Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 4402930, member: 363"] LeBron is 38 and played basically 20 years in the league. He is OLD but he is still a top 10 player in the league. The Lakers got the bubble championship so I guess the AD trade was worth it but they are paying for it now. AD has never been able to stay on the floor and was infamous for his trips to the locker room and not coming back into the game in New Orleans but nobody paid attention to it. Barkley has been relentless on him and you know it gets to him but he quite honestly can't stay healthy really never has. The Westbrook trade was one of the worst ever but LeBron did sign off on it. and they have already lost one lottery pick to the Pelicans and could very well lose one this year if they don't make a trade or if LeBron or AD get hurt for awhile. LeBron is signed through the end of next year and I think the Lakers will do something and you are right LeBron is OLD but I doubt he signs the extension without some commitment from the Lakers that they will make a move this year and trade the 27/29 draft picks will be interesting to watch. That said, no trade they make will get them to the NBA finals, IMO. And only a matter of time before AD misses a chunk of games. LeBron is not retiring until he knows if he can play with his son or not in 2 years which he has stated several times. Bronny really not a legit 1 and done candidate but that doesn't really mean much. After next year he will be able to go wherever his son does and that's probably why somebody will draft him. Who knows how much a team would even have to play LeBron to get him for his last year or two so that he can play with his son. I think the Lakers should tear it all down and start over. It's really the worst roster 3-15 in the NBA and not even close [/QUOTE]
