Should the Lakers Get Lebron?

Chances are below 0%.

We already have a champion leading our squad to battle.

1. Lebron and Kobe are meant to be the leaders of their own individual teams. Having both on our team would imo be an extremely unnecessary/ costly move.
2. It would create a heavy gap in our frontcourt
3. We have already invested quite a lot of money in Bynum and Odom, meaning both arent leaving any time soon.
4. It would probably cause a lot of negative reaction about the NBA, in terms of parity.

Its NOT gonna happen.

Lebron went to the Clippers.

Imagine the storylines that can be written…

Lebron James……

No beating around the bush (I thank you)… There is no way I would follow a team with a guy I hate with a passion….

I’m glad they got eliminated, there was no way I would be able to sleep at night knowing Lebron won a championship while Kobe was still an active player in the NBA. This and knowing Anderson Varejão would be a champion. That ugly mofo…

That would make NO sense for millions of reasons. Just, no man. That’s like trading Peyton Manning to the Patriots or vice versa to the Colts with Tom Brady. The football reference was necessary.

Only difference is the SYSTEMATIC split of duty involved in football, but it would represent the split of duty in Lakerdom between Bron and Kobe if something this senseless would happen.

When the Bosh for Bynum topic came up some fans lost their minds in the sense that they were upset at the thought of such an idea. Mainly because they felt Bynum showed more promise and you could build a team around him and also because he represented the future of the franchise during the post-kobe-era. Well, wouldn’t those same principles apply with Lebron.

Lebron has more promise than Bynum.
You could build a team around Lebron (well maybe not after today..lol)
He would defenitely represent the future of the Lakers after Kobe is gone

He fits the same mold. right now many people don’t know how many players would attract if he went to another city. But in LA that would not be a problem a lot. That solves the issue of losing LO.

end of story

Its bad enough when Kobe dribbles too much. Don’t need someone else to dribble out the clock until he learns how to actually run the triangle. Its intriguing to see how he would play in a system, but considering he never has there’s no estimating that learning curve. Now if Phil is leaving and the triangle won’t be used then I’ll take him just because we NEED SOMEONE else to handle the ball and create when Kobe is out, but we’d need to get like Hickson or someone else to play down low as well (Shaq maybe? lol.)
I agree with those above to look into the future of Kevin Durant, hell I’m saying we should look into the future of Russell Westbrook.

Right now he should worry about not switching to the Nos. 8 or 24, because that would be very disrespectful to Kobe, almost as disrespectful as someone comparing the two players’ legacies at this point in LeBron James’s title-less career.

should stay in Cleveland and rot.

Bynum for Bosh made sense because we still get a big man. But losing both Bynum and Lamar for LeBron would hurt more than help. Such a trade wouldn’t be useful until after Kobe retires but it would destroy a current championship team. As far as the scenario where it would be Bynum and some of our taco unit specialist, I still would want someone to replace Bynum (maybe Varejao hehe) because Im not sure we want Josh Powell, playing major minutes.

Bynum, Artest and Brown (after signing him to 3-4 million) instead?

It’ll never happen, but for the sake of speculation, this combo makes more sense for both teams because 1) the Cavs have Jamison at PF and 2) the Lakers would start LBJ in the spot vacated by Artest.

Aside from position, I’d rather keep Odom because we’ll need his size as starting PF if we lose Bynum and Gasol moves to C.

NEW YORK — The Cleveland Cavaliers have fired head coach Mike Brown, two league sources told SI.com.

Totally don’t want the guy in purple and gold. One problem that I have with LeBron is his attitude. I mean not as a person but as a basketball player. I mean you see the Cavs joking around too much during pregame and all. You don’t see Kobe doing that, like pretending to take a picture of the team….come on now. The reason I say this is because he lacks the killer mentality that Kobe, Magic, Jordan, and Bird had. Besides as shaqfor3 stated above, they both need to be the leader on their team, so it won’t happen. The same reason Wade and LeBron won’t be on the same team either.

Wade would be MJ and Lebron would be Pippen…
Wade would be Kobe and Lebron would be Shaq….
Wade would be Magic and Lebron would be Worthy….
I can’t think of anymore.. : )

A trade to get him in a Laker Uni couldnt be anything but good for the Laker Organization…How could it not be? You would have the top 2 players in the League and a Legit Post presence…That would leave us with a HUGE hole at C/PF which we would have to fill with the MLE and our PG problem would still be there…If you look at it, it wouldn’t be any different than when Boston got Garnett and Ray Ray..It is hiiighly unlikely to happen but if it presented itself you would make the trade in a Heartbeat

I might have agreed, but now the Lakers should avoid that heartless, adolescent-in-a-man’s-body, punk-ass loser at all costs. The only time I want to see him in Staples is when he is using a visitor’s locker. I have never been so absolutely astonished at a team leader giving up on a game of that magnitude as LeBron in the closing minutes of Game 6. Even my wife, an avid Lakers fan but light on NBA history, was amazed that the Cadavers just laid down and died. I don’t blame Brown. What’s a coach to do when the King abdicates his throne? James can not be trusted again with the lead role for an NBA team, least of all the Lakers. Don’t bring that weak-ass powder throwin’, picture-takin’, comedy act to tinsel town.
