What's next, you gonna Rickroll her?

I feel like I should know what that is, even though I don't.

On the other hand, I feel like I probably don't want to know. lol

Congrats man, he is most likely a Sixer and you will pair him with either another FA or that draft pick. Gonna be loaded

Old school trolling. Google it, actually kind of funny but got stale around 1998 just like Montalban.

I mean there aren’t many better options than Philly. They already have cap space to sign him and assets to trade. Cleveland can’t really persuade him, I mean it is his HOME but he want to legitmately compete for a championship unless they make a crazy drastic trade I don’t see that happening. So other than Philly we have:

LA - I highly doubt he goes there
Houston - possibly but not sure the fit is there.
A young bottom feeder team - no.

It’s Cleveland or Philly or a dark horse Houston team...

I hope so----- but ughhh Cavs looked like shit

LeBron looked gassed at times didnt he?

I really thought the Cavs might ahve a chance to take that one yesterday but it was not to be.

They definitely had their chances, but they (specifically Lebron) didn't look like they could find the energy to take advantage.

 

[trojanfan12]

I don't think ANYONE expected to see the Raps even compete in that series outside of MAYBE a couple of Toronto fans...

Actually, a few picked the Raptors. I didn't, but still felt it would go 6.

It reminds of his first stint where he had to carry the team on his back or they were an average at best. He is just exhausted, not even physically but knowing he doesn’t have enough help to beat a Houston or GS team, why make it to the Finals? Like if you make it at least you have shot, but do the Cavs really have a shot? The C’s are a very talented young team but they aren’t the Rockets or Warriors who have multiple stars and/or more depth.

There is either a big sign and trade happening and a lot of moves on this Cavs team or he is gone. I just have no clue where he would go.

Philly. Maybe, I don’t think it is a great fit.
Lakers. Nah. Why would he go out west.
Houston. Maybe, I don’t think it is a great fit either.
New Orleans. It’s the best fit for him. They would have to clear over $25. They could with Hill and Mirotic

He needs to recruit a star in a sign and trade if he stays in Cleveland.

Exactly who are the Cavs going to get in a sign and trade? They have Kevin Love, the 8th pick and some bad contracts.

The 8th pick isn't bad, but it's not getting you a star, even if it's paired with Love. And if it is paired with Love, the Cavs are in essentially the same situation they are now...not having enough to get out of the East vs. a healthy Sixers and Celtics, let alone enough to beat the Warriors or Rockets.

LOL. Now THAT'S some tea leaf reading.

In all seriousness, I really don't know if I want Lebron in Philly or not. He's an amazing player and would almost guarantee a NBA finals next year. But I would really need to know how he and Ben would work together.

Having said that, Lebron and Simmons have a personal relationship so I would imagine that if Lebron wants to come to Philly, he and Ben have already figured out how they would make that work.

You don't know if you want LeBron in the land of cheese steaks? Let me decide for you. I don't want LeBron in Philly so let's hope he doesn't end up there.

id take the 8th pick in this draft over Ball or Ingram in a second.

David Griffin, David Griffen. Did you spell David Grifon's name right?

I don’t like the fit of Lebron and Simmons either honestly unless Simmons learns how to shoot lol

lol

When he walked off the court after a game in Staples he made an L sign that people said meant he was impressed with Lonzo and was going to the Lakers.

I mean I will say the 8th pick in THIS draft is still very very valuable. A very deep draft.

If Lebron comes to Philly I'm sure I'll be ecstatic about it. But I do have some concerns.

He has to learn to shoot either way. I'm honestly not sure how much his lack of shooting really is a problem when it comes to Lebron though.
