RE: The Rumors Came True: LeBron To The Lakers

in #steemsports6 years ago

Well, I remember some articles during the recent past season relating that LBJ would join the Lakers this summer. They were based on mainly two points.

1°) LBJ bought a home in L.A. during the 2017-2018 season.
2°) He tweeted a Birthday message to Lonzo Ball

These two point were feeding rumors which in the end became true.

As I saw the new this morning I was surprised. This time without a special TV show on a national TV for this decision.

Obviously he is not getting younger, like everybody. But he knows to improve his game with time and last season was his best on an individual aspect.

L.A. is also a good spot for him when he gets contract to play in Theatre Movies, no long ride back home to make. May be he will also use a bicycle to go at work, like he did in Miami.

Sort:  

Yea those were a couple things that fueled speculation, but they could've been interpreted otherwise so I brushed stuff like that off. I think he had his mind made up for a while now though. He just knew he couldn't win it again in Cleveland after kyrie left. Warriors were too good, and Cleveland didn't have the flexibility to get better. Also I didn't know he took a bike to work that's cool, he did that often?

Yeah, without great players around him he could not win. The discussion were lasting since the Cavs first title. At least there was no drama. It is also known that he and the GM or the owner did not agree on a lot of points.
One thing that needs to be observed is will he want the club to be built around him or help the young players to evolve and become title ready.
Yeah he often used the bike to go at work in Miami. You can find related articles on espn.com

By the way free agency is unfolding, it looks like they're building around him and trying to win in 2019. Kawhi and Jimmy butler will be free agents. But damn, it's risky given LeBrons age. These pickups for the Lakers the last few days have been weird. They have playoff tested veterans, but where are the shooters?
