Disagree. Aldridge is better than any of LeBron's teammates and Kawhi is nearly as good as LeBron himself when healthy.

Only way I see it is if Kawhi demands a trade which I don’t see happening.
LeBron James is not going to come here
Well, part of the problem is that the Cavs have too many wannabe stars and former starters. When I watched the game a couple weeks ago between them and the Spurs, every time someone checked in I thought: "he plays for them too???". Jeff Green, Derrick Rose, Kyle Korver, Iman Shumpert, Jose Calderon, and Dwyane Wade have all either been stars at some point or have started on another team. They have ZERO true role players. Everybody still wants their piece of the pie. That's why the Cavs suck so bad. They are overtalented by a lot. LBJ, while he might hate it, would benefit greatly from having actual role players. Guys who are happy with their minimal/singular role on the team.
Lebron needs to take a Durant pay cut around to a 26mil salary if he wants to dethrone him.
the cavs doing so bad makes me more optimistic about him coming here.
Not that I would do it, but I wonder if the teams (Spurs and Cavs) would be cool with swapping Kawhi and Lebron straight up.
Then we'd just be the Cavs. Can't give up our superstar for LeBron to come here.
fingers crossed
The Cavs have the worst defense on the league, the Spurs have the best. We would be trading a guy that hasn't played the entire season for the best player in the World.
Again, I'm not saying I would do it (specially having the future in mind), but for this season the improvement would be huge.
Give us the Brooklyn pick and we’ve got a deal...
There are many plausible reasons why Lebron would want to go to the Spurs:
- Serious chance to open up max (his last big contract)
- He wants to go out in the best possible way
- Respects Pop
- Respects the franchise
- Kawhi
Just some of them - anyone else cares to add?
The ghost of MJ. He chasin
Lebron isn't coming here. Can't say it enough. Or at least I'd give it less than a 10% chance. Too many better options for him. Spurs are old, and we're not even sure our best player wants to be here at this point. He could easily be on another team next year if he doesn't sign the SuperMax extension this summer.
-Rockets
-Lakers
-Sixers
Those are his best options imo, in that order. HOU seems most likely and would be able to compete with GS immediately, even if they do lose Ryan Anderson, Trevor Ariza, and Clint Capela in the process.
best options for Lebron
1- 76ers
2- Celtics
3- Rox
Possible, but highly improbable.
He respects Pop, but Lebron also likes to be in charge, which he clearly wouldn't be here. It's Pop's show in SA, and I think Lebron would be uncomfortable with that, especially at this point in his career.
Kawhi is great obviously, but like I stated above, we're not even sure he wants to be here, and from the sounds of it Lebron has no relationship with him whatsoever (whereas he's great friends with CP3 & Harden). HOU also has D'Antoni, who is a player's coach, who I think Lebron would like to play for and is a much better fit compared to Pop.
I think people are sleeping on the Sixers. Don't think he'll actually sign there, but they're a dark-horse if he decides to stay in the East (they have the Max space for him, picks to trade, and they could still bring in another good player with him too). Only concern would be with he and Simmons playing together, as they're kind of similar and both ball-dominant. Might be a weird fit.
If he leaves Cleveland, it will be for the Western Conference. He'd get killed for leaving Cleveland to join another Eastern Conference contender.
Obviously James would never sign here anyway, but for those of you thinking one of their angles in the pitch can be about organizational stability, that's out the window. Between the Aldridge fiasco and Leonard saga, rightly or wrongly, they've cemented their reputation as an organization that doesn't know how to deal with superstars and stars outside of the big 3.
apparently Lebron has narrowed his wish list:
To be expected
Kevin O'Conner
Isn't this the got who had Dwight Howard staying with the Flamers, etc etc?
WTF would he leak his wish list now?
