Lebron to Lakers

[Ogaju]

Wow, the Lakers are making free agent moves left and right while the Celtics are just sitting here.....

the lakers sucked and had cap space. the celtics don't and don't.

I know, but I feel like free agency ain't the same without the Celtics signing any big fishes. We picked up Al Horford in 2016, then long-awaited for Gordon Hayward in 2017. Extra additions of Marcus Morris, Aron Baynes, Kyrie Irving, Shane Larkin...

We might as well just be adding Hayward this year.

i actually wished we could've beaten him this year so the headline could be

"Boston beats Cleveland so bad, LeBron left twice"

They didn't beat him but came so close with a short handed squad that LeBron ran rather than lose next year.

he left this time because he knows kyrie and Hayward are back this year. And he can't take Hayward out on a lob again cuz it'll be too obvious twice

Getting close...need to add a Hall and Nash to form the NWO to be complete.

This would be more plausible if he wasn't running to Golden State and Houston at the same time.


I know Kawhi's still the big wildcard and there are signings to come but is LeBron's current Laker roster even better than the Cavs teammates he left?  There's a lot more young potential for sure, but as of right now there's nobody better than Love, the spot-up shooters LeBron relies so heavily on seem worse, and the KCP/Lance/JaVale trifecta they signed yesterday are...not generally reliable. If you go back a year to the Kyrie Cavs who also got smoked by GS it's an even bigger gap.

Bron's either gonna need some young guys to grow up in a hurry or they're going to need even more impact players than Kawhi to get them anywhere near Golden State's level.

In honor of LeBron, McGee, and Lance joining Lonzo in LA (and potentially Kawhi and Cousins), it was time to draft a new version of the "Build a Toxic NBA Team Table." The Lakers could very well set a new standard for toxicity this year, surpassing the Cavs' remarkable effort last year. Opinions are welcome.

Okafor would be perfect to join them as well. He is good at street fighting.
