    It is a good theory and I see your logic to it to "control the narrative."

    But more than likely this "report" is more driven from LBJ's people to tell the Cavs "get me more help or else" type of thing.

    Ultimately, LBJ does not want to leave Cleveland. He will do anything he can to stay but he needs "reasons." They are basically doing all the can to push him out the door with their malaise.

    Apparently, it's coming from the GSW camp not the LeBron camp. Which in essence they may be doing him a favor... based on your theory of course.

    Makes NO SENSE that the GSW camp would put out a story that INCLUDES their own players being traded away in Thompson and Iggy. Why rock their own boat?

    It would make sense for them to put out a feeler and for the media personnel, with the source that tipped them off, to put all the other pieces that would need to fall in place to do so on their own inclinations.

    They don't need to put out a feeler "publicly." They can use "back channels" for that.

    This is put out publicly for a reason.

    This is stupid. Beyond stupid. Lebron James. Arguably the best player ever to touch a basketball joins his arch Nemesis over his best friend and the MVP to win because he couldn’t beat them with the Cavs. It’s just a piece to make a piece. Click bait crap. Lebron actually even considering Warriors is maybe the most far fetched bs ever thought up.

    Career suicide. This is prolly the dumbest Ish I have ever read on twitter. Second is Lebron will consider the Clippers. . My God. Atleast be a little realistic like Lebron might look at Minny or Boston. Smh

    Or it could have been something that slipped to the press. IDK, but really this isn't going to do much of what you say on the end of the Cavs FO. If anything I would think they'd be more reluctant to let that Nets pick go after hearing this news. Wherever it originated from.

    Will you post an "Oops I'm an arse" post if he meets with them?

    I am not saying this will motivate the Cavs FO. Just saying LBJ (and his people) has a history of passive aggressiveness and knows how to play the media.

    I do not see the Cavs moving that Nets pick without a Paul George type trade which isn't gonna happen.

    I agree with you, there's nothing out there that would warrant giving up that pick anyway. Demarcus Cousins may have been the only big tuna available in the pond but now he's just a fish outta water.

    Unless Anthony Davis somehow becomes available you just pocket that pick and hope for the best if you're the Cavs.

    LeBron will not under any circumstances go to GSW.
    His ego is way too big for that.
    He knows his legacy took a hit when he formed the super team in Miami and he won't want to jump on a championship team like KD did.

    I’d rather have PG13...16 years is a longtime...he would have to change his number and no longer be called PG13....how about Rated “R”(insert rocket logo)

    Don't let this Lebron to GSW talk distract you from the real topic that should be talked about which is Harden deserving and should be winning the MVP this year, finally.

    Yeaaa **** you ESPN. I see you. I know what you're doing. Always avoiding.

    pretty much when they do not like the content out there to report they can make up their own. A big reason why Westbrook won the MVP, even if ESPN may have decline in how they cover basketball compared to TNT between their website, radio, twitter and TV shows they can easily control the overall sports world narrative and discussion STILL
