All of this makes sense, however, LBJ doesn't like to play within a "system" - so do they really stand a chance landing him?

I think it depends on the system. The Lakers system, like the Warriors, is based on sharing the ball and not being overly dependent on 1 player.

From what we've all read and heard, Lebron has been looking to lighten his load since at least year 3 in Miami.

Why wouldn't a system that is designed to lighten everyone's load and is based on sharing the ball (which Lebron prefers to do appeal to him?

Also, as Phil Jackson (who Luke played for and who first mentored him in coaching) used to say, you let a superstar operate outside the system when necessary. So, Lebron would play within the system but have the freedom to play outside of it when necessary.

Gay would start and be a homeless man's version of Leonard.......but they could beat any playoff team, except GS and Houston IMO. GS and Harden, CP, and co are too much IMO. The reason being Pop is their HC and he's the reason I'd take them over OKC and Minny, plus the rest of the WC (minus GS and Houston of course).

Spurs aren't beating Minnesota or OKC without Kawhi. Pop's a good coach, but you make it sound like he makes it to the Finals every year. You do realize that a few years ago they actually lost to the Clippers in the first round, don't you?

Pop is a better coach than Donovan......and I'd take Pop with a gun to my head over Thibs......

I'd take Pop over any coach in the league right now. In the NBA, you need horses though, and Pop doesn't have them this year.
