I think the additions of "cerebral" players are because he was really not playing with people who played with their minds but played with players who played with their ego and skills (except kevin love) for 2 years now. So people like rondo and lance are really important for lebron and he wants similar type players to added in the future.
I honestly believe the biggest reason why he moved to Lakers was the business ownership he has. He can stay in los angeles and california and run all of his business from there much better and become a proper business man after he retires and he needs to set those roots deep during his playing days. I do not think lebron will ever focus on winning another ring, he is just focusing on being the best money making machine he can be. Lakers is also a great networking opportunity because there are so many celebrities that comes to games and they can get together and build a business relation and make a proper business deal.
Of course, you're absolutely right. It was told many times that on this stage of his career he focuses mostly on his family and life after basketball.
The decision to move to LA was beyond basketball. But if he manages to win the ring with Lakers, it'd be something spectacular - to win championships with three different teams as a leader. Nobody ever did that.
I do not think lebron can even come close to kobe bryant, dude had 5 championships with lakers and carried a lakers team with luke walton and smush parker and kwame brown to playoffs all by himself. Kobe never had a decent team to play with aside from his championship and finals years, he played with horrible players during the in between years.
Lebron is coming to lakers after he got old and won his rings and now it is purely business and nothing to do with basketball, he can still make a lot of money from playing which is the only reason he is still playing because he already started to make more money from his business deals.

Totally agree. I respect LeBron whole a lot but he's nothing close to Kobe and LA deal is all about money (which is okay..).
Not a hater of Lebron, but I do agree that the legacy Kobe established in Lakers can't be match by Lebron. Post Shaq Lakers and Mamba time as different. Kobe really re-define what NBA greatness is all about when he is in LA. Others may argue that he is a ball hog during his prime in LA but who's he gonna pass the ball? Its all about the money for Lebron and Hollywood glamour.

It's gonna be fun knowing Lebron will be playing with young players who are talented, they will not resist because Lebron is the king and he will manage in the floor.

So its likely a business move for him? That's good as least he is not like the rest of the NBA stars who after having a successful career ended up with nothing because they didn't take care of their money and their future. Others became bankrupt and was force to sell their NBA memorabilia. But I read some articles saying that his main reason for moving is because of his childhood idol, Magic Johnson. So there's a lot of personal and financial reasons for him really move to LA and yeah he is the best player so he can do anything he want.
Exactly. Even NBA is all about business. That;s the reason why other sport are better than basketball. But still anyway I'm a fan of NBA.
Hopefully BlackMamba legacy will not buried by Lebron James joining Lakers.
Nah I dont think so. Lebron is getting older and his scores might go lower on the upcoming years. If not, then the players who are defending him are the ones getting soft.
BlackMamba though. He had been with Lakers for almost all of his life in his career so I dont think someone can easily bury that. He had it marked in history and will not be forgotten.
Same with Magic and Abdul-Jabbar.
legend. Lakers fans are just glad with Lebron as they will have a chance to enter in the playoffs and it will bring more fun.
Yeah and more money for the Lakers management afterwards. If they could go to theplayoffs that means a stretch into their budget. Magic knows that and you could all see it in his smiles.
It is an obvious business mattter and not really for a goal of championship. Pure entertainment. Bringing in another Hollywood actor in their midst. Lebron James.

I think Lebron is going for the NBA record especially in most points in NBA history.

That could be one good reason. I guess he will be seeling his house in Cleveland now since he wont need it and will buy another in LA or maybe he already have one.
Dream come true for him and I guess fans will still support him whatever reason it could be.
Let's face it. It is the perks of being the best in the league.

Lebron signed for the Lakers because of his frustration on his last 2 years in his return to the Cavaliers, I reckon. This is the same as the time he signed to the Miami Heat. It is a decision of making the championship again, a decision for money and it might also be a decision for his own personal happiness, or his family's happiness.
You can find players moved around in search for happiness whether getting close to their families and the money of course and championships. But perhaps there's other reason because Lebron has fulfilled almost everything, (rings, MVPs, money, fame). I see that there are more compelling reasons for Lebron to moved to "Hollywood". But we will find out once he played in LA and see how it goes for him.

Well there is no Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh in Lakers. All of them out there are young guns. It will be a difficult time for him to carry the whole team.
He wins championships with help.
Wait, every star does.
This is actually something which is not new.
He loves coming in to a weak team and take them up but never a championship.
Just the Finals though. Is it really out of frustration or just fame?
Lebron James and Ben Simmons Highlight Video of their teamed up recently.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BnZNhF5AslA/?taken-by=cbrickley603
Can't imagined the blend of this veteran and young gun if they able to teamed up at Sixers.
I wish Lebron just go into Sixers instead of Lakers because he and Simmons are a good duo and they can dominate. Simmons is young in NBA but he can cope up with some of the veterans and he is an all around player. On the other hand, Lebron is also an all around same with Simmons. https://www.instagram.com/p/BnZNhF5AslA/?taken-by=cbrickley603
Can't imagined the blend of this veteran and young gun if they able to teamed up at Sixers.
Simmons need more experience but now he needs to practice perimeter and 3 pt. shots I think. If he can do it, he can be an all star in the next 2-3 years.
Yeah, I agree man. West Final Conference these season will be a heat up fight better and might be better than the NBA finals. Every one wants to see the revenge of the King and take another NBA finals win for his team. I don't know what might happen to the new West Rivalry but all I know is that Lebron will be having a new team with a possibility of winning the West.

I am sure not about championship because for sure he cannot make it easily since his teammates are not that good and experience. He got the championship with Miami easily because he was able to play with Wade and Bosh, but the Lakers are a weak team so he needs to build it first.
that the team might have a chance to form a solid blend, like how the GSW made they are not really the favorite way back, but after establishing the chemistry and by the help of another super star they can now build another dynasty, still a question for Lebron and the Lakers it can be decide when the
league start and how this team will perform.
Lebron is already 33 years old and that means he is aging, he might be unstoppable now but any injury could minimize his aggressiveness.
That is right. Lebron is on the part of hus career that he really needs to do what he wants since if he will be having an injury, that will be making his career fast to end. Though I know that it will not happen to him, losing him in the league will be having a great effect. There are a lot of great players in NBA but Lebron James are mostly the center of attraction.
