LeBron James

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Players should be happy at least, they won't have to practice anymore.

Well at least LeBron won’t have to practice and whoever else he decides is cool enough. Didn’t Ty Lue have a panic attack and have to sit out games in CLE? The LA situation seems like it will be more tense/stressful, and I thought it was 100% impossible to top the drama in CLE. I think it’s a lose/lose situation for LA though because I don’t see them making it to even the western conference finals next year unless they can get two all star FA to join (via signing or trade or whatever means) and I don’t see that happening. Maybe an all star and a specialist or two at best, and I don’t think that’s enough for LBJ to take to the WCF (At least in year 1). Soo basically we could be having similar conversations and drama next year for the LAL. This isn’t news but the Lakers really shit the bed this year with how low they set the bar for Lebron, their ceiling next year just feels like a decent playoff run at best.

Lakers mistake was going after lbj in the first place
Getting old
Too much drama always
And he was going there not really for basketball
Shoukd have kept developing the youth and then go after younger stars and let the warriors fade away some. Bad window for lbj to join lakers

One year of lbj and walton and magic are gone. The guy is toxic

Watching Dirk's retirement last night, part of me was sad because Lebron could have had that kind of love and rootedness in a city, but he threw it away by leaving for LA in pursuit of god knows what. It really tarnishes his career and makes him a more shallow figure than he could have been. His retirement ceremony is just going to be a corporate production from ESPN and Lebron, Inc. not a genuine expression of love from a city.

I'm late but this is a great point. We all know where Lebron Inc. is going to end up doing this ceremony. Back in the 216. By default.
 
Oh, and the spin will be "A native son who brought his region a championship." And then something about politics, how he meant so much to the game, his charitable pursuits like the school contribution... pretty predictable.
 
But the love won't be real. It will be like when your ex-wife comes with you to your kid's college graduation. Yeah, you're celebrating something together, but you can't forgive the past.

Agreed. The thing is, I don't want to celebrate LeBron's career.

Apparently Cleveland wasn't good enough for him on TWO separate occasions. Since this is the case, I'm not celebrating his career. I honestly don't know why people give a shit about this guy.

I celebrated our TEAM'S championship, which we wouldn't have won without him, I'll be the first to admit that. I just don't see the need to celebrate his career after the way he treated this team and city.

I still think it's unlikely LAL misses again next year.

"Buh 4th seed" arguments aside, due to their weak schedule up to that point, they will replace their 1-year-contract meme team guys with solid FAs - even though I expect they will at least moderately underwhelm given that so many people who are looking through purple and gold sunglasses have been hoping for Kyrie, another crack at Unibrow via trade, Son of Showtime Klay, Coward, etc.

I agree you are probably right. That being said, it's a shit show over there. They could totally screw this thing up again.

I think a jersey retirement is fair, but a statue would be a crock of shit.

It wouldn't be. It would be as much for the Cavs as it would for LeBron. Hell, LeBron probably wouldn't really care. The best player in history of basketball played for your team. Why wouldn't you want to build a statue to always show the world that the GOAT was a Cleveland Cavalier?
