    Disagree - nothing Chicago would like better than to send LeBron out West.

    Does anyone think they can add LBJ while keeping Gordon and PJ?

    I don't think that's possible.

    LeBron cannot afford another Finals Loss
    He cannot afford to NOT go to the the finals anymore

    His whole legacy is shaky , , , ,and he will not longer be in the GOAT convo

    Pretty much the same type of deal I've been pointing to for the month or two …. there is also the option of adding a 4th team as a destination for Gordon for a pick which would go to Cleveland rather than them taking on his salary on a bad team. Who wants to pay $100m for a lottery team ?!

    I am starting to think I have a better chance of winning the lottery than trading for lebron.

    Isn't it way easier for the lakers or sixers to just sign him outright?

    But then again..it's up to lebron whether he wants to leave for another cleveland-like situation. If he goes to the lakers and gets george to come with him..it's not guaranteed that lakers will beat the warriors in the wcf (assuming either team don't cross path with us).

    One or two of Capela, Gordon, or Tucker has to go from a salary and asset POV.

    Tucker and capela arent going anywhere. Tucker was integral to our series vs the warriors. Capela isnt going anywhere. He can switch on defense at the center position. Too important.

    Anderson, Gordon. Thats it. Thats all thats going to go besides filler like picks and onuaku etc.

    Is it possible to include Gerald Green in a sign and trade along with another player?

    It's easier for them to sign him outright, but it's a LOT harder for him to end up wanting to play there given the GM fiasco in Philly and the fact that he'd be throwing away the rest of his career like Melo did in NY if he went to LA.

    In Moray I trust and there is always the Sac King.

    But to OP, mad respect for thinking this through.

    You are missing the point. OP just uses CHI as an example to show this could work. Other teams like Sac Kings could be in the mix in place of CHI or there may be more than a 3 way trade (trade involving the King likely be more than 3 teams included).

    Contracts will have to sent to other teams while assets will have to be sent to Cavs. This trade...if Bron wants it to happen..... will be close to impossible.

    But it will get done and will cost the Rockets alot of future picks.

    So they would rather see the resurrection of the Lakers? Or see Golden State remain the lone super-team and pass up Chicago's six titles with a seventh title?

    Yes but since we don't own his Bird Rights we can only sign him to 120% of his last year's salary which was league minimum. That limits his usefulness. Especially when the team receiving him would immediately hard-capped for the remainder of the year.
