Howard is an incredible cancer. Lebron would not want Dwight next to him.l never mind on the same team.
Well, if you read between the lines it looks like LA, unfortunately for me.
Lebron is on his instragram account showing videos at some ridiculous beach house (his or rented, who knows?), and who is in all the videos? All relaxed and shi* like the decision is made.
Family and friends.
A subtle wink and a nod. It’s what I feared. It may actually come down to family...8 straight finals down the hopper. 3 rings and no more. Not in the loaded west...
And if Lebron has tired of Gilbert (the low hand slap after getting to the Finals was a dead giveaway), and vice versa, “family” can only mean LA.

Even WITH mounting speculation Paul George is going to OKC, and absolutely no guarantee Leonard would be traded to the Lakers, and simply with Lebron’s plane landing in LA, here is what the public has done to the line at the Westgate:
@BFawksESPN
The #Lakers now have the second-best odds to win the 2018-19 title at +350 at Westgate.
They opened 20-1 and were +650 yesterday before odds were taken down.
Insanity....

PG signing with OKC is a big boost to the bet! Talks have stalled between the Spurs and Lakers (and I hope that continues).
If Lebron wants to play a year with the current squad, and the Lakers keep one free agent spot open for 2019 and more free agents, so be it. I capped it the best I could on the basis there would be no 'Superteam'.
If he joins the Lakers anyway and wants to immediately cede a streak of 8 Finals in a row(a remarkable achievement in any realm of sports) that's on him. It's irrational and insane. But if it truly IS about 'family' the only aspect of the bet I didn't believe Lebron and his camp would value THIS much, than that's the path he chose.
Let's not forget Lonzo's torn meniscus. So you'd be heading to a team with a somewhat gimpy PG too and no PG. That's quite a downgrade in PG's!

So I know you guys have being panning FOX coverage and here's some more.
On the Spain handball which lead to Russia's Penalty Kick, Fox SUPER SLOW MO's the header (in an effort to justify in every which way this was legitimate).
On the corner kick in extra time where not one but TWO Spain players were pulled down by their jersey's, Fox, after the game, goes straight to the ref reviewing the call and says 'They play on!" and a 'pundit' says "And rightfully so!"...and wait for it...
They didn't even SHOW the close-up of the not one BUT TWO potential fouls which would have also lead to a PK for Spain.
Again, FOX didn't even SHOW the fouls close-up post-game (to justify the Russia win without controversy)....
I'm watching the ref as he's reviewing the call and thinking, "This is BIGGER than overturning Franco Harris' Immaculate Reception (a call they could have overturned). There is ZERO chance this leads to a PK."
