| As long as we don't give up any of BI/Kuz/Ball/Randle/Hart, which we won't have to trading Deng for no money, and sign LBJ, I don't see the risk. Even if he gets injures or declines, then we still have PG and a very bright group of guys to carry us a long. |

Seems like a lot of trouble to do that much work on a 2nd house in a city that you aren't going to live in.
One more breadcrumb added to the trail. |

LeBron has played in 22 elimination games in his career. In those games:
* 34.1 points per game (highest in NBA history)
* seven 40-point games (most in NBA history)
* five triple-doubles (most in NBA history)
* 13-9 record. (For perspective, MJ had a losing record in elimination games.)
Yeah- I think the Lakers could use this guy next year. |

He's still paying at an insanely high level, and it's too good to pass up. |
I think that's the ideal summer to me.
I also don't get people wanting to pass on Lebron. I mean the guy is only averaging 34/9/9 in the playoffs on 54.5/34.1% shooting. Is he going to age? Of course. Is any older player a risk? Of course. But he is also the best player in the game still at his age. You can't pass on that if he wants to come. |
People are afraid he’ll decline.
So he’ll “only” put up 30/8/8 next year.

Right. We all know that most celebrities have at least one mansion in major cities like LA or the NY, but who pays 23 million for a house that won't actually be home base? That second mansion, especially with such detailed renovations, just doesn't seem like the kind that you'll kick it in every once in awhile during the offseason or something. It seems like a home.

No. Never root for the Celtics. Can't give Boston an opportunity to win the championship. And we won't find out if Lebron is coming until July.

I don't think how CLE finishes the season will impact what LeBron does. I think he's gone no matter how this season ends. Whether they lose Game 7, lose in the Finals, or even pull off an improbable championship, LeBron is gone regardless. But I do hope that CLE loses to Boston to give LeBron more rest going into next season 
Cavs lost to the Celtics in a Game 7 in Boston in 2010 and LeBron left. It'd be crazy ironic for it to happen all over again.

Slight correction: Cavs lost in Boston in a Game 6, not Game 7. Point still remains though. What better way to avenge a loss to the Celtics than to join the Lakers?

As soon as I saw that you had posted in this thread, I knew it had to be big. Salute, OG!

I agree! How can any Lakers fan cheer for the celtics? |

How is that different than your others? Your last one was a masterpiece! Randle with the Chewbacca Roar and IT sounding like the little creatures in the Last Jedi had me dead. Let the past die! |

Those took three days to edit, this has taken three weeks. You'll see why soon.
If I have ONE VIDEO to explore LeBron to LA, this is it... and it's crazy.

I think I’m fine either way because of his age (and how many times it’s bitten us in the arse whenever we acquire an aging superstar). If he signs here, great. He’s on track to surpass all the all time records soon, it’ll be nice to have him do it in a Laker uniform.
But if he passes, I won’t lose any sleep over it. |

Anyone here know the address for this house? I'd like to drive by and see it next time I'm down there. |

Dreamshake still thinks Houston will go after LeBron even if they make the finals. |

Why would you even entertain the idea that Houston would lose in the Finals? Celtics... 
Oh and LeBron ain't joining a championship team. That would destroy his legacy. |
