    I’ll play along this game. IF the Spurs get Lebron in this fantasy world, do you think the rest of the roster will be good enough to win it all? I’m talking about supporting cast, bigs, etc etc.
    Yes, because if SA has Murray/White/Kawhi/Bron/LMA I definitely think that core is good enough.

    If Leonard is healthy and back to what he was, and LA takes more of a role without crying like a , yes they could. Lebron is such a game changer. When he leaves teams they basically win 10 games..

    Green isn't bron's boy. I don't understand why posters keep believing this... the only time they hung out in the offseason was post 13' in the club.

    Lebron has had enough of shooting guards hitting backboard and getting blown by on defense. Green is in no way irreplaceable.

    How much longer until we get a thread called "Is Lebron worth it?" made by an autist poster who overvalues our scrubs (Danny, Rudy, Mills, Pau, etc)
    his is already happening subtly in some way

    The prominent ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith reported recently that James planned to speak to six teams in addition to the Cavaliers. Philadelphia, Houston, Miami and the Lakers were all mentioned — as were the juggernaut responsible for James’s 1-8 record in his last nine finals games (Golden State) and his longtime Eastern Conference nemesis (Boston). I’ve also been advised that the ever-persuasive San Antonio Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich is bound to try to force his way into the conversation to sell James on the merits of South Texas. - Marc Stein

    Im gaining more and more confidence Kawhi will sign something whether that means he stays or is traded eventually.

    I kind of want LeBron to go to Golden State just to show the NBA is an even bigger joke than it is right now.

    I’ll keep playing. Haha. Danny Green will be a lock to return if Lebron lands here. Green is one of Lebron’s boys. So is Kawhi. Plus Green would be rejuvinated playing with both of them.
    Not for that low price. He already supposedly gave up $20M in '15. He can probably command the MLE for 3 years right now. That's another 20ishM he'd be turning down and because of the Spurs lack of flexibility going forward, I believe they could only pay him 120% of his salary if he opted out after the first year.

    And I don't see why the 76ers would want to tie up significant money in Mills, a matchup dependant role player, when they already have essentially a bigger, better version, in Re and their core will become very expensive relatively soon.

    Brown loves Mills and I'm sure he sees Patty as a McConell improvement. Mills' contract would also come to an end about the same time they will need to start paying Simmons and Embiid.

    Man, Lebron would make the Spurs instant contenders but he's such a narcissistic drama queen that it could be sickening. Just play and let your game do the talking. SHUT UP.

    Pop loves Hill and before injuries apparently derailed his career, he was a Mills improvement . . . yet they didn't sign him (and before you say Pop loves Mills too, Brown loves McConnell). That doesn't mean a whole lot if you don't perceive the player to be a fit for your team at a particular time.

    The role Mills would play their can and should be filled for cheap. They just did it with Belinelli and they're grooming Korkmaz with the hopes of his eventually filling it. Even though he's fallen out of favor, they also still have Bayless.

    Except he has grown up a lot now. I think since the Dallas series he really matured. Plus, wouldn't it be great having him front the camera. I am sure LMA and Leonard wouldn't mind that one bit.

    That is literally what he did. Nobody knew he broke his hand until after the series. He even made sure not to wear the cast on his hand around the media until after the series.

    I genuinely don't get why people are so offended by how he handled his injury. I guess it's because I'm an NHL fan, and it's common practice for NHL players to hide injuries in the playoffs and only reveal them after their season is over.

    So why talk about it at the Press Conference ? Why even bring it up at all? He bruised his hand, he didn't "pretty much played with a broken hand". He played hard, he played great and no one thought otherwise. That's the stuff I'm talking about. I'd love for him to play on the Spurs and I'm pretty certain Leonard would be thrilled not to be the voice of the franchise. LaMarcus? I think he enjoys the cameras too.

    LeBron is just doing as he's been told. Writers had to find a way to explain his failure this time. He's been controlled since the beginning. Look at the interview where he explains why his changing Jersey numbers. Most scripted response ever. Anyway, it's amusing to say the least, but it's all part of the image the league has created for him. Branding and whatnot. Entertainment.

    Might just keep Kawhi happy in SA. LMA, I am not too sure about. However, with the exponential increase in media attention that would accompany LeBron to SA, Aldridge might get more attention than he ever would otherwise in SA.

    Pop will get a courtesy meeting out of respect, but it's not happening.

    Even if Lebron warms up to the idea of joining Spurs, Maverick Carter and the important personalities around James would not be too eager; they may even openly push against it.

    San Antonio is just too disadvantaged by its market for this Lebron pipe dream to come true. It simply boils down to that.

    When James meet with his people they will make a compromise choice, and it will be either Houston, Boston, or Philadelphia.

    LeBron doesn't need the market.... he is the market. He'll make his decision based on two things 1) lifestyle and 2) where he has the best chance to win.
