I remember the days it was appealing, too. Then I thought it sucked the life out of me. Now I’m unemployed and it’s quite appealing again. 

Yeah he was clearly driving that clown car. Let's put ALL of the league's head cases on one team! He seemed genuinely baffled that they weren't winning. 

Keep telling yourself that. You think Pelika could or would have overruled Magic? 

I work for an outsourcing Cust. Srvc company and have been in between accounts for about 2 months now. Can confirm, I dread coming to work with nothing to do way more than coming to work with a busy schedule. It’s brutal. I’m commenting on deadspin articles now. I’m a “redditor”. My god what have I become?

Maybe he likes danger. Or making a real entrance. I don’t know the man.

You’re spot on. LeBron was going to go to the Lakers anyways. The Lakers were stupid to hire him. Anytime that idiot is ever asked his opinion on basketball franchises pre-GM day, he would say: “All the Lakers need to do is sign LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kawki Leonard, etc.” Like yeah dude, of course any team that…

I mean, you’re the guy writing for a sports news website and I’m just an internet commenter avoiding doing actual work on a Wednesday morning, but I get the sense that Magic had literally nothing to do with LeBron getting to the Lakers - LeBron went to the Lakers because it was the best fit for him, his business, his…

The hardest job is trying to look like you’re busy.

If you’ve ever had the opportunity to quit a job you hate without having to worry about what you’ll do next, it’s an amazing feeling. This is the first time I’ve had something in common with Magic Johnson.

The lesson in all of this is, of course: NBA Organizations, stop hiring NBA celebrities to do jobs that aren’t celebrity jobs and require real work and dedication. I’m looking at you, Knicks and Lakers.

Dan Gilbert sucks, but what did he ever deny LeBron in his second stint? Since you don’t give any evidence of how Gilbert “was never going to facilitate building the team he really needed,” let’s look at some of the moves Cleveland made that LeBron pushed for:

I’ve been saying it for years. You just can’t play baseball AND the-ground-is-lava at the same time.

I meant "officially", but your point certainly stands.

LeBron doesn’t care. He said himself after the Cavs title he never had to win another thing to validate his legacy. He went to LA to solely expand the “LeBron James Global Media Empire”tm

We are staring down the prospect of Coach/GM/Captain LeBron, aren't we?

Dude, don’t even suggest that.

LeBron is not leaving, although there is no way he is happy right now.
