Reporting for ESPN NBA Countdown on the next steps in LeBron James' Lakers season debut process:

Get this bum and his son off my team

Time is ticking..

Who cares when he returns. The league is so much better without him. And the Lakers are winning without him. This sounded like a Rich Paul skit. The LeBron camp has noticed no one has been talking about him, so here we are.

Lebun about to ruin the league again

Lakers are better without him btw

Can we admit we dgaf abt Bron anymore, I dont need a breaking news notification every time bro breathes, just tell me when he retires

All the fun the lakers are having will be over soon. LeBron ruins the team

Lakers, after tonights game, go on a 5 game roadtrip and they play at home again on the 18th of November. Thats around the target date it was said for his return a couple of weeks ago. They were targeting mid November. Probable return should be: 18th Novemever vs Utah Jazz.

Lakers are going to win it all. LeBron will win the MVP & FMVP. Keep the receipt.

NBA is good without LeBron TBH. There’s tons of young hungry superstars who are putting out a good product. The lakers are winning better without him than with him.

The King’s return is imminent ✊🏽

LeBron’s still chasing headlines while the Lakers chase consistency. Every year it’s “the comeback,” but when the lights hit, the excuses follow. Let’s see if this season is any different.

MJ would never take time off for any reason. This is why he will always be the real GOAT.

2 @KlutchSports employees lying they ass off for @KingJames

OMG DEMON BACK🔜

Downfall of the Lakers

Yup this makes sense watch bitch made NPCs still find a way to hate tho lmfao

YAWN 🥱

My sources are telling me he's OLD..

Nobody cares

Damn, forgot he wasn't playing. The league is in a good place.

Shams working his way up. Previously manipulated lines for FanDuel with his BS shit like scoot #2 pick over miller and now voice box for Klutch and lebron on their payroll.

I kept receipts ❗️

Nobody cares. Trade him please.

The GOAT is coming back soon! It’s over for the league

Slow day at the office….?

Lmfao making it seem like some grand entrance to a regular season game. My prediction is when the lakers start sinking when he’s back in the lineup they’ll start booing him.

what a weird segment, noone cares they're winning without him

Dude just needs to retire

He’s back real soon 👑

The lakers probably hope LeBron returns later

Too bad Yall being shady and removed espn from YouTube

Lakers gonna be good man
