You forgot about the best player on the squad ... Lonzo Baller!!!!

Magic isn't quite as good as the decision maker than he was a floor manager for the lakers.

The Lakers will realize in years to come that drafting Lonzo Ball and the pursuit of LBJ didn't pay the dividends they foolishly perceived.

LBJ will NEVER win a title as a Laker.

Neither will Lonzo Ball.

Big mistakes on Earvin Johnson's part.

Or Jeannie Buss for allowing Magic to supersede rank.

Either way.

You seem to know a lot about the Lakers.

Interesting.

Pelinka is the one making the trades. The trade with the Cavs at the deadline was great for the Lakers. Got off Jordan Clarkson's terrible contract - owed $12.5M & $13.5M the next 2 years - got expiring contracts in return, and got the Cavs 1st rounder.

Also got off Mozgov's terrible contract last summer, and got the pick to take Kyle Kuzma in that trade. Which allows the Lakers to offer almost two full max contracts this summer. Lakers have made a lot of good moves in the last year, and I'm no Lakers' fan.

Sure acquiring IT was a good move, I just see no reason to bring in Lebron.

All he has done is over perform with lesser talent and under perform with great talent.

He has been to finals almost every year and only has 3 rings to show for it.

He is no MJ nor is he even a Kobe.

And Lonzo Ball can hit the bricks.

And take his daddy and the jello brothers with him.

I'd seek out other superstars or focus on well rounded almost superstars.

I find this argument silly.

When did losing in the finals become worse than not making it at all?

And he is also missing the point, calling acquiring IT a good move. IT was a throw-in expiring contract. Cavs wanted him gone, Lakers wanted to be rid of Clarkson and wanted Cavs 1st round pick.

When you and all your fans claim that you are the greatest of all time.

That's when.

Lakers have money.

Dumping a contract helps them very little.

A pick may help or may be worse than a Jordan Clarkson.

Having IT on campus is a start to signing him.

Not sure I would sign him unless I was getting rid of Lonzo.

Like Tyreke Evans here with the Griz.

Picking him up when no one else was biting helped them secure a better position in signing him going forward.

All I am saying is that Lebron can find somewhere else other than LA.

I'd seek Kawhi, George, others before going after Lebron.

Period.

Could not care less if he were able to take a team to the finals if you can't win it.

Pointless.

You either are the Champ or are NOT the Champ.

And Lebron ain't the Champ.

New Here dude, you are pretty clueless. There are about a thousand articles over the last year about the Lakers clearing anough cap space for two max contracts, to go after 2 max players this summer, likely Lebron and PG. Makes zero diff how much money the Lakers have, if don’t have the cap room, you can’t sign free agents. They have been trying to dump Clarkson and/ or Deng to create this cap space. Had to give up Nance to do it.

And your Lebron phobia is weird.

How many years did Jordan not win it all...

How many years did Kobe not win it all...

How many times did Jordan beat a team that won 73 games in the finals...

Now think about this...That team that he beat that won 73 games then added the NBA MVP from 2 seasons prior without losing any key pieces. Was Jordan or Kobe ever up against anything like that

I may very well be clueless but let me say this.

Lebron will NEVER join the Lakers because he doesn't want to deal with Kobe 5 ring fans with his Lebron 3 ring circus.

FACT.

He doesn't want to face the scrutiny or the expectations that Lakers fans have.

I'd be stunned if he has the balls to be a Laker.

I say he doesn't.

Are we all being Punk'd right now?

Is this dude for real?
