    If you had asked this question back at the beginning of the season, I believe the answer would have been a resounding HELL YES (and twice of Sunday), but we've seen what this team is capable of now and we really need an interior presence like Capela to make it work. Let's talk after the playoffs have ended.

    OP has said that this hypothetical deal is assuming we do not win the finals, so no need to wait until the playoffs have ended to discuss.

    No. Capela is too important to this team. When we play our best, it's usually because Capela is contributing significantly. When he doesn't we rely much more on everyone else not named CP3/Harden. When those three are firing, nobody can stop us.

    Would the addition of Lebron really supplement the loss of the perfect center and 6th man? Sincerely doubt it.

    Has anyone asked why the Cavs would trade away Lebron after they have him locked in to a long contract?

    I don't think Cleveland would even do that. If LeBron is going to leave they will be looking for draft picks no players. All though Capela is young so he has high value but keep in mind Capelas contract is up after this year so he would have to agree to sign and trade and I am sure he has no interest in doing something like that.

    Apparently, that thread is insufficient for posters whose trade ideas are way too brilliant to be buried where people can't see them.

    Ask this again in the offseason.

    I'm voting NO because:
    1. Poster is a Warriors fan
    2. We're still in the playoffs
    3. Trolling

    The homerism on this board is ridiculous. I wonder what the vote would have been if there was a cp3 for Bev trade before it happened.

    You are seriously this bored, OP? Here we are in the middle of the 1st round of the playoffs, striving to add another title to our collection, and this is what is on your mind? Wow. o_O

    Lol people were even against that trade

    It’s all about them assets brah...


    Like I stated before if we don’t win a chip this year with this group no reason to not get Lebron regardless of who it takes.

    If I had my say I’d go after a younger target like George or Kawhia.

    All day every day and twice on Sunday. Y'all even paying attention to what he's doing? We would go on a 3peat with LeBron and he retires as the GOAT with the Rockets.
