Lakers Rumors: LeBron James Unlikely To Commit To Signing Extension Before 2022 Free Agency Begins

[OaklandCertified]

The move is to get rid of Anthony Davis clearly (if you're going that route). Brah wtf has ever made you think he'd be a #1 on a championship level team before or after 2020.

Bron with a decent supporting cast gives you much more of a chance than AD and a decent supporting cast.

If you wanna go that route then it's not even a question. You wanna build for the future? Trading AD makes sense cause Bron about to hang it up in a few years anyway. Any way you slice it, comes down to trade AD and keep Bron (if you wanna go that route)

That's why Bron was posting vids of AD dominating. Bron out here advertising Anthony Davis for a trade lol.

Lakers front office fukked up, they wouldn’t even be in this position if they didn’t trade away they bench for Russ, knowing damn well Russ and frank wasn’t going to work
You don’t necessarily have to blow it, just get better bench pieces

 

[Jazzy B.]

Russ trade closed their window.

Lakers gotta flip Lebron and AD NOW.

 

[MJ Truth]

The path to contending in 3 years is moving LeBron if you let him walk you have nothing on the roster except Davis....id rather contend in 2-3 years as opposed to a short term cash grab and being a 9th seed....

Unless you expect AD and Bron to be hurt all season again, this is clearly a playoff team.

NO reason to think they will be a playoff team and no reason to think they wont be hurt (AD)

nikka cant sign it until august either way but coli brehs choose to blantantly ignore this just to keep these agendas going
never change coli brehs, never change.

It's been mentioned multiple times ITT and people just pretend it hasn't been posted lol

Y’all are smarter than this…a commitment to sign is different than officially signing on the dot…ideally you kinda want to know your franchise player’s intentions on staying with the team when making offseason moves…are do you believe every team is just out here flying blind in quantum states of uncertainty as to whether their star is quitting the team up until the very day extensions can be signed

And these are just clickbait titles to gain traction. LeBron has stated over and over his intentions to want to stay in LA.

And people will legit fall for it every single time. Brons team ain't gonna leak his intentions to the media like that, y'all gotta be smarter than this

Actually you know what..... Some of y'all follow the Skip Bayless, SAS, troll method so nvm

It's not about occasionally getting hurt and missing 10-12 games. If he does that, Lakers are making the playoffs

You're better that he's gonna miss close to 50% of the season AGAIN. Idk if I really trust those odds. I don't know if he was fully heading into the year after fukn his chit up in the playoffs, but this upcoming year he def will be.

This nikka is 37. He doesn't have the leverage anymore to try to delay his signings like when he was on the heat.

Why not? At this point you really think he gives a fukk about an NBA contract

 

[Kaypain]

So what is he supposed to do?

Retire...

So everybody can finally shut the fukk up

 

[beaniemac]

not so much. but he's definitely cares about WHERE he plays. after 20 years, u think dude wants to be potentially shipped off to a destination where he doesn't want to be at at this point?

I still think the days of him calling all the shots regarding personnel are coming to an end since teams know he doesn't have many years left, and they are gonna be reluctant to make short term moves just to appease lebron that hurt the team in the long run.

They won't shut the fukk up though
