POLL What team gives Bron the best chance to win another title?

[flyerhawk]

Obviously OKC and SA give him the best chance to win another chip. But I think it is pretty unlikely that he goes to either.

I picked the Sixers because A) I think it is a great for him and B) I'm a homer.

If I didn't pick the Sixers I would probably go the Wolves. That would be a pretty outstanding starting 5.

IMO, Lebron wants a good story and he wants a team where he is considered a vital piece but also not a team that requires him to put in a lot of high leverage minutes.

IMO, Philly and the Wolves both fit that bill. Neither has won in forever, or ever. But could greatly use him on their teams and he would really elevate them. And neither would need him to be a focal point of the offense except when he wants to.

I don't think Cleveland is ideal for him since he already did it there. No way the Knicks given they just won. Same with the Celtics. Denver also recently won.

I want LeBron to end up on the team that will piss the most people off.

You name me a single star player who isn't washed up who has taken the veteran's minimum. Last one I can think of was Karl Malone taking the minimum to play on the Lakers way back in 2004 and he was on his last year. It just doesn't happen. I'll believe it with Bron when I see it.

Two, he can play, sure, but only if they severely limit his playoff minutes...which defeats the purpose of signing him. That dude doesn't have it in him to go for multiple playoff rounds now. He's not going to be a game-changer.

And, of course he'll be a distraction. He has an entire team of agents, trainers, handlers, and camera men who follow his every move...not to mention the media circus from every sports outlet following him. And he'll clearly want to be a part of decision-making even if he says he doesn't.

Lebron has a bajillion dollars. He's 41. I seriously doubt he is looking for a retirement tour.

The teams he has the best chance to win with don't have any meaningful cap space. Taking a team that hasn't won it in a long time and he can be hailed as the elder hero that brought them to the promised land is exactly what he is looking for, IMO.

You are correct of course. We all know Tai Chi’s level of insight lol

Bron is a billionaire. He’s going to buy a team not coach lol

He might be a minor partner, that would be it

 

[Wamu]

What he ain't got enough dough to buy his own team? Seriously man LeBron's a loser!

**and he invented flopping

He can do exactly what MJ did with the Hornets if he chooses (probably with the same lack of success though lol)

Based on how he has performed as LeGM...seems likely. lol

Chicago.

Jordan paid $325 million for the Hornets and he was worth about what Lebron is now. Those prices are long gone obviously.

I'd be very surprised if Lebron tried coaching. Seems he'd be more interested in ownership than coaching.

This.

 

[DJ "I'm blessed" Fieri]

Chicago.

They may pitch him but he not going there....

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

It is not in my interest to be honest in this thread, so i wont.
Minnesota!

Yeah I thought about that as a possible option too.

I guess no one really knows for sure, except him of course.

But only time will tell.
He's on the clock now.

I don't see it as a given Lebron at this stage makes a very good team better. An average team, yes.
When you bring in Lebron, everything changes. The chemistry, focus, the media coverage ..everything.

You have to change everything for a guy you will have to work harder to insure he plays less than anyone else.

And watch how the media coverage will change. The second you lose 3 games in a row the media will go after the
GM, coach, players ..everything is the problem except Lebron.

You will get articles like " The Cavaliers are wasting Lebron's last year."

I just don't see why a top tier team would risk changing the chemistry they already have.

Because as a #3 or even a #4 option he gives whatever tean he signs with another guy they can go to in the clutch.

That's why.

 

[DJ "I'm blessed" Fieri]

He just isn't a #1 option anymore. While he could be a good #2 his best would be a #3 or #4.

Several title contenders could utilize him.

Yeah, Bron's input to management on the Lakers leaves much to be desired. He's brilliant on the actual court but a dunce everywhere else in life.

There's no evidence he can go longer than two playoff rounds without being useless. He's Embiid without the injuries.

You really need to stop saying this. It makes you look like you have no clue what you're talking about.

Dude is quoting people now but still showing clown-ish tendencies.
