He is playing well I agree but he is padding stats…he plays 40 mins, he walks a lot off ball/defense and he plays very little defense
If lebron plays like 25-28 min and play defense and take pay cut he would valuable. No one will pay him 50 mil next year
He played more years with lakers but his years in LA are not impactful, if we are being honest
2 more full seasons would be nice. He'd go out as still being great and would have time to exit cleanly while having a chance to win it all both years
Need Bron to get ring 5 before he calls it
LJ will be a fool if he agrees to sign for LAL next year after the kind of abuse by the stupid fans. While I am not a fan of his, the kind of stupid remarks by halfwits is rubbish.
He should go to Cleaveland or Dallas and try his chances rather than play for this stupid team.
Another day of “sleeper” ads 😩😩😩😩
He wants one more chip before retiring.
Bye Felisha
I think he wants to win a championship and that will be his retirement party. And he probably believes he can do it this year
incredibly lazy take
Good riddance, it’s always about that pre Madonna. I’m sure many LA fans are hoping it before this season like me. Ciao sucker.
Next year, Sign Lebron to the league minimum and line up a few sponsors who will pay him 50 million to do nothing. Set up a shell llc business for some green eco friendly business, contribute 50 million for carbon credits and go sign Giannis.
He’s going back to Cleveland to retire
I think this is exactly what LeBron wants. Luka is finally the guy that will take some heat off him. I think he plays 3 more years as a laker and we will win at least one 🤞🏆
2 years max to play with his Bryce or if he manages to win one more ring.
25 years 🤟🗽🗽
LAKERS… BRON… LONG LIVE THA KING 🧠🧠🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀💪🏿💪🏿👀👂🏽👂🏽‼️CHECK🎤🎤👈🏽🫵🏾
His defense and turnovers says he needs to retire soon. He just don't have the passion or will to finish big games strong. Lakers not winning shit with Bron and the money he makes now. Him taking 10 million next year would really help. He not doing that however.
Golf is the first sign of retiring ⛳️
26-27 will probably be his last so he can play with his 2nd son
Trevor, what's wrong with your eye? Is it just my screen?
If we win a championship there’s no way he retires. He’ll want a repeat
The Lakers need to trade LeBron and his kid ASAP.
He's playing 2 or 3 more years
The way I see it Lakers will draft Bryce in the first round and will give the Clown one of its Veterans Minimum as a payback😅
This season is most likely LeBron's last with the Lakers but I don't see him retiring any time soon. Despite his age, he can still perform at a high level so signing with another team is a possibility.
Nothing to see here, just the need to be in the news!
Lebron can always take a paycut nxt season. A projected 60M in cap space is available nxt season granted all expirings and player options become free agents. Maybe he can take a portion of that 60M in cap space and the rest will be spent on other FAs that can fit around luka and him. If not then he's an UFA 😂
He might do like Vince Carter.
Trevor just cause u want him to retire doesn’t mean he will, he still better than 90% of nba players out there
🤡james.
I just think Bron needs to make a decision whether it's two years, three years or whatever he wants, because it's leaving a lot of people in limbo not knowing what's up. I appreciate that he probably wants to try and go out on a high, all that, but he also wants ceremonies and stuff. There's also the matter of going out with a little dignity and passing the torch.
25 years he will play that way he plays with his sons and just break another record
Trevor, you can also skip some takes.
Pure dilusion. He is no where near top ten. He just got manhandled by Julius randle…is Randle top ten? Silliness. Lebron plays zero defense, you cant show me any tape otherwise. Does zero of the little things, he gets them done to him. Has been consistently declining in +- for years now. Has gotten tired at end of every season, first round exits and sweeps don't just fall out of the sky…
Pure dilusion to think hes playing at a top ten level. If you can't carry a team then what are we even arguing about? Hypocritical take Trevor.
Only way lebron in LA works is if you stop treating him like a top ten guy. Hes not. Hes right around or below a Julius Randle who knows how to fill a stat sheet despite not effecting the game.
Damn I thought Kershaw was going to play a 4-5 more years playing a few games per year
Hopefully he gets booed in every city and disappears . Bronnie should be cut or waived and out of the league and it can all end. Can’t wait till he’s gone
And stop with the LeBron isn’t slowing down. Are you serious ? His impact on the game is arguably a liability vs a positive. He doesn’t have the energy and endurance. He doesn’t have the burst to get to the net. He can’t defend the young fast players.
All he does is chuck 3s and that’s not a winning formula. Drove AD nuts making him run back and forth non stop
Garbage time stat padding to sustain his average numbers, what a joke. He is almost a liability on the floor now days with these young bucks when it come to defense 😅
Nowhere fast At 52 mil
He just pulling that passive aggressive bs. LBJ will play for another 2 to 3 years. He wants another ring but right now it’s more about pouting than anything. Not used to not being the belle of the ball!
Lakers need to get rid of this bum
He said that he will not play another 10. Well that leaves 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, or less. He's still leaving the door open for another 3 to 5 years. Physically, it looks like he can easily do another 3 to 5.
Literally the only thing he was top 10 in last season was turnovers😂
Can he just retire already.
Y’all won’t be happy till he sabotages Luka like Wade. LeBron will not be a second fiddle en route to a championship. He’s ego is too fragile. And he knows he needs the finals mvp for it to mean anything.
LBJ to GSW!!!!!
🤦🏾♂️
