What Will LeBron Do This Summer?

[TurnUpTheHeat]

A. Where did you hear that? Do you have a link? I haven't seen anyone report what his family wants. Only that Lebron says it will be part of his decision. Btw, you know they spend their summers in LA, right?

B. My post was responding to Mecca's post re: PG. The word out here is that if PG does what his family wants, he'll be coming to LA. He also has apparently formed a friendship with Westbrook. So, if he stays in OKC, it'll be because of his friendship with Westbrook and if he comes to LA, it'll be because of his family.

In fact, it's being reported that his decision will be made independent of what Lebron does (although I'm betting that joining Lebron on the Lakers would be fairly compelling lol).

Its also no big deal.
Wade’s kids lived in Miami the whole time he was with the Cavs.
Its not ‘ normal’ family life during the
season under any circumstance.

From what they're saying out here, if it's about his family wants, he'll be coming to LA.

His parents and his wife.

 

[Mecca]

No it is not, his kids want to stay here with their friends.

Paul George.

 

[Battlelyon]

So its pretty much now confirmed he’s joining the Heat, but his kids will continue to live in Ohio.

Since he is working out in Miami, he is going there?

Yeah, I have seen exactly the same.

I'm sure he will talk to LeBron, it's shortsighted not to.

I think George comes off the board first, based on past experiences with Lebron's free agencies.

But, maybe he surprises us this year?

Dumb comparison, Wade was invested in the Cavs for one season. Big difference.

 

[Battlelyon]

Paul George.

Ok, I thought he was talking LeBron my mistake.

1000%.

Agree and technically, he's surprised us each year, including Vegas.

When he went to Miami, most had him staying in Cleveland and when he went back to Cleveland, most had him staying in Miami.

Maybe this year he surprises us by being the first domino to fall? lol

 

[Mecca]

Ok, I thought he was talking LeBron my mistake.

Yeah, we are having at least 8 different arguments/conversations simultaneously...lol

1. Where will Bron go...

2. Where will George go....

3. Has Kawhi opened his mouth for more than food...

4. How long will it take the Cavs to recover...

5. Are the Sixers really in the mix...

6. Trading Randle...

7. CP-knee and his max deal

8. Maxing washed dudes * side eyes Shane *




Shit can get confusing.....lol

If all went well with Wade/Cavs why are you assuming he wouldn’t have returned there for another season?

Here’s the thing.
In a week, the dominos start to fall.
Nothing can possibly change or hasn’t been discussed between James and his family behind closed doors.
He knows exactly what hes going to do, as he did the other 2 times.
Of course he will drag it out, he loves the attention, but trust me, he knows what he’s doing.

 

[trojanfan12]

His parents and his wife.

Yeah, apparently there may be health issues with his Dad. I thought I heard that he is in a wheelchair or something.

I'm not 100% on that because it was the tail end of the comment I heard.

Yeah, George is a fickle Dude.

He changes his mind so much, I'm 50/50 on where he lands.

Do you remember his whole paternity saga?

He was dating Doc River's daughter when he had a fling with a stripper.

Got her pregnant, allegedly offered her 1 mil to terminate.

Of course she didn't, so he sued for full custody.

Now according to a few reports, they just had a 2nd child and she is his wife....lol

Things change quickly in Paul's world.

i dont know about that this time

the last two times i agree

right now there are so many balls n the air.

If kawhi gets to LA- then yah- he goes to La

if Kawhi doesnt get to La- and the Cavs trade for Kemba--- he prob stays in Cleveland

I really think right now he is torn. I think there is a better chance the Lakers get ONE of Kawhi, George or CP3 then the Cavs get Kemba-- so i think the Lakers are the slight favorites- but i think its down to those 2 teams and who they can get.

If the Cavs somehow pull off some blockbuster and the Lakers get no one- i think its an easy decision for LeBron- and of course vice-versa.

Its why i dont hink he has his mind made up yet. There are too many dominos yet to fall.

 

[tlance]

Actually, I'm not. I'm assuming that the Lakers won't overpay him.

Then he won't be a Laker.

Non-elite RFAs almost always get overpaid. It is a fact of life in the NBA.

Can you give me what scenario the Cavs can do to pull off a blockbuster?
I'm not sure what the value of Love is, or Sexton.
Who else or what else would anyone want that the Cavs posess?

I agree Khawi is an unknown, but you don't think James and George, CP3 and other FA's haven't talked?

On the Paul George front, OKC has all sorts of optimism about him returning. More importantly, there’s pessimism from the LeBron camp that he’s leaving Thunder


Sam Amick‏Verified account @sam_amick 15m15 minutes ago
As for Chris Paul, two sources refute notion that there’s tension between the two sides. Full expectation in Rockets circles that he remains

I definitely think they have talked but that does not necesarily mean they agreed, or even disagreed on anything.

So you really think all three of those guys KNOW what they are going to do come July 1st or whatever, and that the decision has already been made by all of them?

I mean- shit- i guess thats possible but it just doesnt seem like thats the case.

 

[WiggyRuss]

this is kinda crazy:

Jordan Zirm‏Verified account @clevezirm 9m9 minutes ago
man. Ryen Russilo on ESPN Radio this morning saying four teams “failed” MPJ and one team picking in the 20s said they wouldn’t touch him had he been there. yikes.

Im saying he knows WHAT he wants to do.
Of course that doesnt mean for sure what he wants will happen.

I know better then to believe all of the assumptions and tweets.

As a fan of the league, the next couple weeks will be fun to watch play out.
