LeBron To LA
After a magic offer to come to LA, Lebron James will be suiting up for the Lakers during the 18-19 season. Lebron finished the 2018 season on a good note with the Cleveland Cavaliers carrying them to the NBA finals. Although they played good it just wasn’t enough to beat the Golden State Warriors. Lebron was hurt that he didn’t win another ring in his eighth career finals appearance extending his finals record to a disappointing 3 wins and 5 losses.
After that tough loss Lebron decided to take another route and not continue with his childhood home team; the Cavaliers. He had multiple offer from different teams, but there was one that popped out and he was very interested in. It was an offer made by the Los Angeles Lakers. He flew out to LA and met with Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka as well as the head coach, Luke Walton. It was at this meeting that the Lakers offered him a contract to play in the Western Conference. The deal consist of 4 years for 150 million dollars, this was his deal yet especially with Lebron James Jr starting High School soon. This deal best suits him and his family. Couple of hours later it was confirmed by multiple sources confirmed that the deal was closed. Everybody went wild after seeing/hearing the news.Players/fans started reacting to the news on the internet.Some in favor of him going to the Lakers others not to happy.
What can we expect from Lebron and The Lakers this following season? We can expect lots of things with the addition of Rajon Rondo, Lance Stephenson, Javale Mcgee, and the twenty-fifth pick of the 2018 Draft, Moritz Wagner. We can expect the Lakers to be a playoff contender by just adding Lebron James. The Lakers Starting 5 will consist of Lonzo Ball, Kentavious Caldwell Pope, Brandon Ingram, Lebron James and Javale Mcgee and they hope it will be enough to compete in the Western Conference.
