[Mnky]

Anyone notice how many compliments he's been sending the Spurs organization and the way they do things? I think the possibility of him leaving is pretty high at the moment.Maybe it waivers after he gets away from the moment..

Don't be surprised if some small market teams come up ..He's chasing legacy now. He has all the money in the world. He's definitely going to a good coach if he does leave..who implements a system. Man..what if Carlisle had Lebron.. :wow We all know Cuban could make it happen money wise.. he'd figure it out... It'll definitely be interesting to see who he considers.

"I just want to win" is only said by people who've historically not acted that way. James doesn't have to say that. He's not going to play for a team where his minutes and contributions are diminished. He's going to either stay with Miami or he's going to go to New York. I highly doubt Chicago gets him, since they aren't winning anything and Rose will reinjure after game 3 again. Cleveland wouldn't be a bad fit for him, but Dan Gilbert pretty much screwed the pooch on that, and Cleveland fans shit on him when he left.

In this order:

1. Miami
2. NY
3. LA Clippers
4. LA Lakers
5. Dallas Mavericks
6. Portland Trailblazers (with Lillard and Aldridge, would be a hell of a thing)

Have you looked at New York's cap situation man? There are only two real options for leaving Miami:

1. Dallas
2. Washington

If Duncan opts out and signs for the minimum the Spurs become option #3.

Not seeing him leave Miami for any of those situations.

Report: Clippers Could Be Exploring Options To Acquire LeBron
Jun 17, 2014 9:25 PM EDT

http://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/wiretap/photos/2006/James_LeBron_mia_140615.jpg


The Los Angeles Clippers are reportedly exploring the possibility of creating enough cap space to sign LeBron James should he explore leaving the Miami Heat.

The Clippers could create cap space by trading away DeAndre Jordan and Jamal Crawford, while unloading Jared Dudley by attaching a future first round pick.

James is close friends with Chris Paul and those two would form a new Big 3 along with Blake Griffin.

There have previously been reports that the Heat could be amenable to a sign-and-trade if Griffin were to be traded.

James may elect to opt-in for the 14-15 season, which would allow him to have more options while seeing if the Heat can make one more run as currently constructed.

Via Bill Simmons/ESPN (https://twitter.com/BillSimmons/status/479069287819132928)

Get it done, Doc! :toast

[djohn2oo8]

Dallas has capspace while LA Alpha does not.

LeBron would still need to carry the load there, and that would defeat the purpose of leaving Miami. Besides, Cubans comments on Sterling might have pissed off a lot of Negro players. He might have a hard time getting anyone to come.

[baseline bum]

Funny you mention that:



Get it done, Doc! :toast

Unload Jordan, Crawford, and Dudley for absolutely nothing, trade your draft pick, and you have $12 million to throw at James.

[djohn2oo8]

I really do think he'll opt out to put pressure on Riley.

[baseline bum]

LeBron would still need to carry the load there, and that would defeat the purpose of leaving Miami. Besides, Cubans comments on Sterling might have pissed off a lot of Negro players. He might have a hard time getting anyone to come.

They could actually put together a pretty nice 7 man rotation. Bring Dalembert back at the $3.9 million team option, give James $20 million, Dirk $10 million, and tell Carter or Marion he can have the other $2 million to play for a ring.

G Calderon
G Ellis
F James
F Nowitzki
C Dalembert
6 Carter/Marion
7 Wright

Then they gotta hope for a ring-chaser or two to play for minimum.

[Clipper Nation]

Cuban couldn't even land the fat coach-killer DWill, who grew up in Dallas, but you think he can land LeBron?

[djohn2oo8]

^LeBron will either stay or leave to join other stars ready to win now and can win multiple titles. Most of those guys are close to retirement

Clippers seem like the only true contender to steal him from Miami but even then it seems far-fetched...

[baseline bum]

Of course I don't think he's going to land LeBron; James is staying in Miami. But Dallas is his best option if he leaves.

Nowitzki is coming off a really strong season. No reason to think he couldn't play 3 more years at a high level as the best #2 option in the league considering Dirk has always had an old man game.

[Clipper Nation]

Of course I don't think he's going to land LeBron; James is staying in Miami. But Dallas is his best option if he leaves.

I seriously think he's leaving, either this summer or in 2015.... Wade's selfishness is going to hinder Riley from making the team better, and you can tell LeBron's fed up with the collection of bums he's had to carry around, cover for, and take all the blame for in Miami....

[Baam]

Of course I don't think he's going to land LeBron; James is staying in Miami. But Dallas is his best option if he leaves.

On paper but Lebron doesn't seem like he'd be best buddy with Dirk and their whole team is old like Miami.

If hes leaving it's for the Clippers.

[djohn2oo8]

^ No. Clippers followed by Houston are the best options in the West who can clear the cap space.

Maybe 2015, but his choices are pretty limited this year. No one can seriously think he's even considering Cleveland.

