How many former MIA/CLE teammates will be on the Lakers' roster by October? O/U set at 2.5.

I'll take the under. Who is worth getting besides Kyrie or Love?

This ain't the cleveland cavaliers guys. The Lakers have dealt with superstars before. I highly doubt they're just bowing down to LeBron and every demand he has. In fact it appears LeBron was glad to leave that to Magic, but Magic didn't want to do it anymore.

Man, that Lakers move sure ain't lookin' good for Bron.

I mean I guess if you are assuming it was ONLY a basketball move....and all indications are that it was nearly everything else other than a basketball move.

LeBron is unmatched in talent/size combination and in lameness.

GM Bron has never been all that interested in which players (or coaches) are worth attaching Player Bron to.

What are the odds that Wade signs with LA in March 2020?

LOL.

GM Bron had made a lot of finals appearances in a row prior to this year... I'm not sure you're insulting him to give him all the credit for his teammates and coaches.

The smartest thing LeBrawn ever did was stay in the east conference.

Welp.

It's interesting that you point to all the finals appearances to suggest he's a good de facto GM.

I would point to the number of championships as evidence of Player Bron's greatness, and GM Bron's ineptitude.

I'm just saying.

I do not believe he has nearly as much say in LA as some of you do. And I don't think it's a coincidence that the people who seem to dislike LeBron are the main ones who like to pretend he forced Jeannie Buss or Rob Pelinka to fire Walton.

And it's funny that 48 hours ago it was "magic wanted to fire Walton and Buss said No, so magic quit".....and now it's "LeBron fired Walton".

Call it what you want..."fired"..."froze out"..."did not support"..."did not object to the move".

I just don't think it's purely coincidental that this Mickey Mouse shit happens wherever Bron goes.

It's not coincidental. If you coach LeBron and don't win there is a chance you get fired. If he doesn't support you because you're not a great coach then you might get fired. It's not exclusive to LeBron James.

Tons of NBA coaches get fired every year.

There are better coaches out there than Luke Walton.

Do I think LeBron wanted Walton there? No.

Do I think LeBron "fired" or has the ability to make Lakers management/ownership fire Luke Walton? No.

But it’s not just that, right? The same types of personnel moves happen on Bron teams over and over and over.

You really don't think LeBron has the ability to dictate who he wants to coach him - and can't make it happen?
I'm dumb enough to believe he may have actually wanted Walton to stay - so he (LeBron) could be and ultimately would be a player/coach next season.
Hard not to think Ty Lue is going to be the next Lakers coach.
Wouldn't be shocked if it was Jason Kidd.
Monty Willams, Brian Shaw, Ju Howard, are all serious contenders.
My long shots are Bill Self, John Beilein, Mike Krzyzewski, John Calipari, Magic Johnson.

Maybe Wade is the coach and start suiting up in April. Carmelo as an assistant coach if he’s not on the roster
