LeBron has an insane mileage.
MASTER PLAN
LeBron needs to opt-in his player option.
Trade him for Anderson + Tucker + Nene after the season.
Let Ariza walk.
Re-sign Paul, Capela, Luc and Gerald Green.
Sign Wade and Jeff Green.
Sign shooters and a backup big.
2018/2019 Houston Rockets
Chris Paul / Dwyane Wade
James Harden / Eric Gordon
Luc Mbah a Moute / Gerald Green
LeBron James / Jeff Green
Clint Capela / Backup big
Spurs are sucking on purpose so the narrative next year isn't that Lebron is joining a "winner" when he comes to the Spurs.
OKC just lost to the Lakers at home. Their 4th loss in a row after an 8-game winning streak. They play the Warriors in San Fran next.

New Orleans is bringing back guard DeAndre Liggins on a two-year deal, league sources tell ESPN. His time on a 10-day contract with Pels recently ended. Liggins has shown himself to be a strong perimeter defender.
Spurs no longer on pace to win 50 games this season:
only a few people here were believing that fake record anyway
It can change easily if Kiwi comes back but as they stand right now... They aren't that good. Even Manu said it.
And the Spurs are losing game! Go figure!
Has a lot more to do with the people around him. LA has been fantastic this season.
I don't disagree. With that said, I don't believe the Aldridge way is the winning way as the paradigm has shifted to one with motion and ball movement as opposed to post ups and ISOs. Most teams are content with giving up the less efficient mid rsnge J's and post ups because they won't beat very many teams in today's game.
Bad news for Lebron: Playoffs are nationally televised.
Pistons look pretty good with Blake
Atlanta Hawks reportedly in “full-scale sell mode” in advance of trade deadline

Deveney indicates that “executives around the league expect (Marco Belinelli and Ersan Ilyasova) to be bought out if they are not traded” and, while that isn’t a shock, it does speak to a potential lack of interest on the market
I would take both. We all know who we would like to see dropped as well.
Sweet. I'd take both those guys if they are bought out.
How have we not seen more Mills + 1st for Beli and Dedmon pipedream posts?
Well that report sure isn't helping their trade value. Why give up assets if you can just wait a week and pick them off the buyout market?
In all honesty, teams are just finally getting smarter. It makes no sense to give up assets for a 3 month rental of Belinelli or Illyasova. Neither are big enough difference makers -- they are complimentary outliers that provide depth for the teams that would be interested in trading for them ( contenders). The bad teams would only be interested in their contracts since they're expiring, but why would Hawks take on bad deals unless picks (plural) are attached? Contenders are the only market for these type of niche role players who have expiring deals on bad teams.
Not sure why this is so hard to figure out.