[djohn2oo8]

Dirk is declining base. It was evident this year.

[Koolaid_Man]

Let me be candid for a moment...I've mentioned this in the past for those that were acute enough to follow it....without being too descriptive so that people won't try and put to and to together to figure out who I am I will say this....I have a very close person to me like a god parent that knows Lebron and his family personally..I'm always being invited to parties the Heat throw and all this other BS...they know I won't go because I'm a Kobe guy...I have pics of D-Wade's wife at a function with a good friend of mine...of course this person was thoroughly vetted by Bron and Wade before this person was allowed that close of access...What this god parent of mine is telling me is that Lebron has indicated in private he wants to play in LA...now it's likely with the Clippers but this person didn't rule out playing with Kobe...I'm just telling you if you start hearing rumors and it ends up being true I want to ensure I get credit so you dumb asses can't take your calling me a liar card and shove it up your asses...:toast

[Clipper Nation]

No one can seriously think he's even considering Cleveland.
On that we agree.... Mark Heisler reported a year or so ago that the Cleveland rumors are all being made up by members of LeBron's old entourage because they desperately want back on the gravy train, tbh.... Cavsfan are delusional if they think he's seriously ever going back to that shithole :lol

[baseline bum]

^ No. Clippers followed by Houston are the best options in the West who can clear the cap space.

Lay out for me exactly how the Clippers clear the cap space. The Simmons tweet CN referenced above is ridiculous, since no way LeBron is taking that kind of paycut. If the Rockets can somehow dump Lin and Asik for nothing they could have $19 million to give James, assuming they're bringing back Parsons and Daniels for the ridiculously low team options (might as well, since the cap hold would cost them $400,000 anyways).

[Baam]

An underrated destination could be Washington tbh... They have the cap space... Two very young stars so the window could virtually be open until he retires...

[djohn2oo8]

^ oh true. I saw that tweetand it didn't say it would only clear 12 million? So it would have to be a Blake for LeBron SnT to make it happen.

[djohn2oo8]

That might be most logical but that still didn't stop them from getting their asses whooped. It won't matter though if Wade doesn't opt out and sign for less. It will just be a repeat of this year.

LeBron wants to go back to Cleveland, it's pretty apparent. But will he? Maybe not this time around, but I have no doubt that he will return eventually.

In my opinion, Bron is either staying in Miami or going back to Cleveland. Why would he want to go to the West where the competition is at its finest and he could be exposed a little more?

Cleveland is not exactly a luxurious city, but it is where he grew up, and they do have a talented young core in the terrible East that could instantly position themselves at the top of the conference with LeBron, the top pick this year (Wiggins?), and Kyrie.

[Seventyniner]

If LeBron sees Finals losses as detrimental to his legacy, he very well could go to the West. Without LeBron, it's hard to see any East champ taking more than one game from the West champ.

[Malik Hairston]

:lol Lebron doesn't care about Finals losses, that's the stupidest stat that anybody actually uses to argue a point, tbh(not referring to the poster above me, but I've seen a lot of people use it, over the years)..losing in the Finals being worse than not making it to the Finals makes absolutely no sense..

Anyways, Lebron isn't leaving Miami, tbh, the alternative, realistic destinations are shitty..he's not going to publicly say he's staying in Miami, yet, as he has all the leverage and he's probably hoping Wade opts out and signs for less, since that's the only chance they have at any type of flexibility, especially knowing that Mickey Arison isn't Prokhorov..

Lebron is still by far the best player in the league, and Bosh is still a capable #2 guy..they just need to figure out Wade's role and situation..if he agrees to sign for less and they can manage some flexibility, they'll need to sign a PG and an athlete for the perimeter..if Miami had a Danny Green, they would be back on top of the league(there aren't many players that fit that mould, to be fair)..

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

The Warriors were able to dump Biedrins and Dick Jefferson to make room for Iggy.... I'm sure there'd be more demand for DJ, Jamal and even Dudley than those two bums :lol

Utah needed salaries to get to the league minimum and that is the reason they took those two contracts plus 3 picks.

Suns are probably the only team in need of Jordan's service and have the cap space to absorb this trade. Defensive centers with little to none offensive skills are not in high demand. Just ask Asik and the Rockets.

Jamal Crawford is a selfish player and a chucker. After seeing the Spurs win this season playing team ball with Parker being invisible for 3 out of the 4 series, most teams are going to want to avoid players like Crawford. Just look what happen to the Pacers after they trade for Evans (a me type of player).

Clippers aren't getting Lebron, plain and simple.

[Malik Hairston]

If Miami can get a little flexibility, they should hope to get some of these players on ring-chasing deals IMO: Livingston, Tolliver, Miles, Carter, Marion, Harris, Blake, Meeks, Miller, Udrih, Williams..

