What’s the deal with dumping THE Star of the NBA who brought us a CHIP after 10 years in the desert? He is a marvel at his age, at any age. Lakers shouldn’t be about average!
LeBron still the King! Game winner!

And LeBron isn’t letting me down, that’d be Rob, Jeannie, AD (no fault of his own), Westy and all the retreads we brought in.
Well you are consistent if nothing else in going overboard for your idols. Lebron carried a much sadder group of scrubs to the finals in ’07. Don’t believe me? Drew Gooden was their 2nd leading scorer at 12.8. Now your beloved king can’t get this group on solid playoff footing. When are you gonna finally come around and realize that despite the decent stats, when these worldbeaters lose that extra gear, it’s their salaries and weight on the organization that’s doing more harm than good at this point?
Don’t think LeBron has gotten anywhere close to the point you are talking about. If the Lakers are not willing to trade picks and spend lavishly, then they will have nobody but themselves to blame for the situation they would be in. Frankly, having a clean cap situation with just AD under contract and loads of cap space is not the end of the world that the Cavs faced when Bron left.
Trade picks for what though? They followed Klutch’s “guidance” and it got them a bunch of nothing. Overpaid for THT instead of ditching him for Kyle. Traded what they did have for a less than useless Russ. Now they’re pushing to trade Russ AND a pick to get what’s probably an equally useless Wall. Then Rich (and Lebron) will wanna get Wall paid for a few more years at the Lakers expense when Lebron will be gone.
So while we can thank them for the bubble ring, it’s obvious Lebron can’t elevate a team any longer and the juice ain’t worth the squeeze. The numbers look good, but the “WOW” plays are done, and that was the extra he brought. That was what made it worth putting up with the nonsense that came with having him on the squad. The passive-aggressive posturing. The overpaying Klutch bums. All the other nonsense that Lebron’s prime greatness overcame. He can no longer overcome that by himself. Stupid roster moves cannot be compensated with a greatness that no longer exists.
You refused to acknowledge it with Kobe, and given the emotional connection, I could at least excuse it. With this carpetbagger, wgaf? If you don’t have a top-3 guy in his prime and he comes with all this nonsense, IT’S JUST NOT WORTH IT. Burn it down while there’s still some kindling, otherwise it’ll be a lot worse on the other side.
