What he said.8 consecutive Finals appearances is pretty impressive.
The drama and circus that he brings to a team/organization is really just the price of doing business. As a Cavs fan, I have to say that price was worth every penny.
At some point, Magic has to face the music.Kind of interesting on ESPN today, they were talking about whether this season was a failure yet. Max Kellerman argued that if the Lakers can sneak into the 8th spot and take one game from Golden State, it would be a success. Talk about lowered expectations.
Also found it interesting that they say the Lakers have no talent outside of Lebron. Last couple of years, they were emerging with talented young players. Now they are all nobodys.
The last I heard, was that he may consider the Clippers.Kawhi?
Yea, especially since LaVar said last year that the Lakers would be winning championships in a few years, and that was before LeBron showed up. What a baffoon.Kind of interesting on ESPN today, they were talking about whether this season was a failure yet.

Same with Jordan, same with Magic, same with Isiah Thomas. Good players don't necessarily make good managers.Cant wait for LeBron to buy a team and manage it. He will inevitably fail bc he cant judge talent. Every roster move he has made has been a failure.
No it was not. They knew they did not have a roster to make the conference finals this season. They haven't made the playoffs in 5 years. The main goal was to qualify for the playoffs, further develop the young guys, get better defensively and integrate the young guys with LeBron. They actually were ahead of schedule until the injuries happened so essentially they're back on schedule. They'll be fine.The goal was to compete for a Western Conference title. The Laker fans that went to buy there season tickets after Lebron was signed have to be disappointed.
LeBron ruined two franchises in one season. That's quite a legacy to leave. LeBron doesn't do young guys. He didn't in Cleveland. Other than Kyrie, he doesn't like having young players around to learn their mistakes. He brought in Rondo, Chandler, McGee and Stephenson and that didn't work. He threw they young guys under the bus so now he's got a mess in LA. I think the big question about LeBron is how many titles could he had won if he just worried about playing the game instead of managing the teams he's on.The Anthony Davis seduction tremendously damaged this team, and essentially sent the message that the young guys aren't good enough for LeBron. As of late LeBron has seemed to be very disengaged and his effort has been incredibly poor at times.
After dropping 6 of their last 9, the Lakers are 3 games back with 21 games left. They have a bunch of games left against probable playoff teams, especially likely higher seeds. IMO the wheels have fallen off the bus and they're not making the playoffs this year. Regardless of gaining "stars", they've screwed up the chemistry so badly already they'll have to move some of the young guys in the off-season. LeBron needs to do some serious soul searching and decide whether or not he wants to be a contender for a few more years or a Hollywood star.
