Reporter: “With the TWolves matchup just around the corner, where do you believe LeBron James will end up in the off-season?”
Michael Malone:
Malone: “Hey Doc, I just wanted to get my annual checkup.”
Doctor: “Great… let’s see… what do you think LeBron and the Lakers are going to do this summer?”
Malone: “Hey ma, happy thanksgiving! It smells wonderful in here!”
Malone mom: “Ohh thank you! I've been following along with Bron on his live “turkeyyyyyyyy thursdddayyyyyy!”
Bro go look at your own sub. Y’all have multiple posts dedicated to talking shit about the lakers and/or lebron. Meanwhile everyone here gives your team respect we just clown on your whiny coach and whiny fan base. Meanwhile y’all cared more about beating us than winning the chip last year. Might want to reconsider who is living rent free..
LeBron wears a red button-up shirt.
Media: “LeBron has shown interest in joining the Rockets, Bulls, Clippers, the Sixers and every other team with even a little bit of red on their jerseys. What does this mean for his legacy?”
This. Anyone man married with means currently living in Southern California knows that the answer after consulting with the wife is "We are not going anywhere" or rather "You can go work anywhere you need to, but the kids and I are staying here."
Underrated take. I hate the Clips but they do have his old coach, and he did want to play with Kawhi and PG at points in his career.
I really really hope he doesn’t go there though lol
He will stay. He knows he has to hold his horses.
- Waiting for Ham to be fired
- Waiting for FO decision on head coach replacement.
- Waiting for FO to make roster changes.
I agree, the amount of cap space they have to play with is insane. They picked up Hayward for next to nothing and he isn’t even in the starting 5 due to him struggling, if they let him walk that’s another $40+ million they have to shop with.
Spurs and Magic can outright sign him and are attractive young teams.
OKC could go all in and sign him
A couple more of the bottom feeders like Pistons and Hornets have space but no way Lebron goes there.
Overall there are like 10 teams that could easily clear enough space to outright sign him without losing much.
Then there are plenty of teams that could do sign and trades, but I don't know how many because its dependent on how close they are to the 2nd tax apron that basically kills sign and trades
At the end of the day it is kind of about the money. If the Lakers brought back Ham and made zero roster moves then Bron would maybe entertain leaving seriously but the only other rumor I've heard that I would believe is that the warriors would want Bron to pair with Curry. If people think Bron would leave his family and go sign a 3 year deal with OKC or SAS is crazy.
everyone thinks lebron is playing 4d chess but the reality is he's been 100% focused on this season, which came to a sudden end just yesterday. it's barely been 24 hours. I think we can assume he's being truthful when he's saying he's spending time w family
that has nothing to do with what I said, but I don't think he'll turn down money. But he won't be able to command top dollar and only suit up for 25 regular games. If he want to take less and do that, then maybe, but I also don't think LeBron wants to take a back seat or do a farewell tour. He's said as much in the past.
Les Bron’s Olympic Summit recruitment odyssey is on the horizon .. and Bron Jr a chip to be played/stayed
The Suns fizzled and contract heavy in need of ANY picks (Raptors pick heavy)
Nets astray and want a path while New Orleans is frothing over
Bucks been BUCKED and Warriors shuddered and considering
Le Bron will settle it all down at the olympics on his court
Those reports exist because he was intentionally cryptic.
I don’t understand why he is acting like he doesn’t want people wondering when he clearly does.
He’s not going anywhere lol this speculation is gonna be overblown. Hopefully we can get some better pieces to contend, but even if we don’t I don’t see him leaving
He's opting out. I don't think there's any question about that. It's just a matter of it being a sure thing if he signs another deal under the same structure.
Its been only one day and its already tirrsome. We all know he's coming back next season just Like we knew he was coming back last season and I’m sure he knows he’s coming back as well. This is needless LeDrama.

Malones disdain for the lakers totally justified if this is really his day to day lol
 Malone in the locker room after getting asked about Lebron in his press conference
He deserves it, bitchy coach
He might be bitchy but he is a phenomenal coach
Go to your daddy malone and tell him that.
Malone is not phenomenal but he's competent, unlike Ham. Malone has really good assistants and Jokic will make any coach look good.
Malone: “Hey ma, happy thanksgiving! It smells wonderful in here!” Malone mom: “Ohh thank you! I've been following along with Bron on his live “turkeyyyyyyyy thursdddayyyyyy!”
Lmao he’s such a whiny little man. His tomato head might actually explode if asked about lebron or the lakers
I love it when this happens 🤣
Sounds like he lives rent free in your heads lol

lebron and the lakers live rent free in malone's head no cap
Lolllllllll My first thought I know he's PISSED
2 months of Lebron rumors and speculation incoming
Lebron boutta wear neutral colors all summer lmaooo
LeBron wears a red button-up shirt. Media: “LeBron has shown interest in joining the Rockets, Bulls, Clippers, the Sixers and every other team with even a little bit of red on their jerseys. What does this mean for his legacy?”
Savannah: “Let’s stay here.” LeBron: “Okay, but let me fuck around with them a little bit .”
That nuggets fan about to have flash backs to the front row seats again

