LEBRON JAMES JOINS THE LAKERS???

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Ok, so everyone knows I write a LOS ANGELES LAKERS blog and my inbox is full of people asking me to comment on Lebron James becoming a LAKER.  As I mentioned in Facebook posts recently and talked s**t during his failure in the 2018  NBA finals, I was never a big fan of James and his style of play.  I love finesse players who are not necessarily physically imposing but incredibly skilled like Kobe,

Michael Jordan,

"Pistol" Pete Maravich,

Earl "The Pearl" Monroe

and of course ... the great Dr. J. 

Those are my kind of players.  

BLIND DOG OZZY:  James commits a charging foul every time he goes to the basket, takes 10 steps, doesn't get called for anything ( what they call in the NBA, All Star privilege) and then he complains he got fouled! 

 "BLUE" JIMMY:  I've never been a fan of bullies but then I thought the exact same thing about Shaq.  He would back his big ass into the basket every play and then elbow and stay in the key for 10 seconds and then dunk. 

But then he did lead THE LAKERS to 3 NBA Championships in-a-row so ... what are you gonna say? 

I just hope James came to THE LAKERS with the intent of using all these excellent young players they already have and not using his fame and influence to clear out THE LAKERS roster and pick his own team (and coach!).  And as far as the other signings over the past week: Rajon Rondo; Lance Stephenson; JaVale McGee ...

BLIND DOG OZZY:   ... Who are these guys?  When are THE LAKERS gonna sign someone who can shoot a basketball?

"BLUE" JIMMY:  As statistically excellent as James is, I hope he realizes that THE LAKERS were legendary before he got here and they will be great long after he retires.  Unlike Miami or Cleveland, we don't rely on him to secure a spot in pro sports history.  LAKERS fans expect nothing short of CHAMPIONSHIPS on a regular basis. 

This is not Little League sports. THE LAKERS don't give out little juice bags of Capri Sun, ribbons and high fives just for participating.

BLIND DOG OZZY:  James, when you left Cleveland you done jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire!

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Sake's Alive!  

BLIND DOG OZZY:  Wow!  Wow!

LAKERS MAKE THEIR MOVE!!! FEB. 2018

"BLUE" JIMMY:  The LAKER world is ablaze with today's trade that sent one of the NBA's best sixth men (Jordan Clarkson) and solid power forward (Larry Nance Jr.) to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye and a 1st round draft pick.  I'm taking an outsider's view of this trade rather than a LAKERS insider view and it's pretty strange ...

BLIND DOG OZZY:  !!!

"BLUE" JIMMY:  First of all, no one seems to be excited about the fact that THE LAKERS  are acquiring the league's third-leading scorer last season (Thomas) who at 28.9 points per game last season was scoring Kobe-in-his-prime-like points.  LAKERS commentators seem to think the best thing about this trade is that it opens up payroll for THE LAKERS to pursue big-name players this Summer.

BLIND DOG OZZY:  Before everyone pees themselves, LEBRON JAMES IS NOT COMING TO THE LAKERS!!!

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Lebron James is not a LAKERS fan, has never expressed any desire to become a LAKER and if THE LAKERS keep Isaiah Thomas next season, James is not likely coming into the same dysfunctional scenario (with Thomas) that put the Cavaliers into a funk this year.  I like Thomas and his style of play.  I hope he can become an All-Star with THE LAKERS.  But as a LAKERS consultant, I advise them to develop the young, talented players they have and not try to buy a quick-fix and sacrifice their rising stars to acquire former All-Stars and aging veterans or they'll end up with another Dwight Howard/Steve Nash screw up ...

BLIND DOG OZZY: ... Not that s**t again!

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Sake's Alive!

BLIND DOG OZZY:  Wow!  Wow!
