This is hilarious, hes gotta be ashamed of himself right now
I cant wait until its time to have some serious conversations about this. The way its looking, even if the Heat repeat this year, LeBron is going to stay. Theres no point he will be playing with a deteriorated Wade if Wade lasts that long and Chris Bosh as talented as he is, cant be his right hand man. For some reason all signs point to LA for me right now, but I would love to see him go back to Cleveland at some point. Doubt the fans would want him back though and wouldnt accept him even if he wins. That hate is too strong.

The fans would accept him back if he's truly dedicated to going back to Cleveland. They'd get over it. Believe me.

For what it's worth, they got Kyrie Irving out of it. If LeBron goes back to play with him - new slate.

Stop, the Lakers are not going to fire D'Antoni. Not happening.
Laker fans sound crazy right now.

Forreal...if D'antoni gets fired Jim Buss will be right behind him...we all know that ain't happening. Unless the Lakers hit like a 10 game losing streak D'antoni is safe. Nash or no Nash...with the talent they have they wouldn't lose 10 straight if i was coaching them.

rck you live in Sac or nearby? I can't imagine living in the area, it's so... rural

I've lived in rural from Indiana to Texas to Oregon to Michigan and I can 1000000% tell you that it isn't as rural as any of those places. I've lived in LA and there is no way in hell you can compare LA to Sac, that'd be like comparing..... Well the history of the Lakers to the Kings of course side to side Sac is gonna come off as rural to LA

Easier said than done. Talent is cool, but it's a problem when doesn't mesh and in their case doesn't play D.

I stayed in Sac last week, and I was stunned at how much it has changed. Arco used to be out there all by itself, now they have houses built all the way around that joint, how long has it been like that?

Got an international airport, it's not even close to as Industrial as it used to be. Was actually pretty nice, at least where I was at. I was a couple exits down from Old Sac, right off I-5.

Lakers only looked good on paper

The arena area, Natomas, started really developing probably around 2004 I think... I still think that area is kinda junky but whatever I always think about how musicians or NBA teams feel as they fly into that airport and drive out to the hotel in downtown and then having to drive back out to the arena

@alex_cono Kevin Love: "I thought the article would be more positive. I said a lot of positive things" #twolves

Damage control or duped by Woj?

 

[Deleted member 38182]

Probably a little of both

 

[Ja's 2¢]

Now Lakers are also willing to look at Mike James and Johnny Flynn along with West.

 

[Deleted member 38182]

Mike James haven't heard that name in forever, I actually like his game alot

Am I the only person in the S&T forum who's actually watched Lebron play live in High School? I was a freshman in high school while Lebron was a Junior.

Only reason why I'm bringing it up is because it didn't really occur to me how big of a deal that was until my boy who watched him live with me brought it up. I remember the one thing we all first noticed about Lebron was how much more bigger he was then everybody else on the Benedictine High squad, he really would just plow through everybody on the floor. Dude was seriously a man-child compared to everyone else.

Keep in mind, no one even knew at that point that he would be playing for the Cavs 2 years later.

Only you dudes think Lebron going back to Cleveland would be an "amazing story".

That would be another lame *** move on his resume.

Cause that city a boatload of public humiliation...go win championships in another city...and then come back?

what fairy tale world do ya'll live in?

 

[Deleted member 38182]
