Lakers might end up being the biggest winner of all if he comes to LA next summer. Get him and keep the rest of your young talent.
Doubt it. Look at what happened with George and OKC
Lakers too cheap to trade for Leonard. Players remeber these kind of things
yup ..LA had their chance ....Magic just thought Spurs would capitulate and do any deal.....Lebron signed quick ...to give the Lakers as much chance as possible to draw CP3. PG. Boogie and Kawhi , they were not getting ANY without Lebron signing. And they Still Didn't .
Lakers are the BIg loser is this ...their whole plan or scheme with Leturd blwe up last night . Yes they will still be good , but the object is NOt just to compete , but win . They are not gonna beat the others in West with Ball , Ingram and Lebron . An't happening . That leaves three years to get Kawhi or another star to help the Whiner ....as he gets older and closer to his first major injury .
Even if Kawhi walks , the Lakers still have to incorporate the LECLUB scheme of playing ball, where Lonzo becomes useless , Lebron calls all the plays , does Luke bend over and let Lebron coach the team . It will take 1-2 years to settle the AlPHA s struggle that certainly will cocure, its happened with Lebron everywhere he goes . He fires coaches , and get his way . So...it takes a while to settle the pecking order in a Lebron team . By the time they get this sorted out , Lebron is even richer , and out of years . Kobe demise.
