Can't we just cancel the East right now and send 8 more west teams to the playoffs?

Why go from one mediocre team to another? He must love playing those minutes.
I feel this was more of a business/retirement decision, which is okay.

If he was interested in titles there were other, more logical, places to go. This is about pre-retirement planning and maximizing his “brand” in the fertile grounds of LA. He is a smart guy.

Lance Stephenson and Javale McGee are both going to the Lakers. I think it is fantastic that Lance and Lebron are teammates now.

I dont think his decision has anything to do with playing ball. More about family and where he wanted to live, the great cluster #!+× they call California. I can't personally see ANY reason to move there but can see why he would.

His decision to play in LA also was a decision to pay the nation's highest state income tax rate. My rough calculation is that it cost him around $2.5 million a year in taxes more than it would if he was in Houston.

I tend to think lebron made this decision banking on Kawhi Leonard going there when free agency hits next year. The lakers will be a force to be reckoned with if that happens.

I don’t think Leonard will play in San Antonio next season. I think Lebron is going to try to get a trade for him before the season starts.

The Ball boy and his daddy in SA would make for entertaining TV. I support this trade just for the entertainment value.

Will Lebron allow Luke to continue to be the head coach, or do you expect a coaching change in LA.

He will also neuter him like he does every other coach he has played for since he left for Miami. Walton just has to sit back, talk to the media after games and collect checks.

Lebron made his decision for reasons other than basketball. He and his family like LA and he has several businesses out there. If he was wanting to win, he would have went to HOU, PHI or BOS....
