    He would instantly be one of my favorite diva’s of all-time if he did this. If he could insist on KD being shipped, I’d elevate him to no. 1.

    This franchise is so bad that Lebron listed nearly half the league as potential landing spots and did not include the Rockets.

    I actually agree with this. Especially in his first Cavs run when he was first emerging, we got a lot of Eastern conference games where I live and I saw a lot of LeBron. I hate that he had more success than us, but his career has been incredible to watch. All that "generational" **** people talk about so flippantly he actually epitomises. I've seen him do **** I've seen nobody else in history do.

    LeBron James has had an amazing career. I put his career up next to Kareem Abdul Jabbar. One of the 2-3 best to ever play.

    Having said that- he can want a “legacy enhancement”, but he still isn’t catching Jordan.

    Feel like every time we play him Ime is telling him to go f*ck himself lol I don’t see it

    He also ain’t coming here without a point guard. If we somehow swapped Fred with Harden, Kyrie, or even Dejounte I might could see it since KD here too

    Id love to trade Fred for one of those 3 PGs and try to convince LeBron & Demar to both sign here for one last ride

    As I said 2 weeks ago, GS or Clev. GS is interesting, but I don't see him passing up the chance to return to Cleveland again to end his career with the talent they already have.

    28 yr old Miami LBJ would be getting you to the Finals mostly in the East.

    41 yr old LBJ cannot do it.

    This is not the NBA of the past, plug in 3 superstars and you win the chip, you need a bench and depth now.

    LeBron isn’t going to work for Tilman guys.

    You have always needed depth

    LBJ should sign with all 29 teams for a 1 week contract, that way he helps with everyone's jersey sales......

    Half of his value is not about chasing rings but on the business side, always has been and always will.

    Not a bad idea, be good for Bruce Thornton to practice with someone his own weight.

    Lebron surpassed Jordan in many many ways. There is no way to categorically say one player is better than the other. If you say Jordan is obviously the goat, seems like an emotional pick ...not a logical one.

    Most of the people that say Jordan is the greatest also say that Jordan would have won 8 championships and put an * next to the Rockets. Those same folks go brain dead when you explain to them that Jordan was not only playing, but he was playing at his best the year they lost to Orlando ...the team that the Rockets swept.

    I think Lebron wants to go to Cleveland but I think he's orchestrating how to get rid of James Harden. He knows Harden is a quitter and no team can win a championship with him. GS is tempting, I'm sure, especially since they are close to home but that just ain't smart. Miami is flawed, no depth. If he goes there, he has to convince a bunch of FAs to sign with him but who's left?

    lol at this myth of LeBron passing Jordan in anything.

    LeBron has been pretty good at blackmailing orgs trying to built super teams and killing the competitive spirit. He’s certainly better at that
