Lebron James to Spurs: Best Destination for him

[Spurs9]

If the spurs signed Lebron every spurs fan would be on his sac

[TheGoldStandard]

He will stay put, Wade and Bosh will probably take less money and they'll be able to update there roster a bit.

If Spurs some how got James you can go ahead and put us in the finals for the next 5 seasons.

james isn't going anywhere. just because he didn't win a le this year he's gonna bolt? they made the finals 4 years running.

[RD2191]

The East is pure garbage. Who's going to challenge the Heat next year or even the year after that? I can easily see them making 2 more Finals out East. They probably won't win but they have no challengers out East. LBJ will stay in Miami. They can still make deep runs if they make Bosh a true 2nd option.

Just saw the latest interview with James on ESPN and he said money is not the issue where he plays.
Rather it is playing like a team, like San Antonio plays.
Managing his minutes is important too so he can extend his career.
A friend of mine asked me and posed this question, that what if he wanted to come here to play under Pop.
Would Pop retire after all when TD did.
Money would not be an issue, he would come to get championships.
Pop has coached him before too and would manage his minutes.
Plus it would extend TDs career.
Preposterous, I know, but what if he did want to play here for money like TD and Manu make?
That would be insane, the Spurs would win the next 5 les for sure.

But it will never happen!

That's pretty much what I was suggesting. IF he was going to go anywhere - The Spurs would be the best destination for purely basketball reasons. He'll never be the best player he can be until he plays in a system like ours. He's never going to be the offensive killer that Jordan or even Kobe is because he doesn't have the same score first at ude those players have/had. That's not a bad thing. He's a tremendous player because he's skilled in so many different areas. His stat lines would be ridiculous, there would be no pressure on his shoulder to carry the load, etc.

Do we need him? Obviously not.

TBH, Lebron would never dare to come over to the Western Conference.

[Captivus]

If he even comments something about the Spurs...MAN!!

The Decision will be nothing compare to this.

People hated that he left CLE to go with other stars. Imagine if he decides to go the NBA Champion!

Now...if he comes...well...ill take it! Lebron as PG, Parker backup.

[100%duncan]

Lebron PF Kawhi Sf.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Lebron as Leonards backup sounds good to me. Hed be a solid contributer off the bench, give us a good 20 mpg

[ironman2886]

Lebron PF Kawhi Sf.

Basically.

[xmas1997]

Hypothetically, I think it would be TP as PG, KL as SG, LJ as SF, TD as PF, and TS as C.
But it will never happen, James would be thought of as bandwagoning and the Spurs would be hated.

[tholdren]

james looks ing old and worn down. 's not gonna age gracefully at all. Looked like Oden during GM1.

Dude is 40 I bet. You know how they do. He was 20 something in HS.

Spurs 3-peat with that lineup easily. Spurs don't give a 5hit about the media, and Lebron doesn't either.

FIFY

Lebron had a NEWS CONFERENCE to tell THE MEDIA how HE DIDNT CARE what THE MEDIA THINKS

http://m.espn.go.com/nba/story?storyId=11044484

Any time he calls out his "haters" or states "he dont got no worries" or creates instagram videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oBWW3V8ETE

He ACTUALLY DOES CARE... see what he is ?trying to do?

This thread needs to die tbh.

This thread needs to die tbh.

Don't post in it then.

[Jimcs50]

The only way we can clear enough salary cap space to offer LeBron a max contract this summer would be if Duncan opts out, we waive Parker, and then renounce the rights to Diaw and Mills.

That's far too much to give up for LeBron.

Lebron could play for the minimum. He makes 70 million in othet income.

He could break Michael's record 6 les if he cam to SA.

[kaji157]

While comming here and be fathered by pop, tim, tony and manu would do him wonders in almost every aspect of his life.
It wont make up for the fact that he aspires to be like Jordan, and any star player on the spurs will also be put under the Tim Duncan frame which is not what he wants.
He doesn´t want to be the next Duncan or surpass Ducan, he wants to surpass MJ. The Spurs supporting cast cannot assure him a 3 peat. Manu and TD are just very old for that .

I'm like that right now tbh...

Dude couldn't have done more to help his team win. His efficiency was spectacular.

[spurs1990]

Decently enough the espn reporter and noted James sycophant Chris Brousard mentioned San Antonio when listing teams with cap space for 2015 if James decided to wait a year.

[Jenks]

Spurs don't give a 5hit about the media, and Lebron doesn't either.

Did you read that on the Lebron app?

I remember during "The Decision" thinking that he was a pretty low key guy who didn't care about the media.

Just for grins. Lebron does hold the hammer and this wouldn't be bad for Miami. Just look at the results though.

Mills and Joseph PG
Green, LBJ, Manu SG
LBJ, Claw, Beli SF
Duncan, Diaw, Baynes, Ayres, Haslem, Bigs

Roster goes 9-11 deep. LBJ and Manu can also play point forward, Baynes is ready for the next step in the rotation. Manu goes down? Who cares. Still lethal.

Fun to dream. I don't think management would do it due to TONY. He took less money to stay and did a great job of running the O. I don't even know if I would want to see it. The pressure put on opposing defenses would be totally unstoppable.

74-8 in regular season. 16-0 in playoffs.
