Golden State Warriors 2017-2018

Any chance he stays in Cleveland? They’ll be able to pay him more than any other team I think.

Philly makes sense from a basketball and cap perspective but not much else.

Lakers puts him in a worse position than he was on the Cavs, with minimal help.

What about the crazy talk like Lebron to Warriors/Celtics/Rockets/Spurs?

I don't think there are really too many options out there....

Philly? Could make sense, assuming he can play well with Simmons. They are definitely an up and coming team. Boston? No way. Boston doesn't want it, Kyrie doesn't want it, and that would really tarnish his legacy because of the bad blood between those two teams.

LA? You're rebuilding.. and unless there's some miracle like Miami pulled off with their recruitment during that off season when they picked up Lebron, then it's probably not going to happen.

Warriors? Nah. Spurs? He wants to play for Pop, but I don't think so. Rockets? Harden / James would be interesting to watch, but I'm not sure how well that experiment would work. CP3 is good, but an injury liability.

He wants to win, but he won't go just anywhere... Needs to be somewhere that there's a MUCH better situation than what he has right now in Cleveland... and if Cleveland wheels and deals in the offseason and brings in some more faces, he may just stay there. A big factor apparently is what his kids and family do. Last time he moved, the kids were much younger... Now you're at the point where Jr. is about to be in high school and so on. What the family wants to do might become more important than anything else.

Silly season begins, I guess.
 
Fuck it. Go to GSW, go 82-0, average 25 assists per game, and run the table in the playoffs.
 
As much as I admire Lebron's skill and work ethic, does he really make his teammates better? Which is usually the barometer of a great athlete. I don't feel he does.

Any team he goes to has their bench decimated to acquire him and just hope that he stays healthy and dominant. If he leaves Cleveland, they're a 30 win team for the next 5 years because the bench sucks due to the players they gave up mid season.

Also, he makes what $130+ million off the court? Why is he needing a super max deal? It's just idiotic to me. Do a Tom Brady, take less and surround yourself with all stars. He won't because of his ego. He'll take $35+ million per year which will kill the bench of any team he goes to.

The Warriors window realistically is closing after next season UNLESS Jordan Bell and Damian Jones become all star talent players and Cook stays and turns into a good point guard and 3pt shooter. Klay and Draymond are up over the next two seasons and Durant sounds like he will sign a monster deal this summer to stay. Can only spend so much. Warriors ownership is willing to go over cap into luxury tax BUT I don't think back to back years when the penalty is greater.
 
I could see the other way around. Kawhi is gonna sign a max, he won't leave $80M on the table. LeBron with Kawhi and LMA would be really, really good.
 
LeBRon to the Lakers because that is an iconic franchise and wants to live in LA. (Even though he really doesn’t. Don’t think he likes big cities)
 
Lebron wont go anywhere unless the ring can be had in the next year.

You never know, kyrie and lbj may eat their drama and bball together again on celtics, you never know.

I kinda thought it was a sneaky plan to get them together in Boston. They'd have to trade Gordon Hayword but Kyrie, Lebron, Tatum and draft picks? Yikes!
 
'cept for that whole thing about Kyrie wanting to get out from under LBJ's dominant shadow being one of the main reasons he left a really good situation in Cleveland.

that and with his lack of passion for defense, he would fit much better on philly imo
 
The problem with LBJ is that he really is no longer a team player in a team sport. Who wants to be relegated to dumb stooge like we have seen this year.

And as pointed out, his defensive skills are when he feels like it.

IF I owned an NBA team, I'd have to think long and hard before hiring that guy NOW. He is a phenomenal athelete but the baggage is endless.

I got really busy this weekend and never was able to chime in about win.

That post-game scene with the cast on his hand, OMG. It's always about him, isn't it? Such BS. Now we know why he didnt win. And all that hand-shaking and playing through the other games with a "broken" hand (or was it a contusion)?

it's embarassing but I don;t think he sees it that way.
 
LBJ spends $1.5M a year on maintaining his body. Punches a whiteboard after Game 1 loss, breaks hand...:laughing

Show me the X-ray.:laughing

I do think he might have hurt his hand in collision with Draymond in Game 4 though. But now we know why the Great Man did not triumph over the mere mortals.

It was a contusion. It was not broken.

SAME THING that happened to Klay's knee when JR tried to take him out.

I'd love to see Klay go to the parade with a soft cast on his leg, then bring it up during his time at the podium unprompted.

They aren't gonna have the podium thing this year but yes it would be funny. In black.

As for dancing on the grave: I came SO close to actually appreciating and respecting LeBron this year and he pulled that stunt to get all the attention. Just from an airwaves aspect: we are watching all the champagne, cigars, well-wishing on the post-game, then suddenly, NEWS FLASH LEBRON WAS PLAYING WITH BROKEN HAND THE WHOOOOOOOLE TIME followed by the news conference in which he himself draws attention to his cast.

He's still a great athlete, an unusual combo of talents, but the narcissism is just too much. My team of choice shows a different way to be a mega-star. LeBron brings back the METOO in METOO.
