is going to go to the Sixers for Fultz, Saric and a 1st, which is the correct move for everyone.

Lebron is setting up his post NBA life, which I don't blame him for. But this wasn't about winning.

You speak so definitively but things aren't as cut and dry as your black and white opinions. He gave Philly a serious look meaning that was a factor in how he was evaluating things. You don't know.

Agree. This isn't about winning.
Odd move to go to Lakers from a competitive standpoint

Can't see Lakers knocking off Warriors with that roster. Seems more like a move to progress his brand.

him for doing this especially when there were clearly other better spots for him to win (no one can argue that LA is better suited to win than Philly) but this NBA system just sucks. They may be flourishing right now financially but it's going to come back to bite them in the ass sooner or later.

The off-season is more entertainign than the entire regular season and most of the playoffs. Something is wrong with that.

I dont know how to fix it, but something needs to be done.

What move could the Knicks make that moves the franchise to LA? Lebron didn’t choose LA because of any moves they made the last 5 years.

Unless the Spurs are just so stingy that they won't trade Kawhi to the Lakers under any circumstance, Fultz/Saric/1st pick is a pretty garbage return.

The Spurs need to get smart (not be like the Mets) and get over the whole Laker thing. Now is the time to extract a shitload from them. Get Kuzma, Ingram, Hart, AND a 1st round pick.

I'd rather have Fultz and Saric than Kuzma, Ingram and Hart.

It’s an abstract crazy plan but I love the idea someone floated where right before the nba playoffs all the non playoff teams get thrown into some kind of round robin tournament where the winner(s) receive better lotto position and maybe a playoff appearance or maybe some kind of wild card. The nba would need to get creative but I’d love this if it ever came to pass.

It's really interesting the way LA has kicked NY's ass as a destination for NBA players. Wilt, KAJ, Shaq, LeBron and even Kobe to some extent chose LA as their spot. Kareem is the only one who I think rated NY on a par with LA - the Knicks just got outbid. Hollywood, beaches, sunshine beats Big Apple and "world's greatest arena".

I can't imagine they would be that stupid. If LeBron could get Boogie to stop being so lazy and selfish all while coming off a Achilles tear, he really would be the greatest player of all time.
Remember Durant and Leonard

Can be free agents next year.

Lebron is the biggest fraud in sports. Always has been, always will be.
You reward the teams that play hard down the stretch of these seasons  
djm : 7/1/2018 8:45 pm : link
WHere too many teams are virtually trying to lose. The players are trying but the mgmt behind them isn’t. That’s just terrible. You add that tournament, teams that are stuck in the middle but still playing at a respectable professional level would have EVERYTHING to play for. Lately all I hear is fans bitching and condemning teams and franchise for trying to win games. That’s an awesome and fun debate to have with someone. Yay. Great sport.
Lakers sign Caldwel-Pope.

No, they would just stretch Deng and get space. People are also sleeping on the idea that if Cousins goes there, a number of vets who want a ring will be willing to sign minimum salary deals to ride LeBron's coattails.

A 7 game series pretty much negates that. Could the '07 Giants have won a best of 5 or 7 against that Pats team?
