CLEVELAND, Ohio -- LeBron James agreed to a four-year, $154 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, ending his second run as the face of his hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
James, born in Akron and drafted No. 1 by the Cavs in 2003, is leaving the Cavs for the second time in eight seasons. But this time, it's two-years removed from bringing the organization its first title.
James' agreement with the Lakers was announced through a simple press release sent by his agent, Rich Paul, which says James, a 14-time All-Star, three-time Finals MVP, and two-time Olympic gold medalist, was joining the Lakers.

POH.
Can’t wait for them to remove that building sized Christ-like picture of him sprawled against one of the buildings downtown. He’s a foul mouthed, ignorant racist and all I can say is get the hell out of town.
How this city fell down to worship this bum is beyond me.
No dramatic TV show for him to announce this? It was announced on a press release? No dramatic build up?
His ego took a massive hit when the Cavs went 0-4 in this year’s championship series.
Very telling isn’t it?
He is one of the most successful figures in sports. He’s charismatic, that’s why.
Who is the face of Cleveland sports now? Tito Francona? Francona won championships in Boston, but it looks like the Indians are cursed. Baker Mayfield?
” LeBron James leaves Cleveland again, agrees to join Los Angeles Lakers”
He just wants to Make more money so he can give more back to his long suffering hood rat compatriots.
You cared enough to post on the thread.
Can’t believe he would do this if he didn’t think someone else was coming.
This has been a done deal for the last year, IMO.
Everything else was just preening for the cameras.
Hey Cleveland. Your city’s better off without the guy.
Grown men who play the games of boys for a living.
How unimpressive.
I don’t care either, but I did care just enough to post in this thread to tell you that I don’t care.
Oh, and Jeff Sessions is putrid garbage.
and he’ll be surrounded by LESS talented hacks. He’s here in L.A. NOT to win rings but get into the movie business.
I have never seen as big a crybaby to the referees as Lebron...He whines and complains every time the ball goes down court...
..the desperation of the organization to win had them crawling to the likes of Dwight Howard. And now this. Lakers have no shame. NBA BLM comes to LA...
The Sixers dodged a bullet.
Magic will regret this. James is very talented at playing with his balls but he’s an ignorant pissant 24 hours a day
I wish I could even comment, but I have literally never even seen him play.
I don’t think I have seen a game of basketball since the time when Jordan played.
