This dude and these damn knee problems

 

[Chris Cool]

Mr glass back at it.

He'll be ready for training camp. No big deal.

 

[ALonelyDad]

He was just allowed to practice last week and before that he was receiving injections..either this was before or it happened recently. If that is the case, that is pretty bad news.

This was my first thought. They were very quiet about his “knee contusion” that took him out for a month...

LeBron James' decision to become a free agent became public on Friday and he is expected to decide between the Los Angeles Lakers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers.

"This is a good day for the Los Angeles Lakers," said Brian Windhorst. "It's a step forward for the Lakers. I believe the Lakers have the inside track for getting LeBron."

Windhorst suggested that the meeting between James and Magic Johnson will be critical for the Lakers' chances.

"If the Lakers can close the deal in that meeting, they have a great chance of stealing LeBron James away from the Cavaliers."

Windhorst said it imperative that the Lakers convince James they can build a team around him even if they don't receive a commitment from Paul George or trade for Kawhi Leonard.

"This will be about more than just this summer's transaction. It will be a long-term decision."

James appears to believe that the Lakers have more potential than the Cavaliers.

"The Lakers have a lot more avenues to chase (the Warriors) down," said Windhorst.

Windhorst added that the 76ers will have the chance to pitch James. The most important factor will be whether Joel Embiid and James can discuss how they can play together.

"I think the Lakers are the leaders for LeBron James," Windhorst concluded.

Of course everybody is feeling that way. The OKC camp has been leaking this out the past few days. If it was a forgone conclusion PG would've let me it be known he was re-signing like KD told Rachel Nicholas he was re-signing with the Warriors.
