I'm not so much anti Lebron as I am disappointed in his effort. Yes, he scores points and his stats look good, but he, as a supposed leader, doesn't lead our young core properly.
We can blame Luke for poor coaching. We can blame Magic for hurting the chemistry of this team. But neither Luke or Magic are out their actually playing.
At 34 years old, now susceptible to injury, and just not really showing that he wants to be out there, if it was feasible/possbile, would you trade Lebron James? |

Good luck ever getting notable free agents, anyone signed by Klutch if you trade Lebron.
It's hard enough to sign them now. The backlash we would get would be damaging. |

LeBron got beat for that FT rebound. That was his man. He rolls his eyes at his teammates an awful lot for someone who does things like that as often as he does.
I would trade LeBron James to Phoenix for Booker, Josh Jackson, Deandre Ayton, and two 1sts.
Starters:
Lonzo Ball
Devin Booker
Brandon Ingram
Kyle Kuzma
Deandre Ayton
Bench:
Rajon Rondo / Isaac Bonga
Reggie Bullock / Josh Hart
Josh Jackson
Moritz Wagner
JaVale McGee

So you’re saying LBJ has value?

| His attitude and demeanor towards his teammates has been crappy so far, he gets away with it cos these guys are too young to stand up to him. He was their favorite player growing up they all look up to him lol |

Why in the world would Phoenix do it? If Lebron was 25 yrs old they would definitely do it. Then again if Lebron was 25 yrs old, he wouldn't be available. |

Eight consecutive NBA finals appearances. If he was with any other team right now, it would have been an easy 9th consecutive appearance. He might slack off during the regular season but when it comes to playoff time, he became unstoppable. Unfortunately, we're very likely not even going to make the playoffs.

If LeBron was 25 he would try on defense as well.
That trade is probably better than the one I dreampt about where for some reason we sent LeBron to Philly and they gave us Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid That has an even less chance of happening.

We have no business in the playoffs. Lakers FO needs to regroup
and have off season success, this team is to inconsistent.

| I really can't beleive that people would honestly suggest this lol. As stated numerous times.. Players WOULD NOT TRUST coming to LA if you trade the greatest player of this generation and top 3 of all time. |

Sure, it would be better for the Lakers if we could do this. But realistically it would never happen.
Magic would destroy his reputation if he traded Lebron without his 100% approval. And even if Lebron approved, Magic would look like an idiot, since he would be tearing apart his strategy that gave up so much for.
No team is going to give up assets for Lebron unless if he whole-heartedly wanted to go there.
If we did trade Lebron with his permission, the return would be more of a fire sale than what you're imagining. Think Shaq going to Miami. |

Magic and Luke are the biggest problem. Magic is a loudmouth who can’t stay off the camera, keeps mentioning other players that are not Lakers and got straight up played by the Pelicans. Traded DLO, let Randle walk for nothing, drafted Lonzo instead of Tatum or Fox, asked Lonzo not to break all of his records, said he expects to see a Ball jersey in the rafters. Just completely delusional.
Luke has no offensive system, has a bunch of his frat brothers as assistant coaches, and has no clue on how to set proper rotations as has something like a 25% winning percentage.
The problem isn’t any one player. The team has showed what it is capable of by beating teams like GSW and Bos. IMO they’re just sick of Luke and want to get him canned for someone else. Lebron isn’t going to bail out Luke anymore. |

Keep Zo’s name out of your mouth. That kid is just as good as Tatum and could be a top 10 player someday if all goes right. |
