I know you guys know a lot more than I do on nba but I am a fan who knows. Meaning if you've followed LeBron his whole career you'll know the answer to the question will he retire a Laker. What was his favorite team growing up? He bought houses in Ohio but he set up roots in Los Angeles. Why would he go back to Cavs? He said he wanted to win one for them. Not one clip can be found where he says I'll retire a Cavalier…but the Lakers clip can be found. The length he has been with them should be telling. I know you guys have to make the show good. But I've been following LeBron since High school. I lived 4 blocks from St Vincent. Not just a fan since he joined the Lakers. I like your show. But man if I wanted drama I'd watch soap opera. Call it 100% and don't be afraid to state your feelings to your guest. Cause I can see you wanted to reply differently when Keith was saying he won't retire a Laker. He is a business man is why he didn't sign that contract. He wants them to have flexibility next year. He's a billionaire he wants part of the Lakers franchise is where this is headed. Lakers are glory and want all the best players names in the rafters. Why would they let him go.
*25-26(1st apron)195.945..Don't nec want trade just options…(1)Lakers trade Vando/Vincent/Kleber and Lakers 2026(1st) and 1.7 mill to the Suns: Brooks/Richards/Ryan Dunn…(2)Lakers receive Bucks: A.J Green …Bucks rec 2.3 mill (T.E) and 1 mill (cash)..cap space to sign Thanasis.. *1st: Ayton 8 Rui 18.25 Brooks 21 A.J Green 2.25 Doncic 46=95.5… *2nd: Richards 5 LaRavia 6 Dunn 2.5 Marcus Smart 5 Reaves 14=128… *3rd: Hayes 3.5 Bron 52.7 Thiero 1.3 Knecht 4 Bronny 2=191.5(apron)…
Its actually maybe ok to just move forward and develop the Lebronless starting five. Lukas FAB FIVE! As evidenced by the littany of nagging injuries that an Old Bron brings to the table; the Lake Show must limit Brons minutes and frankly with all these headgames just have him mentor the second unit!
So glad I did not spend a dime to watch the Lakers like I was going to!
trevor lane what iss go ing on with adou thero
Luka (26), AR (27), DA (27), Rui (27), Vando (26), Jake (24), Hayes (25), Smart (31)….that's a young team (- LeBron, Kleber) and all of them have something to prove this season…I hope they will stay healthy.
Man, you guys are really dense and desperate for stories. Bron reported he has a pain in his arse. Not a glute strain or a back issue. He's telling you nothing is wrong without saying nothing is wrong. He is resting, as he should. He is allowing Luka and JJ the space to build what they want. He is elevating the trade value of the guys getting his 30 minutes. It will give him time to study how to help this team. It's all good. And how lame are you about rotations? The guy who fills in for Bron is Rui (and in no way does Rui start witb Bron and Luka).
LeBron should move to Cleveland next year and chill for three more years …
Not even sugar coating it, I hope Lakers go on run for the 4wks and when lebron returns to the line up struggle to put together wins. And JJ has to figure something out.
LB is done he needs to be move out
LeBron's faking it. He just can't accept that he is not the Face of the Lakers anymore and the Lakers management did not provide him an extension. That's what narcissist do.
I’m glad this happened. All this idiots who think Austin reaves can be 2nd best on a championship team (btw I love reaves but still) are gonna realize how much Bron is needed for this team.
Also, 65% less traffic on this channel if lebron left. Cheers
Trade bronny
I wonder how long it will take this show to realize these three things:
1) Bronny will never be an NBA caliber player.
2) The Lakers organization do not want LeBron back next year.
3) LaRavia is not as good as they think he is.
1st five. Luka, AR, Vando, Rui, and Ayton. They need to prove that they don't need a Diva in LA.
Comment section showing why laker fans are dumber than gsw fans
This is IT 🔚🔜🌅📴
The team and fan base that loves to talk about others getting injured gets injured early 😂😂😂
Luka ain’t guarding shyte you Luka body clone
Phat guy talking about phat bios team
Typical lakers! Lebron biggest mistake is moving to lakers
No cap oh-voh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Im just glad it was the Celtics fan and not Trevor.
Why it feels like every season the lakers are the ones that deal with injuries before the season even starts😂🤦🏽♂️
Time to activate Slava Medvedenko
SCIATICA IS A PERMANENT THING, IT WON'T GET BETTER BUT CAN GET WORSE VERY FAST
Lebron's ego is hurting the Lakers more than his health and age. Lebron has always been a warrior and freak on the court. I believe he got his feelings hurt when he didn't get an extension and that the Lakers is OFFICIALLY and without question Luka's team starting this season (last year it was 50-50).
He will juice up extra and be back as good as new. NBA will make sure not to test him. They have been covering for him for at least 10 years
Yep he is a retiring, if you start the season with injury it's not going to get better especially sciatica
LaGeonside supporter needs to retire with his son
What about rookie Adou Thiero? Why isn’t he listed on the roster here or even mentioned as an option? I understand he’s not expected for the season opener, but shouldn’t he be in the conversation for maybe two weeks in? Last I heard, he’s ramping up now—just not doing contact drills yet.
