Well many will say they are not shocked that Lebron James is leaving Cleveland (Again)! He left Cleveland to go to Miami where he was able to capture 2 championships with a very talented core of teammates (Wade, Bosh, Allen etc). After another successful NBA season (coming off a return to the NBA Finals), Lebron James has decided to take his talents to yet another NBA city. What team is it? Answer: The Los Angeles Lakers. Thats right, Lebron has inked a 4 year, 153 million dollar contract (option on the 4 year) to play for the city of Angels. Now the question is, why would James go to a team that hasn't made the playoffs in several years? They are very young and have no veteran leadership. Sure they have alot of money to secure some talented free agents. There are rumors that Kawhi Leonard wants to become a Laker. Magic and the Lakers just signed Lance Stephenson and Javel Mcgee (don't know how much this will help in the rebuilding phase but time will tell). Is there something we as NBA fans don't know that Lebron James know? I believe that theory to possibly be true. In my opinion, I have always notice that James makes moves that are best for him. Nothing is wrong with that as today's NBA free agency allows that. So it is going to be interesting to see how this all plays out. Magic Johnson has a game plan and one piece is already placed on the chess board. So lets see how this all ends in a secured Check Mate! Nevertheless congrats to the Laker Nation as step one of their rebuilding process is complete. The chase for an NBA championship is in progress.
