBron, good stuff on Kawhi, quality mocking of Little P, and both dudes dropping some f bombs out there to the league, Pete talking about how the rest of the league has enjoyed these last 5 years with us down and out, but “tell you what, motherf******, that’s over now”. :D
