He would be considered the most pathetic superstar of all time.
I doubt GS even wants him. Sweeter to beat him.
Bailing on his team for greener pastures isn't exactly a new concept to him. & I think he wouldn't care given he brought Larry to Cleveland & came thru with his goal.
I’ve seen reports about the Clippers
Please. That has been a rumor since last summer and if you ask any insider/analyst they are a looooooooooong shot. Lakers are the only LA team he'd play for.
I disagree with this. Lebron is the best player in the NBA. A lineup of Curry-Thompson-Durant-Lebron-Draymond would be the best in the history. Granted I think they would have to move one of them probably Draymond or Thompson for Lebron but I still understand why they would want him.
The article states they'd trade Thompson for him, which makes sense cause you'd have Steph and [insert vet on cheap deal here] running things from the back with a star frontcourt of KD-LBJ-Draymond. Small ball lineup, but arguably the best since the Showtime Lakers.
Can't imagine why the Warriors would want LeBron. San Antonio would be an interesting fit, but he would have to accept actually being coached by Pop.
That's the thing. I've read many times LeBron does not want to be coached by an elite coach, he would have a lot less say than he has in his career and would have to make a huge adjustment.
KD would have to opt out and take an even bigger discount. Iggy and Livingston likely have to go, and the bench filled with guys making minimum salary.
I can’t imagine any all time great getting less respect than LeBron would if he joins the Dubs... Imagine Jordan went to Detroit during the height of their battles? It’s unfathomable because a great competitior won’t join a stacked rival for an easier road.
I still bet on him going to the Lakers. They’ve got some good young pieces and the addition of LBJ and PG make them a legit contender.
KD is ok with taking discounts. He's making 25 million this year on a discount and he has said numerous times he just wants to win; he's got 30 million a year from Nike to wear shoes and has a wide range of investments that generate income.
I also bet on LeBron signing with the Lakers (just bought a bigger/second home in LA, toured private schools last summer, wouldn't have the stigma of joining up with two other stars) and if PG stays in OKC, he could team up with Boogie.
