Nobody cares about Bron bro only old people and his kids 😂/fans
LeBron should be 3rd option, also he should consider being a 6th man
If lebron comes back and he’s lebron or atleast still a top 10 player. The Lakers will be in the nba finals (barring injury of course)
hearing how LeBron will affect the Lakers as he returns from someone who put the Mavs as the champions is funny hahaha now, he is trying to find a new team to ride with hahaha
LeBron had the lowest usage of all 3 of them just last season. Why is it fine for Stephen A not to watch the games and then talk as if he did? Him and Shaq and these guys speak narratively in ways they can't even explain😂😂😂
Football team? LeBron a two sport athlete now.
lebroom had his time. he better give the spotlight to those two who maybe at their peak seasons
Stfu goat 🐐
Can people stop with the “Basketball gods” phrase?!! No such thing.
Lebron has played with Austin reeves since AR played his first nba game
You're talking about Lebron "Fitting in" ? Man ESPN analysts get on my nerves. This man helped them get to the playoffs last year and your talking about him "fitting in"
The Lakers are going to tank now lol
the sky is blue ah title
Lebron is focused on the playoffs and thats the priority. He will get his averages in the regular season but why we talking about 8 games in like there aren't 76 more games to go
Trade the James Family for AD & Kyrie
Trade him now and get 2-3 young guys to support these guys
To be real about it, Nico Harrison was fired right after he traded Luka. This wasn't a decision that was made a couple days ago
Here's a complete fact the Lakers are terrible when Luka and AR are on the bench, their offense doesn't score without them and in the playoffs this will not work your have to have a secondary squad off the bench. Now this may sound controversial to the world and especially LeBron, but Bron needs to come off the bench and lead the second unit and I believe they can get a championship this way. But this won't happen I guarantee it.
I like Lebron but he needs to go. He is just going to ruin the pacing of the offense and they clearly thrive off a fast paced offense.
SAS gotta stop acting like he and bron beefing 😂😂😂😂 Bron not worried bout bro
How did they manage to sneak LeBron into this convo😂😂
I think Lakers are just fine without LeBron he can't play 25 minutes any more
People are making a big deal out of how Lebron will fit in, but this is perfect situation for him, the team is winning and he can just take his time to come back and doesn’t have to exhaust himself after every game. It’s a long season and you just never know when one of those guys will be out for sometime.
LeBron needs to come off the bench.
Technically Luka's not the leading scorer because of the games he's missed.
i almost forgot dude was on the lakers with how they've been playin and we're going to say he's the most interesting story?
Stephen A Smith thought Mavs were a serious title contender in October, don’t listen to this moron.
Bron should take the 2nd Unit until the playoffs and see how it works
I see why I stopped watching this, talking about my team without LeBron there like other teams don’t exist
Ready to see the lakers on Sunday night football!
When LeBron returns the Lakers losing streak begins
Off the bench impact😂😂
What a dumb take
🐐🫡
Uh no, Nico Harrison got fired because he was the patsy for the Adelson crime family's scheme to move the team to Las Vegas. Everyone knows this
I think LeBron disrupts this team’s chemistry. They are playing phenomenal, I would trade bron. You could get a nice package for him.
Punk
Come back be the 3rd or secondary option, really should just play point guard
Lebron should be the GOAT 6th Man till he finish his career
8-3 is probably better than they would've been with LeBron in the lineup, but that pace isn't going to last (with or without LeBron). When LeBron comes back, he has to make a decision about what role he wants to play because they're doing well without him. If he wants to win, then he'll play more away from the ball and get involved when needed. This is the first time in his career where he doesn't need to be the center of the offense, and he's not capable of consistently being the center of the defense.
Y’all be reaching with the title lmao y’all be talking about him 24/7😂😂 what’s new
I thought he doesn’t talk about him
Using the Miami Heat big three formula seems feasible for LeBron.
Yes, Miami Heat style
Espn is full morons
Luka would still give Mavs 40 if he still there
I said it last year no one agreed with me. Bron hurts Luka. Get rid of bron and watch the lakers thrive
Consider the stats, I get the point of Luka and Austin averaging 30 plus points. But let see what's going to look like when Bron is back
Time to trade that flopper and even if they have to pay some of brons salary
