Great news for Celtics 

 

 

Loving it. The only team with more overrated young kids than LA is Philly. I thought part of his interest in the Lakers was because of linking up with George and Paul who both are now locked up elsewhere.

Knowing how excited JFH gets over marginal talent I am a bit concerned for his health at the moment. He must be erupting over and over.

The tide is turning for my lakers.....

 

(Paul George.....may you forever be on sucky teams and never win a championship...you made the wrong choice bud)

 

By the way.....the lakers do not have over rated young kids.....just no super stars (till now)

I just don’t see them having enough to get past GS or even Houston before LB starts declining. I’m glad he is out of the east though.

Golden State nearly didnt even make it to the Championship......

 

These teams are super teams that you mention......but the lakers are up and coming with their young talent.....and of course the West is much stronger then the East anyway

The Lakers are no more up and coming than a team like Utah. I don’t see how it makes any sense for him on a personal level. If he brought along CP3 or Paul George then he could seemingly compete. I hate Kevin Love but there is a legitimate chance that none of those Laker kids ever play as well as him.

Lakers will never make a Final as long as Durant is a Warrior.

That's true, but Jordan always had the luxury of having Scottie Pippen though minus his first couple of seasons.  Why would he leave?  Pippen was easily a top 10 player and arguably top 5 players of the 90's.  Lebron never had anybody close to Pippen's talent in Cleveland and likely wasn't going to get it.  Even the year Jordan played baseball the Bulls were one game away from the Eastern Conference Finals.  The Cavs highest winning percentage the four years Lebron was in Miami was .402.

 

Also, MJ never faced a team as good as the Golden State Warriors in the finals.  Lebron knows his legacy is all about the rings and would be foolish to not improve his odds of beating the Warriors next year.

They just won it all with Javale McGee at Center. 

That is kinda not the point....

 

He doesnt help them if he cant play

 

but honestly.......at the price they got him for who should complain....its steal money for a player of that caliber if he can give them ANYTHING

He can only give them 25 points and 10 rebounds a night 

 

Warriors -125 to win it all = a lock

I will say it again for the challenged

 

Achilles = bad for a basketball player.....he might never be the same player

I think it’s like the Patriots when they do a signing like this and it’s basically no risk because they don’t need him to be the same player. He probably won’t play until December or later but it doesn’t matter for a team like that. No other team was willing to pay him more than 5.3 mill, but no other team is that loaded where if he’s even 1/2 the player he was, for 1/2 the season, it’s all they need and still an upgrade to javale mcgee.

Achilles injuries are bad for any sport.  Modern medicine has really helped with this type of injury.  

Since he's still in his 20's, he might be able to bounce back and not miss a step.  He may be less of a perimeter player though.

He’s still gonna be a bully down low who will slice and dice the Lakers and Celtics bigs with ease.

He doesn't have to be the same player, he just needs to be as good as JaVale McGee :D
