LeBron Commits To Lakers, Lakers Rotations, Westbrook/Wall Trade, & More

Is political bull shit a lot of people just aren’t watching.

What bullshit foh you mad that he’s improving his team

OH YES!!!! 4+1!!!!!!

@Mr Spliffstarz The lakers Fanchise made almost 500mil the first year we had Lonzo.(without playoff revenue) Lebron getting 8 percent of what the buss family gets annually is Mafia like.

@Courtney323 you right, that’s my I said I don’t want to be in another man’s pocket. But as a fan that want our team to win, that will play a part going forward when the Lakers are trying to get players to make the team better but can’t afford them. Especially when Bron won’t be performing at that level anymore to warrant the contract. As fans we have to be prepared for that.

@Ricardo Bernard LOL at Lebron taking a pay cut when he's not being paid his true worth to begin with. Who do you think the face of the league is or why the Lakers are on tv every night. He should not cut billionaire franchises any slack. Jeannie Buss not taking no pay cut.

@Ricardo Bernard Yea but it's easy to say that. Would you take less or bet on yourself?

My only problem with Bron signing this extension is he will be an aging superstar taking up most of the cap space, so it will will be more difficult to build a good team around Bron and AD. I don’t want to be in another man’s pocket, but if he took an extension that was two years at 50 million instead of 85 million it would be better for the future.

He never been this old

Thought so too

Disagree, Wall not better than Russ, and Wall is still a often injured guy.

@Luk Phom Trevor said championship teams usually run it back as is , from experience I was saying it’s great to retool after winning u can’t be too comfortable in the nba

What do you mean

@Headband Fish lol he was a certified clown writing long paragraphs not knowing what he talking about lol

This aged well

Supreme whipped cream for a mind to have the ability to think for oneself. You have a right to express your thoughts. But so do I. I served and protected that right. Trevor himself has expressed these concerns as well. Not that he is not signing. But that it is very very strange. Fact is AD hasnt signed. There is a reason as his behavior shows hesitatcy. Something is bothering him. Thats normal. Pelinka knows. Not a conspiracy. Look at ADs career day one. Good yes. Look how many times he injured. He is young. Great player great talent. But he never played with a freak of nature like Lebron. Lebron clearly was the Admiral of the team. Lebron, more you push him the more he digs in and plays harder then harder. Something on the court going South Lebron will make sure goes forward like North. Rondo that way. Kobe that way. AD truly a Super Star. If Bron was out. No 17. If AD out no 17. Fact. They have great relationship but same agent. Rich Paul plays games. Lebron tells Rich what to do. Rich tells AD what to do. For AD has said in interviews himself 3 things that stand out. Lebron is the best. 2. He does not want to play the 5. 3. Rich Paul his agent. AD say when questioned about his free agency that his agent makes those decisions. You give Rich Paul an inch he will take a mile. Could be something Pelinka sees he trying to protect in the interest of Lakers. Hard to say. But end of say 3 day training camp with preseason around the corner AD IS NOT SIGNED. Yes sir thats a problem and another Center to back up Gasol. Who 36 goes down with injury. Rob made major mistake letting D Howard go. Superman dominated Jokic and Amdeyo of Nuggets and Heat. Thats something Gasol and Trezz who wont be a C unless playing small ball cannot do. Rob has a decision to make. He gots to get a other big.

U sir are a certified clown 🤡 lol AD is resigning with the Lakers just a matter of how long the Contract will be

Injuries

Kobe got his even after the Achilles injury, was losing and could have used more help. The best deserve what they get no matter what. If Lakers want to pay it, then Lebron gets it. No "getting to his head"

kuz will do whatever he gotta do. kuz is a great player. people really gotta stop hating. they are idiots. kuz can play sg sf or pf. hes flexible and guarded jimmy.butler vs miami but nobody remembers that....they are morons.

