Quote:
Woj:

“Not only is there no guarantee he's coming back, I'm not sure there is an expectation he's re-signing there. I think within Cleveland and around the league they feel that he is very much in play to leave again and likely head out West to one of the two LA teams. The Lakers could very well be a target.”

It would probably be LeBron, PG, and whoever we could get for 2nd pick, DLO, Randle, Clarkson, Ingram, Nance, Zubab, #28, and all of our first round picks until 2030

Do you remember the Impact a 40 year old Malone had with the Lakers?

I can definitely see him ending his career here. He will be past his prime but he could still be a second or third option on a super team. Similar to Wilt Chamberlain ending his career here.

Let's be real, if Lebron signs anywhere, it won't be a long term deal. He wants the flexibility

Yeah if you can get the best player in the game you do it. But I'd be kind of sick to my stomach to see the lakers go all in on Lebron. Cause I don't see Lebron coming here to play with some rookies/sophomores.

not gonna happen folks... Lebron leaving Cleveland again would be a complete joke! He will trade Love for Carmelo and bring in Wade at a discount. He'll have 2 banana brothers to go up against GS with next year.

Well he brought a chip there. I totally could see him leaving now. But off course why would he come to the Lakers. That I don't get.

House resides in LA
His kids enroll a school in LA
Business is likely in LA
His post-dream job of being a actor and a entertainer will be here in LA

Lebron would want us to cash in all our young players to form a super team to go against the Warriors.

Probably be lebron, pg, then we trade all the young guys for cousins and butler.

Lebron
Butler
George
Cousins
MLE

He will be 34 by the time he comes here, he will likely just play the Duncan role, someone who can make a difference but will be on minute restriction...

Yup, Lebron the player is welcome at any age, but I do not want GM Lebron anywhere near the Lakers.

But this is Woj saying it.......NOT. The guy is a very over rated mouthpiece and has 5 times as many misses as hits.

Yup, many reasons. Plus he loves warm weather cities like LA and Miami. Lebron isn't a dumb guy, he sees that this team has young up and coming talent (or trade chips) and a guy like PG13 coming as well possibly. However, getting rid of Deng and Moz would definitely be needed to bring LBJ over and that would require giving up assets. It's a pipe dream but you never know.

That's one of the reasons I doubt he comes here. Magic isn't going to cede control to anyone any time soon, and LeBron's ego probably wouldn't like that much.

Exactly.

Dude probably wants to become a actor and even though he can still do it with the Cavs or some place else, the Lakers and its popularity will bring him to new heights as far as endorsements and jersey sells.

Sign and trade Mozdeng for Lebron now. I mean we don't want to leave the Cavs empty handed;)

Does this team beat GSW?

PG: Lonzo/D'Angelo
SG: D'Angelo/IngramAfflalo
SF: PG13/Ingram/Afflalo
PF: LeBron/Ingram/LNJ
C: DMC/Zubac

$27 M. per to the big 3, if someone needs to take slightly less LeBron would happily do so much $$ coming from other places.....
