LeBron James Discussion: Not Returning To The Lakers

Thanks was wondering, before thinking that outfit would def catch Kyle’s eye.

 

i think of that hot dog sketch every time lebron is complaining about his situation. "we're all trying to figure out who did this!"

 

It's perfect

 

Lebron feels that other team don't want to trade fairly with the Lakers because of him, but I feel it's also because organizations are jealous of the Lakers. We are the place to be and that makes the rest of the league mad. Combine that with the presence of Lebron and no good deals come our way for a star.

 

Well sure …. all that. PLUS the giant elephant in the equation that is Russ. Good guy but it’s pretty damn obvious other teams don’t want to give up anything of value, his expiring (also “giant”) contract notwithstanding …. without the penalty tax being asked so far of 1 FRP also to get a deal done.

 

i think it's pretty standard lebron. who else tweets a complaint (and that was, most definitely, a complaint) when their team doesn't swing a trade? especially with a platform that big? it's just like when he called the reporter back earlier in the year because he wanted to more fully lodge his complaint.

and wilbon was right to sort of smirk at the "well now i'm locked in again" stuff. wait--you weren't? and now you are? what? until we're in another trade rumor? and again, how do russ, bev, and walker put all their effort into being support players when they know lebron wants them all out ASAP for someone better.

it's ok to want it in your heart; just don't say it with your mouth. we can control our behaviors much more than our thoughts and emotions.

 

Yeah. I thought the interview was going to be much more than that. Pretty meh to me.

I still expect a move by the trade deadline of some of the guys we aren’t planning to resign.

 

let's all take a second and remember that it was lebron who wanted russ

sorry, not gonna buy into his "woe is me" thing when he's part of the reason for these disastrous last two seasons

 

Everyone wanted Russ.

It was a huge mistake.

Way past time to move on.

 

right. what irks me is that lebron gets to get digs in about it, acting like it was foist upon him when there's clear documentation that the reverse was true.

the "why'd everyone screw lebron" narrative is a) false and b) detrimental to our franchise.

 

not everyone

 

think he meant lebron/AD, rob, jeanie, etc.

and that's accurate. though, again, rob had a kuz/trez for hield deal basically completed that would have saved us a ton of heartache.

 

Yeah. I was referring to the front office and our stars.

In all our armchair GMing on here I don’t think anyone here threw this move out there. Lol.

 

we'll give up 130 in regulation and the media will ask lebron why he doesn't have any help and he'll ask them the same question oh so cleverly.

 

Very tough week starting tomorrow







After that they play Milwaukee on Thursday Jan 9 after trade deadline. Mil has won 8 in a row
