NBA: Will Kawhi and LeBron on the same team ever happen?

[Buddy Mignon]

No way Lebron is going to dumb down his game to play with the Re .

Will the NBAs easily #1-2 best players ever be on the same team?

Why LeBron signed a 2 year deal with the Cavs after the 2016 season is a head scratcher for me.

All his deals have a player option for the second season for him to have leverage and react to market conditions as well as power balance shifts. If he had wanted to go to the Spurs this season he could have. It was pretty established he wasn't leaving Cleveland after this season. But the thought is that he only wants to get his ass handed to him by the Dubs so many times; so, maybe after this season, he'll consider joining up with Kawhi and Pop.

I'd like to have Kevin Durant with Lebron. If I had Kawhi, I'd like to have Kevin Durant. Outside of KD, I would like to have Anthony Davis join Kawhi or to have KAT join Lebron.

yuck

?
If you could pick from any ONE NBA player to join either one of them who would it be besides Kwa or LeBron?

For Kawhi it's AD.

Wait that somewhat is in play.

yuck

Davis with Leonard would be amazing. You stow away amazing players on teams and you ignore how good they are. If Davis decides he's going to save-a-ho in New Orleans, he's going to have a long career of being up and coming. He needs to move on. He won't.

I'd take Lebron over anyone, but there are better options for each of KL and LBJ than each other. I'd take KD over Leonard. Only a fool wouldn't. That's from the start though. Given the scenario, either could be better than the other.

i'd take gobert over davis any day. Sure davis myght turn out good at some point, but so far he's been a top 40 player at best.

Lebron won't be looking at it through that specter. If Kawhi gives him the best chance to ring, then it could be on.

No. In summer of '16 after the Cavs took out the Warriorettes, Lebron signed a 3 year deal with the 1st two locked in then a 3rd year player option. Option not open up til summer 2018.

Again I don't know why he did that. He and Kwa could be combining this summer.
Perhaps he greatly overestimated how well his friends would play along with Kardashian checking out.

Nike would have to confiscate all those practice tapes if they ever play together.

Well, I think he planned on two years in Cleveland either way after winning the le would be why; because if he had lost this year, he couldn't have walked away without trying to avenge the loss or he'd get too clowned in the media. And he looks like he's all in with three years (really two) rather than the one and we'll see approach he had initially taken. But if he loses twice in a row to GS, then it's like they can sell that he just needs to go to a better situation like the Lebron nut hugging media always does. But walking away after losing two of three without trying to even it, even the guzzlers at ESPN can't sell that one as alpha.

Gobert over Davis? Sure, if you don't need offense.
