Kevin Love OUT of Cleveland

Retaining key players starts from the top. Both the Cavs & Browns have Owners who are passionate about winning. They have hired GOOD people & GOOD players, who they are keeping.
Hmm, will Larry Dolan learn anything from these two guys?

Fortunately- few very few commentators (Freddie Coleman,ESPN) dare to say the Lakers and Celtics aren't exactly destination franchises anymore.
The young bucks are too young to mostly remember when they were the top of the heap.

All they want to talk about are the Lakers and the Knicks. Get a clue ESPN, they suck and will continue to suck for the forseeable future. Right now the Cavs are on top....talk about them.....or talk about upcoming teams like the Bucks, T-Wolves, Pelicans.

Now that LeBron has signed, does that mean Thompson is going to get less?
I can't see giving him max money for being a non-starter.
Seems like the NBA is 3 big time players and a bunch of role players.
You don't pay role players $15 million.
The role players change every year and get paid way less then Thompson wants

The Thompson question is a good one and it will be interesting to see how it plays out. With some big names Celtics, Lakers, Mavericks and Knicks not making a huge splash someone may over pay.

FWIW, I see two jerseys being worn over here - Lakers and Heat. A good 95% at least of people wearing NBA jerseys are wearing one of them.

So? You got a whole Island full of FRAKs? I suppose you see all Patriots and Seahawks jerseys as well.

The point was in response to it being said that young people don't see the lakers as a big team/desirable destination. If the fans here are FRAKs, that would seem to indicate the contrary.

Old habits die hard. For 40 years they were on top. People invested in that stuff when the Lakers were on top.....they just want to get a return on their investment.
Tell us in another year or two of Laker suckage if it it still the case.
You will probably start seeing more Warriors jerseys....or, even Cavs now that LeBron is back in the fold.

Well, it's mostly young people, about 12-15 or so, that are wearing them, so...

The stores over there probably only sell the gear of those teams. I have been to place here that have been somewhat "remote" in that they were not near a town that had a team.....and if you go into a store in those places you can only find the gear of maybe 3-4 teams.
See....what happened is that here, nobody is buying that Laker crap any more.....because the Lakers are crap....so they have shipped all that surplus inventory over to you.

Sorry Gip the Lakers won back to back championships in 2009 & 2010, they are far from irrelevant

Winning in those years is no more relevent now than the Chicago Stags win in 1947.
But, here is an interesting stat.....of the teams that won the first 12 NBA title only the Boston Celtics are currently in the same city with the same name. The rest are elsewhere or defunct:
Chicago Stags.....defunct
Original Baltimore Bullets....defunct (the Baltimore Bullets that became the Washington Wizards were the 2d franchise by that name)
Minneapolis Lakers ....now LA Lakers
Rochester Royals....now Sacramento Kings
Syracuse Nationals....now Philadelphia 76ers
Philadelphia Warriors....now Golden State Warriors
St. Louis Hawks....now Atlanta Hawks

The Browns Championships I recount as part of history.....same as Lakers titles. Not as an aspect of current relevency.
Who is likely to win a title next year.....that is what is relevent.
For young FRAKasses in the UK, they want the very current relevent, winning teams to glom onto. The Lakers are not that. The Warriors, Cavs, maybe Rockets and Hawks are.
