Fantasy Scenario: Would you trade for James?

[dg7md]

Let's throw out a hypothetical. Not like this will happen, but, let's just say that Miami reaches a deal with James and does a sign and trade. Would you trade for him?

The Heat want Kawhi Leonard, Tiago Splitter/Danny Green, and Tony Parker. Do you make the trade? If so, why? If not, why not?

[100%duncan]

No. Too much.

[Proxy]

wouldn't have much of a team to come to

[DJR210]

Sure.

Splitter, Bonner, Belinelli

[dg7md]

As much as I'd be against it... I would trade whoever they wanted for him. He's a dynamic enough player that we could fill in the holes with system players surrounding him. We don't need all-stars to thrive, but having LeBron and surrounding him with our bench would make for an excellent team.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Kawhi, Tiago, filler, 2 1st round picks.

[hsxvvd]

I'd trade them Corey Joseph if THEY throw in a few 1st rounders and some cash.

[siraulo23]

anybody but td, ill trade for lebron if possible

[100%duncan]

Ya'll saying having lebron plus TD and bench is 'ship material, what you dont realize is we have to give up half of our bench in reality to get Bron.

[32fastest]

Hell no. Half the satisfaction of this year's championship was beating him. It's so much more satisfying doing it as a whole team.

[SupremeGuy]

I'd give up Parker and Splitter for James, but that's it.

[dbreiden83080]

No.. I can't root for a guy that is fishing for a new team every 4 years..

[Captivus]

I pressed Yes by mistake!! FUCK!

[mudyez]

I pressed Yes by mistake!! FUCK!

Billy Knight feels you. Thats how he handed out several contracts and made more than one trade.

You want to trade 3/5 of the starters for 1 guy? The fuck?

[xellos88330]

He has too high of a price tag to trade for. I would only go after LeBron in free agency.

[Blake]

It'd be strange to see Lebron in HEB commercials with Tim and Manu

[Mikeanaro]

Never, no place for divas in San Antonio.

[SupremeGuy]

It'd be strange to see Lebron in HEB commercials with Tim and Manu:lmao

[Spurs9]

I'd trade TD for Lebron

[Jimcs50]

We can get him for nothing next year

[gambit1990]

i voted yes but that was before i read the second paragraph.

[spursfan1000]

Probably Parker,Green and belineni and 2 1st rounders for James Cole

[Arcadian]

Hell no. James is already past his peak (he peaked in 2012), we have a younger player at his position who just won Finals MVP, and we just beat James in the Finals, proving that a well-constructed team is more important that having the best individual player.

[dg7md]

You want to trade 3/5 of the starters for 1 guy? The fuck?

He's LeBron James, dude... He can play every position and has 4-5 solid years left of being the best player in the game. It's no secret that our players are mostly system players and can be re-plugged with additional talents if necessary.

[703 Spurz]

He's LeBron James, dude... He can play every position and has 4-5 solid years left of being the best player in the game. It's no secret that our players are mostly system players and can be re-plugged with additional talents if necessary.

If you were to trade Leonard, Splitter, and Parker, who starts at center? Bonner? If James runs the point, who's the SF? If he's the SF, who runs the point? Joseph?

[PingPong]

He's LeBron James, dude... He can play every position and has 4-5 solid years left of being the best player in the game. It's no secret that our players are mostly system players and can be re-plugged with additional talents if necessary.

But he need superfriends to win. TD and Manu as his superfriends? Or Boris and Green? Spurs without Parker, Kawhi and Splitter?

:lol

[dg7md]

:lol

It seems grim but in the case this happened I trust our FO with solutions.

[snickles]

He has too high of a price tag to trade for. I would only go after LeBron in free agency.

this.

the spurs have proven they can beat the 1-man team. why gut the roster and make basically the 1-man team we just beat?

[dunkman]

On short term it would be more difficult to win a 'ship the next season with so many holes in the roster. Soon after that Duncan and Manu could retire causing more problems. On long term the Spurs would have an ideal franchise player to built a team around, but LeBron already left the Cavs, and chances are he's a gonner from the Heat, may as well leave the Spurs. He will probably lose his cool before RC can build a 'ship team around him. So, I wouldn't do it.

Now that the FA's know the Spurs are for real, RC just has to keep improving the 10 man rotation without any player eating all the cap space. After re-signing Diaw and Patty, Gasol for the MLE as a backup-C and a serviceable backup-SF (Pierce) should be good enough to repeat.

[kaji157]

I voted yes but i didn´t see which players were involved.
I would go as far as two of Tony, Manu and Green and Splitter to make it work plus fillers. But that is as far as i go.