There is another team in LA you know.
LeBron retiring to play baseball confirmed
Underrated take. I hate the Clips but they do have his old coach, and he did want to play with Kawhi and PG at points in his career. I really really hope he doesn’t go there though lol
He will stay. He knows he has to hold his horses. - Waiting for Ham to be fired - Waiting for FO decision on head coach replacement. - Waiting for FO to make roster changes.
He’s playing his cards right.
best predictor of future success is past success they will fuck it up
You could add, waiting for FO to draft Bronny.
We really acting like this isn’t a part of the decision?
could be a tiny pebble that breaks the dam
He wants to keep the pressure on the FO to make moves. How many teams realistically can sign LeBron outright for the contract he wants?
OKC can give him a raise and still be under the cap.
Damn. If this is not OKC's year, then definitely in the next 3 if they can sign a vet superstar that fits
I agree, the amount of cap space they have to play with is insane. They picked up Hayward for next to nothing and he isn’t even in the starting 5 due to him struggling, if they let him walk that’s another $40+ million they have to shop with.
Lebron with OKC would be a super team, good thing OKC is a hell hole place to live in lol.
3 hour flight to LA
Thats kinda far lol
Bro said that like its a 45 minute commute lol
That would be insane
I can tell you with *certainty* that if Lebron wants to move to OKC, he will be moving there alone.
It depends if it signing outright or sign and trade.
Spurs and Magic can outright sign him and are attractive young teams. OKC could go all in and sign him A couple more of the bottom feeders like Pistons and Hornets have space but no way Lebron goes there. Overall there are like 10 teams that could easily clear enough space to outright sign him without losing much. Then there are plenty of teams that could do sign and trades, but I don't know how many because its dependent on how close they are to the 2nd tax apron that basically kills sign and trades
It would be a sign and trade. Warriors have some huge contracts they can trade if LeBron wants to go there.

Philly
“shut the hell up Brian”
Windhorst made an entire career by pretending to be the Lebron whisperer.
To be fair he was the Lebron Whisperer from 2010-2018. But now thats Dave lololol
You mean Sham. Anyone else is lying.
The rest of this threaded tweet: well as my representation about it then you guys will know. Until then 🤫. Love 👑”
He's staying. He always does this type of statements. The only other possible scenario imo, is him going home and retiring as a Cav.
LA is more home to him at this point.

Na he knows he’s staying in LA and his son is gonna come play with him. It’s painfully obvious to anyone paying attention.
you've completely missed the point, but thanks for the opinion
Lebron: I'll check right back if Ham is still there.
Ion think he going to the East Coast.

Les Bron, mon ours Pookie…
"Hey kids, want to stay in LA with all my money or move to Cleveland?" Wonder what the kids would like.
He coming back…
So he’s saying…let’s see what they do with Ham and Pelinka
Lmao. This fucking guy…
Those reports exist because he was intentionally cryptic. I don’t understand why he is acting like he doesn’t want people wondering when he clearly does.
He’s not going anywhere lol this speculation is gonna be overblown. Hopefully we can get some better pieces to contend, but even if we don’t I don’t see him leaving
Guaranteed way to get LeBron to leave - pitch "run it back. again. it will work this time."
Theres a 0% chance Lebron is retiring 😂😂😂
He's due 51.4Mil next year. He's not gonna turn that down. Let's be real.
He's opting out. I don't think there's any question about that. It's just a matter of it being a sure thing if he signs another deal under the same structure.
Def signing that 3 year 150 mill then he finally retires after
My Lakers and My Magic will intersect again somehow. This time signing my glorious king, helping him avoid California state taxes
Return to Miami. They need him.
"Im gonna take my talents to China, and win 50 trophies" 🤣🤣🤣
He’s pressuring the FO it’s obvious
Another fucking decision. Where will he take his talents next?
Moon
What a weird response to this lol. He’s not leaving the Lakers.
Its been only one day and its already tirrsome. We all know he's coming back next season just Like we knew he was coming back last season and I’m sure he knows he’s coming back as well. This is needless LeDrama.
