CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Talking to myself about why LeBron James joined the Los Angeles Lakers:
Q: Do you think LeBron believes he has a better chance to win a title in Los Angeles this season than if he had stayed in Cleveland?
A: No.
Q: No?
A: No. Even if the Lakers somehow find a way to trade for Kwahi Leonard, I doubt they'll win the Western Conference. Golden State remains the biggest mountain to climb. But Houston also is a huge obstacle.
