[last stand 2.0]

bynum
gasol
vlad rad
kobe
fisher

with

odom
farmar
sasha
ariza

all bench players and now people want to fantasize about adding lebron to that mix

i mean c'mon this is 100% lebron wants to come here if kobe bolts out of LA if kobe stays lebron does not come here plain and simple

now if he truly wants to come here sign another 3 year deal with cleveland when all our contracts are up except bynum and kobes then we can talk

maybe 4 years from now but this right now is our super team enjoy it stop hoping for something else

lebron is a freakin animal unto his own a 6"9' guy with a 40 inch vertical and arms like a tank but we got

bynum
gasol
lamar
kobe

right now lets enjoy it all you guys crying for lebron obviously weren't laker fans in 2004-2005 season and the 05-06, 06/07 because it was horrible watching a team with no expectations other than how much can kobe score this year

we have title aspirations this year enjoy it rather than bring us all down with stupid childish fantasies of putting the top 2 players in the NBA on the same team

one of which is 23 years old and the most physically dominant player on the planet yet laker fans fantasize of him taking the MLE to play here

Let him stay in Cleveland.

[Imadogg]

Let him stay in Cleveland.

Let him? [expletive].

Lebron's going to Brooklyn.

Stop dreaming, he's not coming to LA.


I wonder if people on a Mavs forum are going crazy debating if he's going there.

[K. Dot]

I don't think he will go to the Mavs. I think he wills stay with his Cavs. Just IMO.

[kobynum]

i think its possible if kobe takes a pay-cut...b/c Lebron would take one to not appear to be selfish and his popularity would rise...but this only happens in fantasies

Yea, they're both selfish

[GCMD]

No way, no how.

I concur...

Yeh, let him.

Isn't there a rumor that if LeBron signs with Los Angeles or New York, Nike gives him $50 million bonus? Damn. MLE with the Lakers! :haha:

[magicmoment]

that would be cool. but i dont think that it's gonna happen. he'll sign with a different team.

[Michaelyumm]

for now we can just dream it

[Aztek Lakerfan]

Lebron will stay in the East. Kobe and Lebron would not work. U cannot have 2 major superstars for one team. That's why Kobe and Shaq ended.

[Aceis²FresH]

Wrong^!!!!

[Aztek Lakerfan]

Wrong^!!!!

Explain my friend.

LeBron's really gotta work on his game other than flying over everyone's head and relying on his unnatural power to dominate people. The reason I say that is because once he reaches a certain age, I don't see him being able to fly over everyone and throw it down.

With the Lakers as currently constructed, I think it's a great contender as is, I just wish they could've somehow kept Ronny around for pure chemistry purposes. LeBron should be going after as much money as he can get at this early stage in his career, especially with the economy as it is...and all politics aside, I really don't know if either candidate can do what they're wanting to do to fix this economy...which is even more incentive for him to get as much dough as possible.

It would make more sense to me to see LeBron head over to New York before LA because not only would he be the main man over there, but also because he'd be in a huge media market where he can make as much money as he wants, and he can have D'Antoni's style built around him.

Ultimately, I think LeBron is a loyal guy and will stick to his home in Cleveland where he can be kept semi-grounded, if that's even possible for his Shaq-like ego. But, if he did end up in New York that would be a wet dream for David Stern to have a New York vs. LA NBA Finals featuring two of the best players the league has ever seen, similar to Magic vs. MJ.

Lebron will stay in the East. Kobe and Lebron would not work. U cannot have 2 major superstars for one team. That's why Kobe and Shaq ended.

I think that a lot depends on the mentality of those superstars. At that time, both of them still had a lot of maturing to do, and I don't think either of them really fully understood just what they had, nor how to handle it. That duo will always be one of the most tragic endings in sports history no matter what happens in both players' careers.

Uh yea they won 3 titles.

You lose.

[BadScooter]

If LeBron winds up in LA while Kobe is still playing for us, I will shave my head. That's how strongly I believe that this will/can not happen. The math doesn't work.

Maybe after Kobe retires (if the math works then), but not before.
