I am not surprised. Logistically it makes more sense that he is in LA where is dad plays and family lives. Plus, Altman seems to struggle on different levels with elite talent...and make no mistake, James will HAVE TO START and play mega minutes...Altman can barely manage playing time and a roster of "normal players" let alone having a celebrity of sorts on the the team.
Plus the media frenzy and circus for EVERY GAME and when LeBron attends games would be out of Altman's comfort and manageability range in my opinion.

Yeah, That's the last thing we need is THAT circus.
This is good news.

This is great news! As I mentioned in an earlier post, landing Bronny James would absolutely ruin the Ducks. With Bronny on the floor and dad in the stands, all eyes would be on Coach Altman. Would he pull Bronny from the game if he had a turnover or missed a shot or rebound? He did that with Kel'el Ware. Altman and the Ducks have had enough problems these past few years. No sense in adding to it. Let USC have him. Having N'Faly Dante returning plus Will Richardson graduating is a win-win for Oregon.

Not to mention SUC will be in the BIG10 next season so we will be able to skip the circus all together!!
