The Lakers are officially out of the playoffs, last time Lebron missed the playoffs was 14 years ago
- Thread starter TheAvatar
- Start date
Its just been a weird season. Curtailed once Lebron's groin injury came along, Magic and them showing they certainly didn't have a team ready for this moment. Now it puts serious doubt that the Lakers will ever fit a good team around Bron, and his last best years may be cut short.
His defense has fallen off some, but I'm going to disagree with any hot takes that he's washed/fallen off dramatically or this hurts his legacy. He's just in an impossible situation, unfortunately for basketball fans. Also unfortunately, he put himself in this situation as well, and hasn't helped any in team chemistry or build

As he falls down, he puts on new fur aka a new jersey for a different team
I think it was a better fit for his family iirc.
But also the LA life too.
Lmao but after Stephen Curry and him have a fight over control... he goes to another team.
His son goes to school there iirc. And LA is a whole lot more interesting than Cleveland. His moving to LA had like nothing to do with basketball lol.
Hollywood, his film company
Space Jam 2 green lit this year was his playoffs
Not sure how you are tired of seeing the lakers win Since they haven't won in awhile.
The team is full of injuries and the Nets aren't bad this season.
14 seasons straight. There's a LOT of casual fans and casual haters that have been watching the post season to either see this man win, or see him lose for the last decade and a half.
Im really interested in seeing how ratings play out. Will those people still tune in? Or just ignore the post season since they don't have their usual system to follow. Ratings for this season are already down overall.

What's funny about this pic is that he coulda joined the Warriors in 2015. We had Bogut, klay, steph, Dray, Barnes, etc. He decided to go to the cavs. Warriors used the capspace on iggy. Everything else is history. Thanks LeBron.
Lebron literally made history and probably his legacy off of that move bringing a title to Cleveland during his time there. If you want to thank him for that, you'll need to get in line behind every fan of the Cavs dating back to 1970 when they were established.
Last offseason they got a big name free agents do we'll see what happens this offseason.
Made his legacy? He helped solidify steph's legacy. Lebron joins the Warriors no way steph wins 2 mvps. And if steph gets another ring he's in this group, 2 mvps 4 rings - Duncan, Magic, Russell, Jordan, Kareem.
I don't see LeBron. Lebron probably still eating his 3-1 Halloween cake in his freezer.
Lol you dont know what you are talking about. Steph isn't on the same level as lebron.
Paul George and Kawhi-God are doing too well respectively to even go to the Lakers. Lebron trolled his last remaining years for money and LA booty.
This was in 2015 before the Warriors won any rings.
That's not what I'm saying. If LeBron joins the Warriors... That 2015 team probably wins 70+ games with LeBron winning mvp. Instead steph wins it two years straight.
What I'm saying is 5 championships in golden state are still not equivalent to his Cleveland championship
OP
OP
Okay maybe when they added Durant, but before that golden state had three all stars, pretty much like Cleveland. Lebron didn't win with scrubs lol
If lakers had kept last years team Intact and just added lebron they would have been in a much better position. Instead. They decided to play 4d chess
They changed the lottery rules so now teams can jump into the top 4.
For better or worse Magic's plan is to sign two max free agents and has said he would step down if he fails.
Yeah but them not making the playoffs isn't on LeBron. LeBron has taken trash teams all the way to finals before, but this team was even worse than that. Them not getting the trade with the Pelicans sunk the whole season.
They will make it next year though after they get a big name or two in free agency.

Imagine trading over to one of the most overhyped teams in NBA history—when Kobe wasn't playing—and getting kicked out of the playoffs after an embarrassing last run of loses. Bron Bron is good but not that good to carry another team
Lakers were a 35 win team last year, other than adding LBJ, they didn't make substantial moves to realistically compete at a high level this season. The botched trades and the effect it had on the young core, injuries, and terrible defense also helped seal this team's fate a while back.
This Lakers team is not nearly the worst team he has led to the playoffs. The difference is this Lakers team plays in the west.
