I heard that for LJ to go to LA, they'd have to move Ball.

Yeah, Ball is in that deal. Not so sure I'd mind him being gone either.
The school thing is a compelling tea leaf. It might just mean they are planning to live here though. I can imagine his wife and kids wouldn't mind bailing on 'the mistake by the lake' for the warm so cal sunshine and no humidity.

The Lakers had a real bad run of luck there. The despicable NBA CP3 undoing, the death of Dr Buss, the 1 year rental of Howard at the expense of losing Bynum, losing (2) 1st round and (2) 2nd round picks for Nash who didn't play much, Odom pouting his way to Dallas for no compensation, Gasol being butt-hurt and Kobe getting older. A perfect storm which kept our Lakers irrelevant for a 1/2 decade.

I have to agree that he may chose a different team than us with a better chance of beating Gentleman Jerry's Warriors.
Show him these Lakers playoff stats to help persuade him..

I know it’s the dog days sports wise but this is too much. Lebron’s plane was sighted landing in LA, lebron’s car was seen around town. Let me know when something actually happens. Every sports media outlet led with the “news” of LBJ’s opting out which surprised absolutely no one. Sure I want to know how this all plays out but this hysteria is over the top.

Well, Paul George and/or Chris Paul won’t be joining LeBron in La
Man, the money in basketball.
CP scores a 4 year, 173 mill contract. Wow

I guess basketball teams don't have as big a roster to spread the money around like football and baseball. That is some chunk of change.
