Welp. The sports experts tried to tell y'all. Now it's official. Deets on LeBron James signing with the Lakers inside...
L.A., get the welcome wagon ready. LeBron James is sliding in to be your new hometown hero. After 3 seasons with the Cavs, the 3-time NBA champ is taking his talents to the west coast as he reportedly just signed a 4-year, $154 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Western Conference just got interesting. Houston's definitely expected to give the Warriors a run for their money again, and now Lebron may have just put the Lakers back in the Conference championship mix. Plus, he's battling his bestie Dwyane Wade again in the same conference.
Yahoo Sports reports the deal mainly happened with L.A. as opposed to any other team because "the Lakers had a large amount of cap space to work with." Plus, we all know Bron is ready to be back on a MAJOR flashing-lights-style platform again, especially one smack in the middle of the television and movie world, a place Bron has been flexing his Executive Producer skills often. He's also probably ready to put his losses with the Cavs behind him.
It'll be interesting to see how Lonzo Ball (and his helicopter dad Lamar) handles this news.
James will make $25.65 million next season. Here's the rest of his contract break down:
Here is the breakdown for the LeBron James contract with the Los Angeles Lakers: $35.65M, $37.43M, $39.21M and $41M. He is not eligible for a no trade clause. https://t.co/mA0GyBP4xc

He's currently on vacay with his queen Savannah James and the kiddies in a $75K/week GORGEOUS vacay pad in Anguilla. But he found time to thank his home of Ohio for the memories (Swipe):
Are y'all here for this?!
