Last night was sufficient proof to FAs that Lebron still has it; sit him down for the rest of the year. _________________ one dog goes that way the other dog goes the other way

He is declining. But even this declining version of Bron is still All-NBA. He needs fewer minutes and another All-NBA level player next to him who can take over a game when he is fatigued or sitting to make a strong postseason push next year. _________________"Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

Everyone needs a running mate. Hopefully its KL. That guy reached out to LeBron last summer about playing with him.

Hot take: Lebron will be a top 3 player for the duration of his contract.

They can also sell it as KL coming to save LBJ and the Lakers. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

I don't think that's a bad idea. He has nothing to prove. He still has it...rest the body, and come back strong next year when we reload. He'll be hungrier and if teamed up with KL, AD or even Butler, it could be a special year.

He was sensational, completely took over the game and decided we were winning this one. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny

I don't think getting down by 20 points to a 19 win team and ultimately beating them is much of a selling point. To make matters worse he's just gonna get older.

I think finishing strong is important. I think if they can finish over .500, that would look great for potential free agents.

Stop living in the past. The Clippers aren't the same Clippers from the Sterling era, much as the Lakers aren't the same Lakers as the Dr. Buss era.
