    Would you do it?

    Does it really matter how or when we win a championship?

    Winning a championship or 2 with LeBron and CP3 then being mediocre for the next 5 years?

    hell no

    and the real question is this

    Would u trade Harden for Lebron and Rich Paul?

    Younger Lebron needed better than an aging, declining CP0 as his 2nd best player to win a title. Now we’re just gonna assume that older Lebron can get it done?

    So you wouldn't do a:

    Harden + Capela for Lebron + Kuzma and the 4th pick?

    No way.

    LBJ will be 35, and has a ton of mileage on him, as he came into the League at 18....especially when you consider all the postseasons also. He's already showing signs of decline and has a game predicated on athleticism.

    James is currently on the right side of 30...unreal skills, much less reliant on athleticism. Beard's game should age well.

    Why would the Lakers want to give up Kuzma and the 4th pick as well just because you’re adding in Capela?

    34 yo Bron, 34 yo CP3, 34 yo PJ, EG

    That’s supposed to get u a title now? Then u got Bron and Rich Paul trying to take over the organization. I wanted Bron when we were trying to add him to Harden.

    No. Age difference too large.

    My initial thought is no
    If we did it .. . . need more than just LeBron

    Would the Lakers trade LeBron for Harden? Yes. That means we shouldn't do it. They're desperate to be relevant.

    How are you winning "a championship or 2" with Lebron and CP3?

    If the best player in the world can't get us past the stacked Warriors, no way in heck 2 old dudes can do it.

    You don't think this lineup could compete for the next 2 years?

    CP3
    EG
    Jimmy Butler
    LeBron
    DeAndre Jordan

    Morey would have to work his magic, but I can see this happening if we do that trade
