Page 10 July 17, 2014 TORRANCE TRIBUNE LeBron James from page 6 is bigger than basketball,” James stated in the Sports Illustrated article that explained his newest decision to return back home. “I didn’t realize that four years ago. I do now.” So all is forgiven now, right? Well sure, if you’re from Cleveland or you’re a LeBron James fan. But James just did what he previously did in Cleveland to Miami. After being unable to win a championship, he left Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade high and dry in South Beach to join younger, more explosive talent back home. Overnight, the Heat’s odds of winning a championship dropped to 50-to-1 as Pat Riley and head coach Erik Spoelstra twisted and turned in their beds at night, wondering what they could possibly do next. Not only the Heat feel the burn, though. There are rumors of Kevin Love’s imminent arrival in Cleveland to play alongside James, thus creating a super team on the Cavs, once again shifting power significantly in the Eastern Conference. Other teams with significant cap space and room to make moves this offseason were sent scrambling to try to attain players like Eric Bledsoe or Greg Monroe whose price tags are now clearly too exorbitant because without James on the market, they are the last remaining sliver of talent available. We recently saw how that worked out for the Lakers. Jeremy Lin, Nick Young and Jordan Hill will hardly make an impact on the team this year. Now, having spent all of his money on non-championship talent like the names listed above, Mitch Kupchak and the Lakers are once again handcuffed and destined for another not so great year. For most people, all is well in the basketball world again. James is back home where he belongs and is already making an impact on Cleveland in more ways than one. For others, James was too worried about his legacy and how he would look in the eyes of the public and did what was most politically correct by teaming up with more great talent in search of another ring. Although basketball is not what it used to be, James certainly has a flair for the dramatic and knows how to make things interesting. Next year’s basketball market will certainly be different than the one before it, with a crop of new teams rising toward the top while those who were at the top may now find themselves sinking down toward the bottom. The only constant that may be most noticeable is the Lakers. They just don’t seem to be going anywhere. • Police Reports from page 3 Theft 7/3/2014 10:00:00 AM 200 BLOCK VIA ANITA Suspect(s) takes unattended property from victim’s driveway/ briefcase, laptop, cash, passport, flash drives Battery-Simple 7/3/2014 11:00:00 AM 1900 BLOCK 233RD ST Suspect shoves victim who then loses his balance and falls, fracturing a rib Burglary-Auto 7/3/2014 7:00:00 AM 2800 BLOCK PACIFIC COAST HWY Suspect(s) enters unlocked vehicle and takes property/purse Vandalism 7/3/2014 9:30:00 AM 200 BLOCK VIA BUENA VENTURA Suspect(s) smashes victim’s vehicle’s window/ no entry, no loss Auto Theft 7/2/2014 12:30:00 PM 22100 BLOCK HAWTHORNE BLVD Stolen vehicle: ‘90 Honda Civic Burglary-Auto 7/2/2014 12:13:29 PM 21000 BLOCK HAWTHORNE BLVD Suspect(s) attempts to defeat vehicle door handle/ no entry, no loss Burglary-Auto 7/2/2014 2:00:00 PM 2600 BLOCK PACIFIC COAST HWY Suspect(s) pries door for entry and takes property/ wallet, hair clippers, tennis shoes Burglary-Residential 7/2/2014 1:49:07 PM 2200 BLOCK 235TH ST Suspect(s) cuts screen, enters unlocked window, ransacks and takes property/ watch, game console, camera, camera lens, laptops, tablet, jewelry, cash, pillowcase Auto Theft 7/1/2014 5:06 PM 23000 BLOCK ARLINGTON AVE Stolen vehicle: ‘96 Honda Civic Vandalism 7/1/2014 5:00:00 PM 21700 BLOCK HAWTHORNE BLVD Suspect(s) scratches victim’s vehicle’s paint Burglary-Auto 7/1/2014 10:07:00 AM 4200 BLOCK REDONDO BEACH BLVD Suspect(s) smashes window for entry and takes property/purse Theft 7/6/2014 7:15:00 AM 3600 BLOCK FASHION WAY Suspect(s) cuts cage lock and takes prop-erty/ bicycles Burglary-Auto 7/1/2014 5:17:05 AM 2400 BLOCK 205TH ST Suspect(s) takes property off of vehicle and siphons gasoline from two other vehicles’ fuel tanks/ rims, tires Auto Theft 7/1/2014 8:30:00 AM 23500 BLOCK HAWTHORNE BLVD Stolen vehicle: ‘15 Chevrolet P/U • C E R T I F I E D A N D L I C E N S E D P R O F E S S I O N A L S painting PAINTERS PLUS INTERIOR • EXTERIOR PLUS IMPROVEMENTS • REPAIRS FREE ESTIMATES LOWEST PRICES • GUARANTEED QUALITY 5 YEAR FREE MAINTENANCE SERVING THE BEACH CITIES FOR OVER 20 YEARS CALL DON 310-798-0450 LIC # 726089 handyman BILL’S HOME & APARTMENT MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR QUALITY at Handyman Prices.
