Well we already know he's an idiot. Not a huge jump to conclude he's selfish either.

They are close friends and LeBron wants to play with a top flight point guard again like he did with Kyrie.

Can't wait to see who will win the NBA championship next year. Golden State again or whatever super team Lebron forms. :rolleyes:

The premise of that statement is incorrect when you consider that LeBron in no way wanted GM David Griffin fired last summer, and yet Dan Gilbert stupidly fired him (or "did not renew his contract") anyway.

Could OKC shit-can Carmelo Anthony and draw Lebron there to play with Westbrook and Paul George?

MarkDavis'Haircut 06-09-2018 04:39 PM

LeBron was smart with his team construction. He made the team weak enough that if they won, he would earn all the accolades and if they lose, he would still be seen as a hero for carrying the team so far. And the media helped with the narrative.

There is absolutely no way LeBroom and Westbrook could co-exist.

LeBroom's need to be superstar, coach, GM, President and local deity of whatever franchise he's a part of has reduced his career to a bunch of statistical garbage instead of championships.

He's done winning titles, because his physical decline is about to hit, and then his ball-hogging is going to be a lot less effective.

About to hit? LMAO

His physical decline hit about four years ago now. He's still the best player in the league by leaps and miles because his mind/mentality/aptitude for the game is better than it has ever been.

Well he just wasn't good enough to beat the Western Conference All-Star team.

Titty Meat 06-09-2018 06:10 PM

LeBron only left for Miami because of his connections with Wade and Miamis good front office. Similar situation in Houston.

I don't doubt that it might happen. But if he had any common sense he'd realize how absolutely stupid an idea it would be to play next to harden. It would be one of the single worst teammates he could play with. It would be kyrie Irving on steroids

staylor26 06-09-2018 10:25 PM

My guess is Lebron will be going to San Antonio

Okc can't do anything to melo. They owe him 27mil next year and unless he agrees to a significant buy out, he'll be on the team next year.

That is one of the last places I'd peg him as going to

That's exactly what he needs.

A coach who can be a true alpha that will prevent him from trying to run The LeBron Show 24/7.

Going to LA with Paul George and CP3

Would LA keep the current cast of guys? If so your scenario makes them the best option.

Possibly. He is in his last year of his fully guaranteed contract which is his option year worth $27 million. He is not going to get anywhere close to that as a FA so most people think he will exercise it.

The Banana boat team could happen though if he opts out.

mcaj22 06-10-2018 07:25 AM

yea the bananna boat crew could assemble but it requies Melo and CP3 giving up a lot of money. (unless they assemble in Houston and CP3 still signs his supermax). But Houston would have to give up everyone to field a CP3, Harden, Wade, Melo, Lebron team. Dont think its possible there. They could all meet up in LA with PG but then Lonzo is the odd man out (which would be reallllllly funny)

SAUTO 06-10-2018 09:14 AM

Lonzo will be part of the trade for LeBron.

BigCatDaddy 06-10-2018 09:31 AM

Not sure about the CP/Lebitch combo. Both guys turn 34 next season. CP already injury prone and Lebitch is 6'8 250 lb PG with a lot of miles on the spedometer. Seems like that could fall apart quick. I would hitch my wagon to Harden if I were these 2.

Skyy God 06-10-2018 12:17 PM

LeBrom to the Celtics?

F yeah.

Why would cp3 leave Houston and harden when they nearly took out gs?

Because they didn't take out Golden State and he is running out of time...

So it is the Rockets fault CP3 got hurt?

I’ll just leave this here . . . . .
