[Mecca of the “B” Team]

And this logic is coming from a Warriors fan.....consider the importance of that, folks.

Ask him if he thinks someone will take Deng's contract without you giving up Ball or Ingram...Lmfao

 

[msgkings322]

Yes.....because Ingram, Ball, and the others would be 2 years improved from maturation and having been mentored by The King.

Plus they will also have Paul George still

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

LOL

Who would we trade to the Cipps to get him?

He's a free agent.

 

[msgkings322]

Hmmmm...

Fair enough.

If he can play at this level for the next 3 years, yeah...

You are correct.

If it were almost anyone else you'd have to wonder. But LeBron is a unique talent, having his best season at age 33...plus, it's not just him. This only works if another big star is with him (probably PG).

LeBron/PG/Ingram/Ball/Kuzma + bench is an easy WCF team, and maybe beats the Ws

How do you see them getting the space for two max deals?

I gotta say, I thought Pincus was insane with his extension idea.

But, it's actually pretty ingenious.

Adding more years. But, no extra money...

Wonder if Dengs ego would go for it.

Athletes aren't the best at saving.

So, 4 mil a year for 7 years might be attractive.

 

[DJ Fieri]

DJ, nobody is taking that contract without you adding Lonzo or Ingram.

No matter how many times you say it, I'm not buying it.

Deng is completely cooked.

Come Summertime, one of us will be using your favorite saying...

#TimeVindicates

It's otay. I won't stop oving you.

LeBron would take a little less (in my opinion) to win more rings. PG might too.

Would be interesting.

But, I don't see LeBron putting himself in the Warriors nor Rockets path before the Finals.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Logic doesn't depend on what team you root for. 2+2 = 4 even for Ws fans.

It was a back handed compiment.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Damn keys aren't working.

Fucking laptop.

Uh...not according to LeBron.

No discounts....he's been pretty clear on that.

Report: LeBron James won’t take discount from max salary

Fact is no one has any idea what's going to happen this offseason. I suspect LeBron doesn't really know either. But LeBron and PG to the Lakers is very reasonable and for Lakers fans that want titles would be a very positive thing.

Everything is negotiable, depends on if he wants $ or rings more. You may be right, but I may be right too.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Carrying the Cavs? Listen, James is having a great season.....maybe his best. But, Love has been playing well also......I wouldn't say he is carrying the Cavs. James carried the Cavs to the Finals when they played the Spurs.....he isn't carrying the Cavs right now. They have others who are pitching in.

Solid point....and I agree Love has been great.

But, LeBron is totally carrying them.

If he doesn't play heavy minutes, they would have lost a ton more games.

 

[DJ Fieri]

2 beers down.

Anytime you can get a LeBron, you do it and the Lakers should certainly go after him.

I just don't see him coming West and hoping the Warriors breakup or fall apart for a chance to win.

Deng and 4 future 2nd round picks....

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Melo is balling.

 

[DJ Fieri]

He's a free agent.

If we can't get James.....I'd prefer George and Cousins.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Deng and 4 future 2nd round picks....

Lmfao..you had to give up a first to dump Luke and his 5.8 salary.

The #2 Overall pick to dump Mosgov who is at least playable.

This situation is like the Clippers dumping Baron Davis on the Cavs.

It cost us the pick that turned out to be Kyrie.

That shit hurts...lol

I will say this, Deng is more tradeable than Noah.

I don't think anything short of Zingers and Ntililikina can entice a Team to take that deal.
