Lebron is being vastly underrated by a number of folks on this board.....in addition to injury he needed to do more with far less than most of the other folks have been mentioning...Giannis....maybe had a similar level of talent...and that's a maybe, everyone else was playing with an all star or multiple all stars....I still have LeBron top 5...and I don't see that changing next year assuming health
#4 and LeBron for #1 pick forget that
Lebron would never agree to play in New Orleans but I would definitely trade 35 yo Lebron + 4th pick for 19 yo Zion.
TBH this FO is just not ready to be put on a "win now" LeBron timetable.
LeBron in Philly for Raptors vs Sixers trying to convince Kawhi to join Lakers and not Clippers
Quote:
Stephen A. Smith of ESPN reported on SportsCenter Wednesday that LeBron James "has quietly been about the business of trying to get Kawhi Leonard to come to the Los Angeles Lakers instead of the Los Angeles Clippers."
IF it works or not, no one can seriously say he did not try.
I think Chris Broussard said that the rumor was false and that LeBron was never in Philly, since it'd be unprofessional of him to interrupt their playoff run.
KD, Kawhi, and Giannis are better than Bron now imo. Arguments can be made for a few other guys too. He's still Top 10 at least. Maybe somewhere between 4th and 7th best.
Until Kawhi can make his teammates better and Giannis learns to shoot a jumpshot, I will take Lebron.

SAS just said a few days ago that LeBron really was in Philadelphia talking to Kawhi. He flew to Atlanta to watch Bronny Jr. on a Nike tournament and then flew to Philadelphia. _________________

Thanks for clearing that up, I had not heard about that.
Those of you still stuck in trying to choose Kobe or LeBron needs to move forward and realize LeBron is a out best, and really only hope, to convince Kawhi, Butler, or Kyrie to come here. Unless you believe in Rob to that extent.
Props top LeBron for showing up to support. Major statement he was trying to send. I wish some of the other younger guys had shown up.

I dont even know why it has to be Kobe vs Lebron thing.
One is playing.
The other is not.
Support players who can help get the Lakers another championship.

Insecurities that LeBron might pass their boy in all time list

I used to feel that way.
But Lebron has grown on me this past year.
And I just want the Lakers to win.
Yeah they had him and Josh Hart on split screen during the presser.
He looks out of shape. He needs to hit the gym! 27/8/8 won’t do it buddy!
I had forgotten about that pill I read about in the Onion last week.
The one where basketball players take and never deteriorate after 34 years of age.
27/8/8 for life! Woohoo!
Crazy that an injured 34 year old LeBron was still able to play 55 games (61 games if Lakers hadn’t shut him down in the final 2 weeks).
A healthy younger 27 year old Kawhi could only manage to play 60 games.
You realize the raps were sitting him on purpose right?
Yup coz they weren’t confident him being “healthy” was really healthy enough. That said I hope he would be able to play at least 70 games next season if he signs with us. _________________
Basically Lebron is the man this summer. Only he can convince Kawhi.
Magic, Kobe, Lebron, Kareem, Wilt, Mikan all in the same room.
How can Kawhi say no?
50 mil that no one else can offer, and potential at being the centerpiece of an already established perennial contender with 3 point shooters and an energized united humble hungry fanbase that actually watches basketball instead of highlights of basketball players with big names. _________________ DEAR BASKETBALL