What about morris? Would him and kuz just switch who hot and who not

@thisguy177 I think Rondae Hollis Jefferson signed with someone already. And I’d rather keep Dudz on the team for chemistry and locker room presence reasons.

Iman Shumpert* and nah... jr smith failed didnt shooy at all. even waiters didnt play much. i was disappointed in them. id like to see kostas and tucker play more. sign Dewayne dedmon waive dudley and sign rondae hollis Jefferson or Kyle korver

Relax

@T p i hope they see something because he has yet to impress on the court 🤷‍♂️

@Benjamin Jimenez what do you mean? His brother is prolly just getting groomed to have a spot on the team

What does this even mean? They are targeting giannis, otherwise there’s no reason they would keep his brother

Exactly

@BIZZ- TV The difference was Kobe was occasionally great...Shaq,Dirk and Duncan were just old and a shadow of themselves...Big difference.

@Justin Wilson it's sad when you can't do what you used to...

@Vern Pascal kobe wasn't great in his final year and he was younger than the players you just named

That's it. Can't Vanquish Father Time nor Mother Nature,but he is doing some kind of job so far.Last year of Shaq, and Tim Duncan, and Nowitzke was sad. At least Kobe could still be great in his final year...Though not every night.

But very doable! It's never been easy!

Wouldn't have it any other way

Who said it’s supposed to be?

@corey stanford the league can’t do anything because Giannis is a free agent and sign wherever he wants wherever

But KD to Warriors is different? That’s the same with him Klay and Curry, they destroyed

The league has no say dummy

No shit

@John Minx thx man so that means AD can wait up until that time to sign ?

The 21st!

They stayed.

Not the teams that were deep in the playoffs. Miami Heat and Lakers had what 8 weeks? That's a pretty quick turnaround.

With the 17th star on the floor!

@Will Laibhen I feel you bro. I just want them to dominate. When I speak of shooting I'm talking about a guy or two who is 40% + with his eyes closed like Redick, Seth Curry, Bogdonavic from the Jazz, etc. If they had shooting like that this past season they would have never gone as cold shooting as they did at times. They had all of us worried in that bubble.

ABSOLUTELY!!! AD is a WAY better and more feared rim protector than Zubac and that will make Trez a more effective defender.

@Haywood Wesley Matthew's, kcp, Schroder. Kuzma will get better as well. They have shooting and Marc can shoot

They need some shooting. Never addressed it this offseason.

Well said. I already miss Dwights energy. He handled guys like the joker real well

@DREVM imagine thinking he cared about giannis

@DREVM he just signed a five year deal

He’s waiting on Giannis, they’ve been saying this for a month almost.

One way to do it is to let go of everyone/ trade except for Lebron and AD, AD would have to get a 1+1 deal .. get Giannis in between and then bring back AD.. . The roster from there would have to be mle and vet minimums.

@McKinley Webb Pelinka has done a great job so far so Lakers are in great shape. Looking forward to next season.

Stfu

Who cares what bucks and heat fans think kiss our rings

More than likely, but I read there were a still a couple of ways LA could do it with a few cap tricks do it...I still have my doubts that Giannis would fit...he is great, but until he can get a jumper, teams can build a defense to cut off his drives and make him a jump shooter...

@Ramiro B And a future multi-billionaire is a future multi-billionaire. The question is how LeBron wants to invest his money. Freeing up cap space would greatly improve LeBron's championship ambitions and would not hurt him financially at all.

@Blake Moore For the sake of LeBron's championship aspirations I hope you are right. It's a smart investment.

LBJ will take less in his next and final contract (I think he will play until age 40 unless he has a severe injury)

@Dunning Kruger 10 million is 10 million

One things for sure is Rob and Lebron know what they’re doing. Lebrons not going to make decisions that will jeopardize his name as the GOAT

He hasn’t signed the super max, it expires december 20th

That whole unrealistic narrative of Giannis coming next year had me dreaming and thinking it could happen but damn :’(

Maybe waiting for other big names to sign their contracts who would be in free agency next year
