Soooo.... Where does Le3-5 collude to next year?

[DorianRo]

Houston with Harden? GS with Durant/Curry? San Antonio with Leonard??

Definitely Golden State. Everyone knows it.

Just kidding. Wherever Derek Rose ends up, LeBron will be smart to follow if he wants to win another ring.

Cavs only missing D. I say bring Thibs in with a blank check. Offensively the are fine

Agree they need to be much better defensively. And Thibs would be an improvement over Lue. But defense is partly about effort (which explains why Kyrie and Durant went from bad/ok defenders to good/DPOY candidate level. The Cavs think they can just turn on the D in the playoffs, and they did last year, but I don't know...

Thibs and LeBron would not get a long, although it would be funny to see LeBron play for yet another different coach at Cleveland.

I am hoping he goes to Golden State just to have these super teams continue to mock the NBA.

Any idea how the salary cap works?

 

[Bolts]

Sacramento with Fox/Bogdan for sure.

 

[Scapegoat]

He'll go to OKC this season in a trade for PG13

 

[LogicMan]

I am thinking San Antonio, Sixers, Lakers

 

[thunderc]

Doesn’t matter, his time has passed.

This is true,

But because of Golden State. Not because of LeBron. He is still plenty good enough to be the best player on a championship team. The Warriors have simply closed a lot of windows, including LeBron's barring something unforeseen in free agency or trade.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

IF lebron leaves Cleveland it will be for one of these reasons:

1. To win a championship
2. To get the most money
3. To further his career when his playing days are over.

Not saying it'll happen but the Lakers can offer 2 out of 3.

Still think he stays in Ohio

2 is irrelevant.

30 out of 30 teams would offer him a max for as long as he wants it if they could create the cap space.

It is more about whether he would consider signing for less to play for a legit challenger. Up until now, he has not been willing to.

So money DOES play a factor. And only around 4 or 5 teams can offer him a max contract.

See my previous post.

If you can't beat 'em...join 'em.

Worked for KD.

Right now.

Most could make a move or two to dump salary. The real issue is that only a very select few would have the necessary pieces to make themselves attractive to LeBron.

Thibs? C0medy g0ld.

They'd be whining ab0ut him after the introduction.
