See ya LeBron. Good riddance, and enjoy getting knocked out in the Western Conference Playoffs every year.

LOL. Cleveland just became a .500 or worse team IMO. Enjoy your freedom.

Strange move IMO, it seems basketball was not the top consideration unless he knows something about the Lakers the rest of us don't.

We'll see.

I assume the Lakers will sign at least 1 other huge name.

I doubt Cleveland wins more than 30 games next year.

I agree it is very strange. Does not seem like the Lakers have the skills to win a championship even with LeBron. What other moves are they getting ready to make?

OddShark (a betting site) put the Laker's odds for a 2019 championship at +350, tied with the Celtics for 2nd highest odds (after the Warriors). That's a huge shift, it seems, although I wonder if that's accounting for the strong possibility that another star player will also land in LA this off season (not to mention some ring-chasing vets)...

The Lakers still have Golden State and Houston to contend with, so don't start celebrating quite yet. But LeBron is now surrounded by a lot of young talent, so if he can will his team deep into the playoffs, who knows. However, keep in mind during his four year contract he will be 34 through 37 years old, so the gas may run out at some point. All in all, pretty darn interesting.

The Lakers had a fantastic draft in 2017, picking up both Lonzo Ball and Kyle Kuzma. How often does a team get two bona fide stars in the same draft? Now they have Lebron. That's a lot of talent added in just a couple of years.

I pray it's revealed that LeBron knew he was leaving, and pushed the Cavs to trade for Clarkson & Nance (thankful for Nance because I played on a summer camp team several years ago and have had several conversations with his dad) in order to help the Lakers clear the cap space necessary to sign LeBron. That might finally change how some Cleveland fans view LeBron, causing them to shed the rose colored glasses.

If you want to know how bad LeBron is as a GM, the Cavs now have the second worst title odds with LeBron's departure. He built the second worst team in the NBA.

All is not lost, you have that 8th pick.

And with him, the Cavs made the finals. Says something about just how remarkable a player he is, no?
