Apparently the Lakers front office and Lebron are at odds now but they can't trade him because they would look like idiots.
But I don't see them making the playoffs for a couple seasons now. They will definitely not make the finals anytime during Lebron's four year contract.
If they did trade him, where do you think he could and would go that would make sense for both teams?

The Harlem Globetrotters.
Seriously, you’re writing off the entire four years? A lot can happen and LA is a destination city attractive to free agents. They sign Durant and whoever else, they might not win the ring but you don’t think that team could make the playoffs?

I would bet an insane amount of money that the Lakers make the playoffs next season. Sure, it has been a disaster to this point, but this is the premiere franchise in the NBA. It is LA. Also, they are willing to spend and deal to get another star. They will get someone. I do not know who, but someone. Remember that they were the 4 seed before Lebron went down for 18 games.

When’s the last time that happened? 2006? 5?

I said at the time it was a poor move at this stage of his career to go to a team at least three years from contending. You reap what you sow I guess. Bet the Rockets, 6ers and even Spurs are looking a lot better now. 20/20 hindsight and all, but in this case foresight should gave been 20/20 as well.

Can you imagine this guy next to Embiid and Simmons - and he wouldn't have had to be 'the man' anymore putting a team on his shoulders everynight - and then he coasts off into retirement with another 3 titles or so? f*cking moron.

They could certainly make the playoffs next year but I don't see them being anything close to the giant that Magic and Lebron thought they would be getting. At 34 and in the league for 15 years his window is closing. He's not like MJ who had the raw skill to play well at 40 y/o. I think we're going to start seeing his game go downhill considerably in the next year or two.

No post season would be good for his body to rest. Jordan went to take some time off with baseball around this time in his career.

Did they make this big a deal about Karl Malone passing Jordan in points in 1999-2000 during MJ's first retirement?
Jordan didn't play 4 seasons, at ages 30, 35, 36, and 37.
Wilt, with all his insane scoring over years at a time, has only end up 6th. Dipper only had one year with over 19.1 ppg in his 30s (only played 12 games that season - "career-threatening knee injury") and played till 36. Dirk should even pass him this year. Jordan barely passed him in average, 30.12 to 30.07. 3rd is Baylor, way down at 27.36.

As long as he's in LA, he won't be seeing the finals. Durant won't go to LA, I'm pretty sure he'll end up in NY.

He doesn't have to ask for bread, and he already got J.R.'s soup.

Not that big of a surprise. Even if the Lakers did make the playoffs, it would of been an 8th seed, quick exit. They just aren’t there yet. It was all media hype. Stephen A Smith has them going to the western conference finals for fuck sakes.
LeBron gets all the ire, but I think most of this failure is Magic and Polinkas fault. The veteran pieces they got around him are meh, aside from Rondo in bursts, and they almost gutted the team for Davis, which would’ve been a huge fucking mistake. I think it’s safe to say at this point that they suck at their jobs.
LeBron certainly isn’t blameless. If he wanted a guaranteed trip to the Finals, he sure as shit picked poorly. At least he’ll have more time this summer to shoot his scenes for Space Jam 2.

His streak of 8 consecutive Finals appearances is going to end? Wow, what a loser.
