Landmark LeBron sign to vanish from downtown Cleveland

Three hours after the jerseys went live, Fanatics had already seen a 600% spike in sales compared to the same period when James announced his return to the Cavaliers before the 2014 National Basketball Association season, the retailer said. “I don’t really have any other opinions on that other than it’s going to be interesting to see now if and when other players are going to join the Lakers, whether they can put a fight up against the Warriors”. Instead, they posted a note over the jersey saying “Thank You LeBron”.

And his arrival at the famed basketball team has also led to a lot of memes.

The Lakers haven’t made the playoffs in five years.

The 10-story billboard covers part of the side of the Sherwin-Williams global headquarters and shows James, in his No. 23 Cavs’ jersey, with his arms outstretched.

Also, the talent gap between the east and the west is as wide as its ever been.

But switching conferences for the league’s best player changes things.

While it was easy to think about the jubilation of Laker players and fans, many forget about the teammates James left behind in Cleveland.

Even without Paul George, who agreed to re-sign with the Oklahoma City Thunder, that makes the Lakers an instant contender.

All of the free agents not named LeBron James that are coming to Los Angeles are doing so on one-year deals.

“I spoke to him during the playoffs and then I talked to him last night, right after the decision”, Bryant said.

Many have thought there would need to be a third team involved in order for the Lakers to unload the contract of Luol Deng – that’s where the Bulls come in. The Lakers could let Randle walk as an unrestricted free agent, saving them a little more than million. Although, the Rockets will likely match any offers that Capela receives. Leonard isn’t a free agent, nor does he a no trade clause in his contract. With PG13 staying in OKC, the only hopes for LeBron to sniff a ring is if the Lakers trade for Kawhi Leonard.

While dethroning the Golden State Warriors will be very hard, the Lakers are heading in the right direction.

McGee, 30, was a reserve on the Golden State Warriors’ NBA championship teams the past two seasons.
