All the signs pointed to the Lakers. This is a great move for the NBA and a great move for Lebron imo. My introduction to basketball when i was a child was the Lakers. I grew up watching Kareem, Magic, Worthy, Byron Scott, AC Green, Kurt Rambis and Pat Riley. Now Lebron gets to join them and build on his legacy. Sell out games at Staples Center are back. Lebron will bring them a title in 4 years, imo.
I don't see Kawhi joining them, not now anyway, only because he is still under contract. maybe he will join them next season. Cousins will be joining the Lakers. Maybe they can bring inShaq as a consultant to help dude out, channel his emotions better. I know Shaq was working with him in Sacramento. I'm pretty pumped for the upcoming season and now we all have a reason to say F the lakers again. I'm sure Lebron's first declaration will be to get rid of Lonzo Ball ha ha ha.
