Considering how much I HATE the color Yellow the last thing I wanna see is LA vs GS in the WCF for the next 5 years.
 
Starting to see all the signs.

Lebron drafts Durant first for the All Star draft.

Lebron starts heaping praise on KD, making the Portland dig while the series is still going.

LA has room for two max contracts.

Lebron wants to play in LA with Durant. If both agree to do it, they can build a team around them.

That just sounds terrible. Why even say it out loud.

If LA gets both Durant and Lebron, GS does not make it all five years. They would be cash strapped to add players and wpuld be losing Durant. They showed signs of wearing down this year and would only get older.

I’m not even considering Durant being there. If LA lands PG/LBJ/Kawhi it will be Lakers vs Warriors for the foreseeable future.
 
I gotta feeling that Win streak over the Fakers is coming to an end this season.
 
Windhorst on First Take said other teams (not LA or CLE) have been requesting meetings to pitch Lebron ("some of which are very creative and interesting packages), and have been told "NO."

Lebron's career - in the sense that he is a threat to the Warriors - is done then, imo. He's extremely gifted but he tends to think a little too highly of himself that he can't see the forest for the trees.

If he really wanted to win, he would consider the Sixers, Pelicans, and Blazers as possible destinations - especially as those places have players geared towards his playing style.

Otherwise, he's stuck in mediocrity if he stays in Cleveland and there's no guarantee people will join him in LA. Already, reports are stating Kawhi is hesitant to be in the spotlight with Lebron (Pop doesn't want to trade to LA) and Harden doesn't like Lebron taking over his team. Paul George and Lebron simply isn't enough to win.
 
So pathetic LeBron James will only play on a super team of his own design. Mad disrespect from me.

He’s no Jordan that’s for sure, he’s not even a Kobe in my book. This era of stars in ruining the game for the majority of the NBA fan base. Parity is what makes sports more fun in my book. If this Big 3 in LA really happens it’s bad for the game, might be good for TV ratings but when all the small markets already know before the season starts they have zero chance at winning a championship it’s bad for business. The stars of the 80s/90s would have never done this shit, I almost think these dudes should have an * next to any championship they win.

The NBA is on pace to become a 6 team league.
 
The best part of this is that Cleveland will go back to being NBA backwater again.

I've said it before, LeBron ruined the modern NBA. He repaired his image in the eyes of many, but nothing has changed. If you have championship aspirations, there's no point following your favorite franchise from a team-building standpoint. Just rent a circus clown for your kid's party instead of doing the work yourself. Soon, the super teams won't even need GMs...

Lebron ruined it? How?

Boston did by creating the original Big 3. Lebron left as a response to Boston’s Big three.

And Boston’s Big 3 colluded together, if you recall, to waive no trade clauses and get them all in Boston together to make a run at a chip...

Yeah but in the end Boston still traded for Garnett and Ray Allen. If you are going that route then you can blame the Celtics of the 50's-60's and many great Laker Teams too. Or even the Knicks when they added Earl Monroe and Jerry Lucas to an already championship team. This is nothing new. In the past teams like the Celtics and the Yankees in baseball all became dynasties because they had the money to buy good players from teams who were struggling financially. But you are right, Lebron did not ruin it.

There have always been trades for disgruntled super stars, but I don't recall any time before the LeBron/Bosh move to Miami where multiple superstar players basically decided where they were going to go to create a super team. Yes, Garnett and Allen agreed to waive no-trade clauses to make that deal happen, but it wasn't their idea in the first place. Now we're seeing LeBron potentially doing the same thing again with LA, trying to round up Leonard and PG to take the Lakers from lottery to contenders in a single bound. That's bad for the league.
 
The only “new” thing Lebron did was show players how much power they have and how to use it. Even that Id argue isn’t really new, but the amount the players are using there power is certainly amped up since then.

I can see why it’s annoying, and for a lot of teams like the Blazers it sucks, but ultimately players have the commodity (in themselves) and should be able to do what they want with it.
I’m not trying to objectify human life’s with this statement, I realize how it may sound that way, and I apologize if that’s offensive, if I think of a better way to say it I will edit the post.

KD, Lebron, Aldridge, etc I may not like there decisions, especially KD and LMA but they should have and do have the right to make the decisions they want too.

Same with Kawhi if he get SAS didn’t have his best interests in mind, only their own interest then he should be able to get out of it, the teams can, and do (although not to the extent of the NFL, who can cut you because they feel like it).

I’d say it’s good for the league, the more competition for the warriors the better. Until the warriors and their 4 all stars split up, I think you’ll see stars trying to team up to beat them - they have to. But since the warriors came about due to a fluke in salary cap, it won’t be replicable and you’ll see it level off soon, imo.
 
Where will James go?

He as been on vacation in the Carribean.

There is a report he is now in the air on a private charter plane.

The plane is going to land in LA.

So is James going to the Lakers, Clippers, or one of his two LA homes, and make the GMs come to him?
