LeBron James 2018-2019 Los Angeles Lakers Proposition Betting Odds
–LeBron James declined a $35.6 million contract option for next season with Cleveland to become a free agent.
–On July 1, LeBron’s management announced that he would sign a four-year, $154 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers.
–The Lakers are now a serious threat in the Western Conference.
LeBron James’ decision to sign a four year, $154 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers is undoubtedly the biggest sports story of the Summer in the United States. In the rest of the world, it is likely the ‘runner up’ story behind the 2018 World Cup but still a huge deal. Although LeBron was expected to decline his $35.6 million contract option for next season with Cleveland the situation moved very fast when it actually occurred. Most observers expected LeBron to take some time and weigh his options after the NBA Free Agent Signing Period began on July 1 but that wasn’t the case. Before the end of the day, the LeBron to Los Angeles deal was announce and sent shock wave across the league even though the Lakers were considered the most likely destination.
The LeBron-to-Los Angeles story has an even greater magnitude due to its timing. This is traditionally the slowest time of the year for North American sports and the World Cup really doesn’t change that. Things will start to pick up later in the month when NFL training camps start to open but with little else to talk about you can expect the US sports media to keep LeBron front and center for the next several weeks. The Lakers aren’t done dealing and the task at hand now is to assemble a team around their newly signed superstar.
With attention now turning to how LeBron will fare with his new team it seemed like a good idea to come up with some numbers for various scenarios. This will be the first of several ‘LeBron in L.A.’ odds articles in the next couple of weeks. In this post, we’ll look at how LeBron’s Lakers will fare during the 2018-2019 season. In addition, we’ve got odds on LeBron’s statistical performance in his first regular season game wearing the purple and gold:
