Did it matter last season? Of course.

The Lakers are lucky to have Lebron and next year things will only move up.
Getting Irving, Butler, or Kemba will work.
Lebron has never been out of the playoffs, and the Lakers would have been in the playoffs if he wasn't hurt.
The BIGGEST mistake the Lakers made was not surrounding Lebron and Ball with shooters. Those two guys are the best playmakers in the league right now. But they had no shooters to pass to.
Please tell the FO to read this.
Next year have to sign McGee and Bullock. Try to get back Brooke and Randle for rim protection.
And get Garland for the 4th and keep him.
Try to find more clutch shooters.
That is the key for a winning contender around Lebron and Ball. |

I wonder how they will feel once they finally get a playoff run under their belts. |

Or maybe recruit isn't the right word.
He might have just been gauging the situation.
Checking to see where each of their heads are at and to see if the players had interest in joining Lebron. |
Or maybe he just enjoys being the story? Picking the place in town where TMZ camps out ensures that he gets maximum media exposure. It might help ticket sales for his movie. |
 oh man, I know everyone’s been putting up with vlf’s negativity / cynicism around this board for months, but this take takes the cake

I don't mind it.
I just consider him to be Mitch's cousin or something. And he wants the current FO to fail so his cousin's firing would seem like a mistake. Family loyalty. |

Yeap, young players usually don't have thick skin and stuff like this would bother them easily, especially if it were true.... |

I figure he's either Johnny Buss or drinking buddies with Jimmy.

Who cares, it's been 6 years since playoffs. You don't worry about replacements when you actually pull your own weight. |

That's what you gotta love about guys like Kawhi and Giannis... they go about their business quietly during the off-season and only let the results show on opening day. |

Not killing him for it, lol. There's no doubting the work he puts in... just saying I wish he was more of a closed book. Keep others guessing. |

To me, it seemed like BI was still playing well (until he was injured) and not worrying about getting replaced last year. Can't say the same for Kuz.

I wonder how the young guys feel having seen LeBron's Instagram post about working out at 4 am... and if they're motivated to do the same.
Perhaps, he even posted it partly to get a message across to them? |
