They were accumulating assets thru the draft and preserving cap space which allowed them to sign him and make a move for AD. That's not exactly failing up

LeBron James to the LA Clippers in 2018 is very possible according to Woj
Lebron James to the LA Clippers in 2018 is possible and if the Clippers believe this to be true, they should start preparing for him now.

Wasted a pick on Bamba, Issac legs might not be right and the dude outta Auburn was picked while still recovering from some ACL ****...Wonderful stretch of drafting/draft luck right there
Hope Bamba really ok tho, that’s a long time to be recovering from COVID
If he were a star this would be major news.
I think we take for granted the fact that athletes will bounce back fine because they’re ‘athletes’ but you do hear the stories of some average joes having long lasting effects from covid.
Hopefully he makes a full recovery eventually.

Lakers were doing what you've been asking your Spurs to do since Tim Duncan retired...
Tank.
Cleared space for Lebron and used those loto picks for AD.

Pretty much.
Yeah but to me the yield for those picks in terms of a basketball product was not much. Actual winning basketball was not in the cards until Bron arrived. Pelinka deserves credit, no doubt. it just all starts and ends with Bron for me.
Good discussion though for real.
Yup. I don't slander it at all. None of this is shade.

sohi 23
this is the best I could find...Looks like they would've had to waive a few players just to open up $27M. Bron's deal with the Lakers started at $35M. Lakers definitely a bigger brand than the Clips. Never denied that. 
Even a king’s ransom would not be enough to lure LeBron James to Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers have put themselves in a position to enter the LeBron James sweepstakes this summer. But sorry to break the news to the ever-faithful a…

You still ignore the fact that he chose the Lakers though because he saw the possibilities to flip the young talent. Young talent that was wanted despite what NT wanted to believe. Obviously the "he just went to LA to do movies and his brand" crowd was dead wrong.

Still blows my mind Scottie let her keep his name after splitting up
Been having her run around like a Kardashian during AS weekend all under his family name
She got Scottie looking like all types of a BAN. He needs to scoop him a young thing like Mike.Pretty sure you can, seen a few instances of it irl
Just feel bad for the man having to see his name pop up all the time regarding the mother of his kids getting passed around the league and music game
Don't know why/how he agreed to it

Nah I gave credit there to Rob and GM Bron for flipping it.
In regards to that second post, LeBron James who is at worst the third-best player of all time, and the face of modern basketball is bigger than ANY team to me. He's bigger than the league itself. LeBron James was propping up the economy of an entire city by himself. One person.

tell me again why Lebron had the choice to play in L.A for the richest owner is sports, the GOAT GM, a team where he would easily be the biggest name to ever play there........ And somehow someway he still found his way to the Lakers
.And on another note Why is Lebron only an accredited GM when he wins a championship? When the Heat began to fall off a little & Lebron needed more help.... why was it suddenly the Heat who couldn't build around him?
When the same thing happened at the end of the Cleveland tenure why did it go from GM Bron & Klutch running things to suddenly the Cavs FO were incapable of getting him Talent?
When he got to the Lakers last year & was surrounded by young players and an odd mix of Vets why was it Rob Pelinka/Lakers FO who failed him suddenly & not his own decision making
When The Lakers FO built around him & AD last summer with winning vets & people on here laughed & claimed this would be a 6 seed at best...... how did that suddenly turn into Lebron & Klutch building a championship team?
When Lebrons team are successful he is the active GM, when the team has flaws the FO is incompetent
When Lebrons team are successful he is carrying everyone to a chip, when they fall short it's always on what his teammates couldn't accomplish
The hoops ya'll will go through to give Lebron sole credit for everything is something i've only seen rivaled by Drake fans

In a league where more people have allegiances to players than teams, I don’t see how this is even arguable.

But you just said winning wasn't in the cards. Anytime a team draft's well (which the Lakers did) winning is in the cards whether that's eventually with those players or flipping 'em.

With those players, no winning wasn't in the cards, hence why they were flipped and I gave credit for flipping them. My bad if that wasn't clear.

The Lakers core was good individual prospects, but as a group to win together, meh.