"I just want to win" is only said by people who've historically not acted that way. James doesn't have to say that. He's not going to play for a team where his minutes and contributions are diminished. He's going to either stay with Miami or he's going to go to New York. I highly doubt Chicago gets him, since they aren't winning anything and Rose will reinjure after game 3 again. Cleveland wouldn't be a bad fit for him, but Dan Gilbert pretty much screwed the pooch on that, and Cleveland fans shit on him when he left.

I agree. I meant that seeing Finals losses as negatives compared to losses in earlier rounds (as dumb as it sounds) is about the only way LeBron heads West.

I still see 2013 as the 6th-best season in Spurs franchise history. Losing game 7 of the Finals is better than any other non-championship outcome.

bron said after his vacation he would sit down with bosh and wade to discuss their future together. i think they're going to try to get wade to agree to opt out and re-sign for less. but wade isn't going for that, i wouldn't either and neither would bron or bosh. so its more than likely all 3 return.

[024]

Lebron should stay and see where things go next season. No one is going to challenge him in the East anyways so he'll have another shot in the finals. Then, he can always opt out and join the Spurs when Duncan and Ginobili retire after next season. Lebron loves being Magic Johnson and he can pass all he wants in Pop's system.

In all honestly, Pop's system truly fits Lebron's playstyle. Lebron can just pick up where Ginobili left off, although he'll probably want to start. There might be some tweaking involved since Lebron would require more touches and occasionally the ball will stick in his hands but that can easily be fixed by the current greatest coach in sports.

This, tbh....

First of all, Cleveland is a non-starter simply because of the combination of how they wasted seven years of his career and the infamous Comic Sans letter, tbh.... but let's pretend none of that happened - in order to even have a chance, the Cavs needed all their picks to pan out and basically become OKC East.... instead, Kyrie is just another Marbury-esque chucker and cancer, and they reached for Waiters and Bennett.... then they needed to appear to be a non-dysfunctional organization, yet the Mike Brown re-hiring/re-firing, the Bynum incident, and the debacle of this past season shows they're still a mess...

Pretty clear that all this Cleveland nonsense is being spread by LeBron's old high-school friends who are desperate to start mooching off him again, as Mark Heisler reported last year, but Media and casual fans still slurp it up :lol

Lebron should stay and see where things go next season. No one is going to challenge him in the East anyways so he'll have another shot in the finals. Then, he can always opt out and join the Spurs when Duncan and Ginobili retire after next season. Lebron loves being Magic Johnson and he can pass all he wants in Pop's system.

In all honestly, Pop's system truly fits Lebron's playstyle. Lebron can just pick up where Ginobili left off, although he'll probably want to start. There might be some tweaking involved since Lebron would require more touches and occasionally the ball will stick in his hands but that can easily be fixed by the current greatest coach in sports.
That's like saying Kim Kardashian should do public television.

That list is a load of shit...he should come to Houston before considering half those garbage ass teams. :lol

Miami is several miles above those other teams as far as landing spot for him however Houston has such a shitty coach that I highly doubt a true superstar would want to go there. If Lionel Hollins became the head coach that would change.

He cannot be seen to quit just because he lost in the Finals 1 year. For any other team that was a successful year. He has more opportunity to win championships in that city than any other city that he would likely go to.

He should come back to Cleveland. I don't think he will- at least not yet. But he should.

I don't get it. Why? That roster and franchise are a train wreck.

[Captivus]

I dont see him going to CLE at all. Why? Doesnt make sense.

If he wants to win (duh!) the smart thing to do is to stay in the east, and get to the finals every season.
He knows that he can take team to the finals almost by himself.

I just hope he goes to PHI...what about WAS!

Unload Jordan, Crawford, and Dudley for absolutely nothing, trade your draft pick, and you have $12 million to throw at James.
I just realized something - isn't the salary cap going up to $63 mil this year? So then we'd have more like $15 million to work with....

The Clippers have $73.6 million in committed salary. They need to drop that to $45 million or so to have any hope of getting James.

I don't get it. Why? That roster and franchise are a train wreck.

1.) A lot of roster flexibility (similar to the Celtics pre-2008, with Kyrie playing the Al Jefferson role)

2.) Just some delusional Cleveland Fan BS that I won't get into.

Not sure how much he cares about $, but if he can opt out, sign a cap friendly contract with the Heat for 2 additional years, and force the Heat to upgrade the roster.

Another way is to sign a lower than market value contract with a team that requires offensive production, like the Grizzlies, but that would require Randolph to opt out, and may need a sign and trade. Highly doubtful that would happen.

He can also, as mentioned earlier, sign with the Wizards, but Wall is a ball dominant player, and I am unsure if his playing style works with that of Lebron.

Finally, sign with the Spurs for $8M a year, he will still be the obvious top dog, but his legacy will be totally destroyed. But in this scenario, he can win a few more championships before the entire Spurs roster is done.
