If you thought LeBron's teammates were useless before, you should see who the Lakers plan to surround him with next season.
Of the four biggest NBA players in the free agency, three -- Kevin Durant, Paul George, and Chris Paul -- all stay put. A rumored text from LeBron to Kevin Durant's personal cell phone suggesting the two of them "join forces in LA" apparently fell on deaf ears.
At 33 years old, LeBron's 4-year/$153m deal could plant him in LA for the remainder of his career. The day after landing LeBron, the Lakers added Lance Stephenson, JaVale McGee, and, Rajon Rondo -- a group of players one analyst referred to as "a big sack of garbage." If LeBron's title run in Cleveland seemed difficult, in the west, and with this supporting cast, it looks impossible. Then again, nobody cares. LeBron's move appears to be more about business than a title. According to ESPN this morning, ticket sales in LA are up 2300% in the past 24 hours, and LeBron, aka LABron, will be well established in Hollywood when his basketball career comes to a close.
