I don't think the Lakers can realistically compete against the Warriors. I think Lebron knows this, he went to Los Angeles for the endorsement deals and to do other hollywood appearances.
It's still too early to say and have this theory but I'm not against with it. I don't know with any other purpose that Lebron has by jumping to Los Angeles Lakers but if ever he does, it's out of my league. The Lakers have been lacking a true superstar since Kobe left so Lebron will help them generate hype, sell loads of merchandise, and sell out every game.
Exactly, he'll contribute to many source that Lakers can have. It's not only about his performance but you know, its about business and making money.

I do agree that Lebron moving to LA ha something to do with Hollywood. But it doesn't mean that he will not bring his best to Lakers. Remember he singlehandedly bring Cavs against the Warriors so don't be surprise if the bring the same attitude in LA to compete in the West with the likes of GSW and Houston.

He has a harder journey now because he is in the west, also, his teammates are young and no championship experience. That is the reality I like, I don't want to expect a lot from the Lakers, if they can make a slow but significant progress, that would already be better.

At least lebron can play in a relaxed manner. He doesn't have the same pressure anymore because of his age and he has already won 3 rings. Most experts already rank lebron in the top 3 greatest players of all time. So from here on out anything else he accomplishes is just icing on the cake.

Looks like JamesHarden is kind of positive about Carmelo going in to Houston. A quote from Harden: "Everybody in the world knows what Carmelo brings, how gifted and talented he is.
“He still has a lot more to go. If he comes to the Rockets, we'll get the best out of him." But the stats doesnt tell it. His worse career stat was recorded when he was at Oklahoma. (That could also be the reason they didnt offer him anyth8ing again) He should prove himself now. That is number 2 team of the Western Conference which he will be joining in. (Actually 1 if we will look at the season rankings.)

It is more about west vs east than lebron vs warriors. If lebron was on east with the same roster lakers has, he could easily achieve finals once again, it would be even easier than last year. Think about it, they had so many problems with the roster last year and was horrible. This year this lakers is better than last years cavs team if you ask me. However the difference is that lebron won't be playing toronto or boston, lebron will be playing against okc, spurs, rockets, pelicans, warriors and all of those great teams. Last year he had trouble single handedly beating pacers and celtics, he did it but it took a lot from him, this year he has no shot at going to finals because west is a lot more tough than east.

The main purpose of lakers getting lebron is to get a chance of being relevant once again but the reason why they are not giving away their young players is because they believe in couple years when lebron calls it a career (probably last contract he has) he will leave a great team behind him at lakers.
I understand that lebron is amazing but he is also getting older each year and can't really continue bringing this team into relevancy forever.
Nevertheless if you put ingram+lonzo+kuzma and whoever else they have into a lebron lead team with other veterans like rondo and beasley and lance helping them out a bit too, those kids will develop a lot faster, much faster and when all those veterans leave, these kids will be amazing and keep bringing lakers to playoffs at least, maybe even further depending on what happens with warriors in 4 years. The great thing about lakers is that they are seeing the potential of these young players even after the 4 year contract of lebron ends.
I have to disagree with you Lebron James didn't go to the Lakers to become a mentor for their young players, he is just there hoping that a big market team will be luring more Free Agents next off season. He wants this season to be a sacrifice for him because he knows there are a lot of superstar free agents coming next season. Trust me that all their young core will be touchable once the right player/s signs with the team. That is what happened to the Cavs when Lebron didn't want Wiggins on the team as he wants a big help with Kevin Love. Lebron is there because he know he has h8gher chances of winning more rings with this big market team.

I Include David "The Admiral" Robinson and Kawhi "The Claw" Leonard, when this players played together they shown how simple basketball can be, the minister Pop bring the best out of his team, the system really balance making the Spurs one of those favorite team who silently dominate Lebron, Manu "The Magician" Ginobili will be remembered because of the way he dominate, a player who can go both inside and outside attack, farewell and thanks for the game where you inspired fans all over the world.

He is not getting any younger, he has a good record and we will always cherish that. The big 3 of spurs before will complete their retirement because I believe after Manu, it's going to be Parker who will follow to retire.

Goodbye to the big three of San Antonio but they are now Legends. Hall of Famers which made a big impact on how a team play should be. Defense then a higher percentage of a field goal after a good D.
This three made NBA look great. Of course it includes their roster. Horry, Bowen and so much more.

Yeah they are legends now. Duncan is the first one who retired and now Manu did retire now and after this season, I believe Parker will be retiring too. The Spurs are reshuffling their roster now and they acquired new and young members in their team. I'm thinking how will DeRozan fit in their roster. Any ideas??

Oh, sad day for San Antonio fans, Robinson, Manu, Duncan and Parker was the core of the team during its run as champion in the early 2000's. That's why I think that getting Leonard was a start of a dynasty for them but it didn't turn out that way. We enjoy Manu throughout his NBA stint and we will not forgot those amazing defense and offence he has shown us, specially his EURO step. Pretty sure that he will be a HOF.

It is sad to see Manu go but people are reacting like spurs are gone as a franchise and will never be like the good old days. First of all they had a 40 year Manu last year, even tho he played well and provided with some bench and veteran presence he wasn't the person who change the course of the team or something. Secondly they had Kawhi but he played like 9 games and was gone, he didn't play at all so when they traded Kawhi and got Derozan back, that is a HUGE improvement for them, not because Derozan is such a great player (he is tho) but because they basically got Derozan in exchange of nothing (maybe green). So basically this year they will have a all-defense point guard at Dejounte, a Rudy gay that is healthier, a Derozan, lma and Pau at big. This team is once again a 50+ win team and can even content if they can improve from last year (hardly enough to beat warriors but who knows what happens). So even tho Manu going is end of one era, it also creates a whole new era for spurs.

I just feel so old remembering the great team of San Antonio Spurs when it is still one of the greatest team of NBA.

Oh well, San Antonio has given us good games specially during the prime days of their big 3 or 4. So there's nothing to be sad about Manu leaving the game. I do hope that we can see him in the background though, just like any players who have retired, who either became a assistant coach or head coach after some time. San Antonio should give me some potential position from behind because Manu has a lot of offer and teach young and upcoming NBA players.

San Antonio Spurs has agreed with Quincy Pondexter for next season. I can say that I'm not sure if I can make a very good contribution, but it will add something in the direction of the attack.

He's one of the best players that I loved watching. I also seen a tribute video on how his move became popular and was imitated by many superstars. I'll try to look for that video. SAS has been one of the most loved teams of all when they were playing with Tim Duncan and their tandem has been liked as well.

Well, DeRozan can create shot using the isolation type but it could not always go that way. I do believe in Pops though. He could change the way that man play and maybe give him some courage when they reach the playoffs. We know ehat happened with DeRozan at that time in Toronto where he was a little shaken. Here he could take back what he had loss and maybe get to the Finals with his skills.
