Realistically, if Ginobili retires after this year, is it possible to bring Lebron to San Antonio if the Spurs get rid of Parker??
I keep hearing rumors that he might leave Cleaveland yet again.

Permaban.
He and Kyle can battle it out to be Kawhi's backup.
Honestly, Lebron never had a good coach/mentor by his side.Quote:

For whatever is left in him, I truly believe James can flourish under the surveillance of Popovich & staff.

Almost made a Lebron to SA thread today tbh :lol better get it started
Yes.
Wasn't there a thread made about this last week?
ONLY way this unreality fantasy dream can turn into anything at all is if Durant signs with Dubs.
But no..
My apology if there was.Quote:

Well you would pretty much need a super team to beat them. :lol SA is already the closest team to challenge the warriors, adding Lebron to our core would push us over the top against them after Duncan/Gino is gone, plus maybe some other pieces. I'll axe Parker and Take a Kimba/Lebron combo to add to Leonard/Aldridge tbhQuote:

What if he gets knocked out the first round this year, like we did a few years back. Then the next year they don't make it out of the 2nd? Think hes gonna stick around? :lolQuote:

But even I feel this not a reality at all but if Durant went to GSW the league IMO would be in full panic mode..and I don't see any organizations that had the structure or culture that would even compete with SA..
Good take!Quote:

:lol and the unleashing of some more Comic Sans MS messaging. If anything, LeBron will bring his friends to the Cavs. Afterall he is the Coach and GM.Quote:

What is up with ST's sudden obsession with Lebron? He's not coming to SA to you noobs :lol

He left because he wanted control of the organization, which has been confirmed by several credible people in the media..Riley ran the organization in Miami, the organization didn't cave in to Lebron and his people, he wanted to return to Cleveland to control the franchise and fix his image(which worked)..
There's no chance he would join the Spurs..he wouldn't have any power within the organization if Pop is around(especially if Tim is still there, too), and by next year, he probably wouldn't even be the best player on the team anymore..
His focus is empowering players, particularly Black players..it has been brewing for years, starting with the rise of Rich Paul, and it has become a more important priority for him than winning titles, especially since he knows he'll never reach the amount that was expected of him as the #1 guy(wasted too many years in Cleveland)..
"Empowering black players" the NBA is 85% black..Quote:

You think he would say that he left because he had better odds with the Cavs? Fix his image is definitely a better narrative than jumping ship because one seems to be sinking and the other seems better.Quote:

You guys are so sure he won't leave the Cavs but on the other hand no one was ever expecting him to return back to them :lol
Eric Spoelstra is one of the best coaches in the league and he worked beside Pat RileyQuote:

What would be awesome is this. Durant signs with the dubs and everyone's like cancel the season, then somehow we create enough cap space and sign LeBron. People would be losing their minds in all sports. The league would most definetly have to change east and west conference or seeding wise because the finals would be in western conference for years to come. Every time those 2 teams played would be must see tv, like Super Bowl wise. Yeah I know it wouldn't happen but it's wishful thinking. I'm telling if Durant did decide to sign with dubs, LeBron would have to jump on a great team already. To make things interesting.
Many laugh and dismiss this notion but I've always thought he will end up a spur. If it happens, Aldridge, Leonard and James will win 3 more.
It's happening. :wakeup
He's not over himself yet.
But at what cost? Not sure is want to part with Anderson to make a curry trade possible.Quote:

Same was said about the Big3 between 2008-2013 tbh and LeBron's game will age great imo. But I understand what you're trying to say. I think the difficult part won't be winning the Championships but the lure of key Free Agents to play in Cleveland.Quote:

As for Lebron, his game is suited to flourish under Pop's type of system but he's a nut. He's unselfish on the court but totally in love with himself and being Lebron James. He has the mentality of a child and no matter what he may publicly say to the contrary, is hyper-sensitive and narcissistic at the same time. In other words, he is far from "over himself".
It's too late for Pop to change him at this point. He's too spoiled at this point.Quote:

He'll be a Spur
...when he's 38
Lebron is weak-minded. Not Spurs material.
Id take Lebron at the four to be Diaw 3.0.... but hes gotta take enough of a cut so that we can afford and Durant too. and Horford. and keep Diaw 2.0.
Hopefully we can pay them only 5mil each since they make so much off endorsements and sign Davis to come off the bench.Quote:

If he wants a near max deal and we want him we can always offer Parker´s contract and something in a sign and trade scenario.
I guess Tony and Boris would do it.
