It was a joke. Lebron recruits who he thinks he can get and who he is close to. I’ve already said Ibaka was the best fit but everyone is underestimating Harrell. He is an undersized Dwight at the 4...look at his numbers but he will play the 5 at times and so will AD. Harrell was a very good rim protector especially at his size. High FG %. Solid defender. He will be will a very nice player off the bench.
Of course Ibaka was the best target...he shot like 40% from 3, has the size to play the 5 and great rim protector. That being said, we dont know if Ibaka was even an option for the Lakers...if so Tres was the best option available at the 4/5 for that price.
So last year it was PF’s, this year it’s PG’sAustin Rivers to the Knicks
Good pickup
This makes losing serge feel a bit better
