LeBron James is facing a decision: Where do the Lakers go from here? | Numbers on the Board 

In all seriousness though. The Lakers should have got rid of LeBron a long time ago to start preparing for their future. Which is not too late to do so, they need to trade him to start building for what the team's going to look like down the line. They have good players but they just invested too much in Lebron and it really didn't pan out with him only winning one championship in the pandemic year.

Lebrons got his bags and purse packed with flight tickets at the ready to leave town again and find his next superteam

"ItS ONly BaSKetBAll"

They will sweep my Lakers 😢

Well at the haters can cut the sweep talk. Solely blaming Bron is pure stupid hate. 😮

Lebron is cooked, his ego wont let him be second option to AD too many times when he was cooking. 🧹 🧹

LeBron...leave the Lakers already

My poor glorious king

Draft Bronny and get rid of the whole team lol

He goes to Washington with Kevin Durant :D

Lakers would have to keep both Lebron & AD and trade for a Giannis or Embiid. Only way Lakers beating the Denver next season is if they have like 3 Superstars on their team. Only problem with that is that, in order to get Giannis or Embiid on the Lakers, Bucks & 76ers are going to want AD for Giannis or Embiid.

Nuggets. Sweeping the Lakers since 2022 😂

Ive been screaming from the rooftops since last year....the Lakers should have trader either Lebron or AD while they still have value and gets somw picks and/or young players back. Having a decent 40 year old on your team next year is not going to end well, AGAIN!

It's time to blow it up. Keep AD and try to build around him but Jeanie will keep Lebron for brand value and the money he generates for their organization.

Entire Lakers fan base told you you should’ve fired the coach when the bucks fired their coach. The Lakers didn’t listen and now they are facing the repercussions because of that.

These dudes just said AD took 1 bad shot so that mean he’s not on the best big men level. Where do they find these people. AD is putting up almost 31-16 and 4th quarters are a testament to the coach and Bron. AD be wide open but don’t get the ball who’s fault is that. Then dude say Joel bring the ball up if anyone know basketball no big man outside of the Joker will bring the ball up over Bron on a team with Bron on it

Someone gotta comeback down 0-3 😂

Now what y’all gotta say 😂? Let’s go La

I literally just said this earlier…. Smh You can’t buy championships with big names anymore. This is an era where your team from 1-10 has to be legit. For example, look at how the Suns are struggling rn. The Nuggets have the best roster in the whole NBA rn. Young teams like the Thunder are well on their way to becoming dominant as well.

Get rid of LeBron let him retire somewhere else. AD needs a younger team that can also defend. Keep AR he’s a good piece OFF THE BENCH. DLO can go. The rest are replaceable.

LeCry Shames will never be MJ the GOAT

Retire already Lebron can’t carry a team on his back anymore.

ALL the hugging that was done between Lebron and Caruso pissed me off! This was after Caruso went to the Bulls. The Lakers didn’t want to pay him and Caruso (IMO) is the reason the lakers won their chip. Also, it’s not like Caruso was asking or negotiating for a max contract. It was reported that he just wanted the same pay he already getting which was very affordable. I really guess that when team gets Lebron in his later years, it’s championship or bust. There is no development of the players. it seems like they have to be able to do what other teams have taken time to do with players to make them great.

In his letter to Cleveland in 2014, Bron said hed retire a Cav....

At least LeBron and AD won one championship

It's just Basketball - if a player said that he needs to retire, thats words of gutless

Lakers has their chance to rid themselves of Bronze before the trade deadline and failed to do so.

Hardest ego to manage is an aging player who thinks he is still good.

I want the coaching staff and bench players that don't want to play and just sit and watch. I'm tired of Lebron blaming you, when his team loses.

The Orlando Magic, Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves are very worthy opponents in these playoffs! ❤

Too late in Bron’s career for the Lakers to Rebuild again now. Smdh

Jamarcus Russell wasn’t an NFL bust. He wasn’t elite but he was average. Ryan leaf was also average. Lamar Jackson is the biggest bust in NFL history.

the minneapolis lakers are built for denver 🐺🐺🐺

from here the lakers go on vacation

There is no decision. Bron turning 40 later this year. Just retire already, you have made more than enough money

Should have moved him @ the deadline, now he's going to ringchase some where else and the Lakers aren't going to get anything in return

LeBron to San Antonio confirmed!

Lakers need to trade him before they can’t get nothing for him

You are spot on, all the blame on the GM, the day that destroy the roster for Russ... for nothing, and now you got a nothing team. Btw, thanks for KCP, he is a winner, he wins championships, we love him in denver.

NOTB > ESPN

Give *him* a Doggy bag n let him go give him the money to get Him out of the game.if he starts talking sh!t gag order no one wants to here from a dude that has a Massive EGO Problem Erase all the things hes done.or astricks** by his name 😂 Lakers need better training more training leads to better Players Better coach Lead Captain... Better player's Get a therapist for them mandatory counseling you can stay on the team

Future? sign LBJ to a max, trade him and AD and then rebuild .... again. enjoy ur bubble ring

The Russell Westbrook trade was a bust for the Lakers for sure

Cmon folks we kno what’s finna happen wit Lebron… he will be a golden state warrior come next season… don’t hate me… hate the message

GET RID OF HIM NOW. AND FIRE THE COACH!

