i have seen the "lebron to LA" story a number of times. please provide the sources to this? or is it all simply whim and wishing?
why would lebron leave cleveland to go to a team that is not good right now. and even if he and a few others go there, they will not jell as a team for 1-2 years and the young players have to develop.
all of this takes time, something lebron no longer has. i do not see the logic in him joining LA. SA? yes, i can see.
There are no sources (yet) for LeBron to The Lakers.
But to me it makes sense.
Where else would LeBron go? I'm sure he loves and respects Magic AND the fact that it's Hollywood would pay HUGE dividends for LeBron I'm sure.
I'm also certain that "IF" LeBron choose LA that Magic would not rest until he assembled pieces around him to compete right away.
Magic is building it and they will most certainly come.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SB16il97ywWhy "WOULDN'T" he want to go to LA? He'd be able to play against GSW a lot more times THEN as he would NOW.
He'd have a capable PG in place in Lonzo Ball. He has "SPECIAL" written all over him, Lonzo does.
Brandon Ingram will probably be better as well.
He'd have a capable coach in Luke Walton in place.
"IF" he leaves CLE his rep may take another hit but in the end what could CLE say? He brought them a Banner - something no other sports franchise there has done nor WILL do - at least for a while.
If CLE ownership can't assemble a team around LeBron then in the end I couldn't blame him for leaving once again. The narrative would be that while LeBron was WILLING to stay - he could NOT because the team choose to go in a different direction.
This would not be LeBron's fault.
