Seriously, I would not like that quick fix on a player that is at the end. Lakers have been down that road before with GP, Malone, and Nash. Yeah, but unlike those guys, LeBron is still playing at a very high level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he’s on the back end of his career, like Tom Brady, but he has at least 2 more years of greatness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 LeBron is an alien. If he wants to come to your team, you throw a parade in gratitude. That applies to every team in the NBA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Nothing lasts forever. People constantly make Sticks' dad, Kareem, etc comparisons. Going on 15 years of supersonic freight train basketball will leave it's mark somewhere. No amount of sport science and fancy kimchi will ever beat that. Just delay the inevitable, making the fall more sudden and tragic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I’m biased, but the best fit for LeBron would be Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predicto Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Lebron may not have that many years left, but he is not "on the downside" in terms of performance. The guy continues to play at a superhuman level. With that said, I doubt he has any interest in going to the Lakers and holding the hands of that green and mismatched roster. He wants more rings before he retires, and that is not the way to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBron is closer to retiring than most of you probably know. LeBron is only interested to play in LA for LA pay. Lakers are not as good as they play and not as bad. I know you see that. My point is simply... I would rather them do it without him. Add him... as GS has with KD... ( I understand he is still in his prime)... but I want what you had before KD.

True, but Simmons is just unreal with the rock. Lebron is the Sun, and everyone else is tidally locked in his orbit. How's that gonna work with two-three young talents with little on their resume, and the best player of this generation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Where does LeBron go next though? That's the real question for me, not how long he can keep doing it. Does he pull people to Cleveland? How do he and Chris Paul team up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think it's actually a realistic scenario. I think the Clippers and Houston are the other two places that could make it happen if he decides to leave Cleveland. Or I could see him pulling CP3 to Cleveland. Kevin Love for CP3 + Capela, does Houston say yes? But other than him coming to DC, the scenario I like the best is Boston trading Gordon Hayward for him. Then Kyrie leaves when his contract is up and goes to San Antonio, only to have LeBron follow him there too. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I think when you factor in not playing in college, and apparently thinking he's a better coach then every coach he's had (he's probably right, honestly), he probably yearns to play for a through and through basketball man. He leaves the East to the young talents, and goes to the land of the giants, teaming with Kawhi and CP3. Pop and co. throw all their chips to the center of the table, and resign themselves to one thing, beating GS at all costs, abandoning their fancy aura of self made purity. Also, I thought of it because it sounded like the stupidest of possibilities, until I started to make sense of it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather trade Green and Keep bell and Klay How can you be a Warriors fan and not understand how important Draymond is for this team? Klay is awesome and i love the guy, but we can get other 3 and D guys. They aren't as good bu they will serve well enough. The overall quality of the team wouldn't change. But there isn't another Draymond out there. The Dubs switching defense hinges on the quality of his perfect anticipation and decision making, and all of the other players benefit from his help defense, which is the best I have ever seen, from any player, ever. And he leads the best passing team ni NBA history in assists, every single year. Seriously, put down the pipe. Draymond is the heart of the team.