How is no one blaming Lebron for not being the distributor he pretends to be? If he’s so high iq and facilitator he should be setting up AD very nicely. But one thing no one will mention is that he’s selfish and wants to get his numbers.

Lebum needs to retire already with his 3 championships from 15 years ago his 4th is a * winning during covid doesn't count

The nuggets are about to show you where they are going 😂

Lakers are done and Just retire and MJ is still the Goat 🐐 and we appreciate everything Bron has done for the game .

This is such lazy analysis, why does ESPN create these shows

ESPN just putting anyone off the streets on the channel now…

If it gets to the second i will say its time to get swept time.

Lakers dump Lebron already, 2021- 7th seed, 2022- missed playoffs, 2023 - 7th seed, 2024- 7th seed. Inexcusable.

It's just basketball guys

LeBron is winning it all with the Spurs next year

They're defense against the Dunkers Spot which is Arron Gordon is Very poor! That's killing them besides lack of O Rebounding

LeBron is nearing the end. He waiting for Bronny to get drafted

Legoat in 7!

Is that a life-size playstation 5 table 😅

Jordan = 6 Finals Wins Lebron = 6 Finals Losses 😂

Go play with steph Curry and win a chip

The lakers messed up when they let dwight howard go nuggets been cooking ever since they ket dwight go who was giving Jocker work.

This is ESPN? 😅 hm

I'm Lebron James is just a tease on me by him!

MIND THE GAME ™️ YALL LMAAAOOO

The LA Floppers go home 😂😂🍾🎉🎊

Stingy LeBron James refuses to retire while refusing to share his stash of EPO with his NBA brothers like Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry…but he did share some of the goods with Tristan Thompson. 👀

LeBron needs to retire and let the Lakers build around AD. NOBODY wants to play with LeBron!

Bron is done

Cancun on three

Lakers draft Bronny next year and guarantee championship

Cancun!

2:15 they started capping hard asf on AD they clearly don’t watch LA games AD been getting tripled and doubled team hard for the past 2/3 years literally I have watched every lakers game since then that was cap wat he said

Lebron bashing is really what small people like to do, yall are ridiculous

This was a lazy post by ESPN to show a podcast of millennials talking about the NBA #boring #thisaintit

These guys 🗑️ 😂

To Cancun

God, I hope Lebron retires after tonight...

King 👑 James

#B1CaliMaxx

Nugget in 4! 🤣😈 🧹 🧹🧹🧹🫵🏾👊🏾😉🕺🏾

When Lebron retires the league will be fun to watch again

I'm hoping he leaves. I'd rather a bad team than a lebron team.

stop calling him the goat, its blasphemous. he calls himself that, which is corny. kobe & jordan would never.

LeBron's without doubt the greatest player to ever play in the NBA the numbers back it up and it's just a fact that this point Jordan wasn't even close to the athlete LeBron is or basketball player, however LeBron let his Fame and other things blind him in this decision to go to La which was the worst decision of his career he could have stayed in Cleveland after the 2018-2019 season and assembled a team to win at least two more championships, if not more than that and that would have changed the argument completely at that point the Stephen A Smith and Skip bayless's of the world if LeBron right now was sitting on five or six championships there would be no more debate so he kind of sunk his own ship pursuing Fame and financial growth in Los Angeles instead of sticking to basketball

Trade him

It's the personal 2020 we had bigger bodies D12 Mcgee to play vs joker plus ad AD yes murray was injured but we had defensive bodies we had the perfect mix we need center physical bodies

lakers are swept out of the playoffs again - LEespn continues 2 talk about the LEzesty ramone shames an his legacy. why keep talkn bout the loser.

Lakers just need a new coach period!!! That simple

Trying to act humble for stupid people

They just don't have the defense. The batch where they had Howard and McGee were the best. They were switching Davis, Howard and McGee on Jokic during that time, and Jokic was having a hard time. Now, no big guy in the Lakers can stop Jokic. Davis can easily get exhausted and he has no help.

At the end of the day its just basketball- underdog put that on a t shirt

Lebron 4.0

0-3 comeback for the craziest comeback story ever

Crazy thing is the Lakers have led 70% of the time but it seems they are done. They just have to close out games. Unfortunately, Jokic and Murray are the two best clutch players on the court. They pretty much would need to be leading by 20 with 6 minutes left to win. Murray goes crazy in the fourth quarter and now MPJ is locked in and can't miss in the fourth. KCP is clutch, Reggie Jackson makes big shots and Aaron Gordon been bullying Bron, AD, Rui and whoever is in the paint. With all that going on it's crazy that have led 70% of the time and still lose. As a Lakers fan, this is a sad way to go out if they don't get one. They lose you need to go and get DeRozan to have a third scorer, trade Dlo and a future 1st for him. Reaves, DeRozan, Bron, Rui, AD would be more of a threat as DeRozan would not go missing like Dlo.

What kills me with everybody, talk about draft picks unless you get in a player in the top team when has a draft pick look good in the last 10 years to turn into a all star pass the 10 pick

Bron to the Clippers …

We should've traded him to Cleveland for Donovan Mitchell but everyone worships the most overrated basketball player ever.

F

Pretty easy to see that it’s a bad coach, inconsistent team mates and injuries
