It never occured to me that this move will happen, but well yeah it did. Seems like every myth is just another reality that we didn't see.
But here's my take, based on my observation this blockbuster move of James has been one of the "non-hated" move that he did. You can tell right?
He moved from Cleveland to Miami and everyone burned their Lebron merchandises, tore down his billboards, trashed their sneakers and even booed him in the Q (Quicken Loans Arena). He moved back to Cleveland and there's still a chunk of hate from his previous team, agree?
This move of his was never brought up as "Controversial", why? His transfer to Lakers was after a Championship series with the power house Golden State Warriors which made his squad look like they're a rookie team in the league sweeping them out of the series with 4 wins to none. Then? Well his stats showed that he actually was able to give it all for the Cav, carried the whole team from regular season to the playoffs and in the finals.
And the masses' verdict? They said He needed some help and I totally agree(I hate this guy cause he's so good). So, when he finally decided to sign with the Lakers during the free agency period.. Hate was set aside, people were excited, people were happy( The lakers fan ofcourse).
But the question is, will he get his ring as a Laker? For me, nah! Not this year, im giving it an 80% chance depending on who Magic Johnson will get as his allies but this year will be tough not for the whole franchise, but for Lebron. Lebron will be building another team around him, young stringers, injured veterans, second timers and etc. Chemistry is one of the factors, plays, roles and more.
So whatever it is that will happen to the Lakers, it will depend on how lebron will build up these people around him and how the team will respond to the King's call.
