LeBron James Discussion: Not Returning To The Lakers

A rook, and very young, but definitely Christie too. Vogel wound up giving same aged THT some run in the Bubble playoffs.

 

These guys have been busting their a**es the last 5 games to prove all the doubters wrong. Him making a public statement like this does nothing but kill a locker room. Do we need to make a move? Yes. But it doesn’t need to come out of his mouth smh.

 

Passive-aggressive damage-controlling b****.

 

I'm sorry. This made me laugh out loud while waiting for an order at Denny's currently.

 

I actually like him trying to clean that up a bit.

 

In no way is our front office doing what’s best for the franchise. They are hopelessly inept and got us into this mess with their eyes wide open. I am not a LeBron apologist but I can’t abide anyone painting Pelinka, the Rambii, Jay Mohr, or any of the other FO clowns in a good light.

 

No need to cuss

 

In other news, he's been playing at an MVP caliber since his return from injury. He has made 10+ FGs on 50%+ shooting in 13 straight games. James on court: 122.7 ORtg, 111.8 DRtg, +10.9. James off court: 105.4 ORtg, 121.3 DRtg, -15.9. ON/OFF +26.8.

 

Yeah.... I don't care. He is a self-centered, pumpered, egotistical narcissist (yes, most of these mean the same, that's how bad he is) that certainly doesn't have the franchise priorities first.

For him to criticize the FO, after that franchise-killing Westbrook trade he is trying to distance himsefl from, is really rich.

And if you don't think that's what he did, I have a like-new bridge in a prime location to sell.

 

Here I was enjoying the 5 game winning streak and thinking this team is showing enough potential to warrant making a trade to bring in help, but now my day is ruined.

I can’t believe this egotistical scumbag was suggesting that this team is starting to show enough potential to warrant making a trade to bring in help!

Sure we don’t have video to know his tone, and actually reading his full quotes instead of the headline suggests that his frustration was mostly with Amick repeatedly trying to goad him into fueling a narrative, but I am still FUMING at this piece of crap.

As far as I’m concerned, he’s pretty much a war criminal for pushing for the Westbrook trade. I’d send him to Azkaban if I could. At this point I can’t in good conscience root for him to win another championship. It will be so sweet to see him meltdown when he misses the playoffs again!

Can’t wait till this Micky Mouse ring narcissist is gone and we can go back to the glory days of being Lamarcus Aldridge rejects

 

As long as he continues to produce he's fine with me. I've dealt with plenty of egotistical/narcistic stars on the Lakers and in sports in general. It comes with the territory of greatness. Once he's washed though, he should kindly retire or go back to Cleveland.

 

i'm glad he's trying to do some damage control, but reading the full transcript annoyed me more because it was definitely clear what amick was trying to do, and lebron walked away...and then turned around and gave him exactly what he wanted! unbelievable. just shut him down.

 

as long our FO doesn't get pressured into another franchise crippling deal, i don't care, either. be mad. collect your paycheck and play well. if you don't do the latter, start steppin'. if you want to be a gm, call up jordan in charlotte or something.

 

In spite of all the months long (sky is falling and Rob screwed the pooch with this terribly put together low on talent off season acquisitions roster bashing) that went on amongst us and the media …. it’s been slowly unravelling …. as proof’s becoming apparent the talent the FO decided to invest in from what was available …. is actually there throughout the roster except for Jones not working out.

And one smaller deal with with Bev and Nunn /? away from giving us a shot at the NBA “finals”. One or two new quality players “of need” coming back. And same as any other team ….. health for our two most important stars. So we’re that CLOSE and maybe it’s time to stop s******* on Jeanie and the FO?

 

Team’s better than you give credit to it. What part of a deal for one or two more key players back plus AD and LeBron healthy together did you miss?

And Walker, Brown, Anderson, Gabriel and Christie suck?

 

I added on above while you were typing and rather than keep ranting at them expecting the worst in the future which is just that we don’t know … I’m talking about this season and one good trade with the players mentioned.
