Making the All-star game in the West is going to be a real accomplishment.

And Philly only will resign JJ Redick

LA still has cap space and they'll need a shooter/vet. Maybe JJ might look good in gold and purple.... Lol 76ers.

Who's going to join Lebron in LA? Because the roster he's got there right now does not stand chance of getting him past GS or even Houston.

Why, Dwight Howard, of course ;D.

Wait, what?

  • I'm a Paul Heyman guy.
I really thought the Lakers will be better off just developing their young guys and waiting on Kawhi next year via Free Agency. Now they are handing the reigns to LeBron, and they are going to have to cater to everything he wants.

I mean, it's good for us, I'm just saying.

Npw, honest question, what's next for Cleveland? Tank?

Sixers should just throw money at Marcus Smart now.

The east belongs to Boston for YEARS TO COME.

And the Lakers? They will be seeing some early playoff exits, and LeBron will continue losing to the Warriors (and Houston) in the West.

Any idea how much Bron to LA alone could raise the league revenue and the cap?

Hellz yes! The East is Boston’s for the foreseeable future! Sorry Philly and Cleveland!  ;D

Have to think this makes Kyrie even more likely to stay now, too, as he can start his own little Finals run now.

Gotta think a Love trade is on the docket.

Dump Love for the best haul they can get should be first in order. If they are smart...

Been done for weeks

LA was always the plan

Philly was never an option


If that's true, then it doesn't depend at all on any guarantee of the Lakers getting Kawhi.

Glad he stuck it to Phili though. Good job Lebron!

LeBron James vs Kyrie Irving NBA Finals. That'll be the end game.

Sucks though how Boston spent years rebuilding their team while the Lakers just suddenly became an instant contender by adding one free agent player to their team after years of sufferage and mediocrity.

Are there any options on the contract? Should we read anything into the fact that he went for the full four years? Does he know his body doesn’t have that much more in the tank and is taking advantage of one last big contract?

You know who else must be happy? The Raptors.  LeBron has been their roadblock — interesting to see what they can do if their roster isn’t blown apart this summer.
