How likely is LeBron James to join the Spurs this summer?

[John B]

Dedmon is still in contract with Hawks at 6.3mil. They will come in bunches once LeBron sign. How about Noel? He is unrestricted at only 24. Is he a bust?

[sasaint]

Lebron needs to realize that Kawhi is 26 (going to be 27 in a few weeks), he is younger than what they have in Houston, and if Chris Paul hurts himself again, they wont beat Golden State.

To each his own, I still say to this day, the biggest mistake he made in Cleveland was forcing Wiggins out, he needs to surround himself with younger players, not players late in their careers. Look at Tim Duncan, he was able to win at 38 years old. With Kawhi, he is looking at another 5 year window in San Antonio, where he doesn't have to lead the organization, doesnt have to be the best player on the court, doesnt have to play 40+ minutes, etc.

If he goes to Houston, he will be in the same scenario with a different cast, where he will have to be carrying the load, and his team will begin to heavily rely on him.

I can't see Harden "heavily relying" on LeBron.

If Lebron has designs on transitioning into an ownership role in retirement like Jordan, Spurs might be his quickest path. If current ownership is divorcing, the franchise could be for sale in the relatively near future. Timing might even coincide nicely with his retirement. He’ll never get one of the LA teams and Gilbert probably wouldn’t sell the Cavs to him out of spite.

I think the league is kind of lining up behind us. Everyone is done with those pricks in GS, and would love to see Lacob stuck with a payroll and tax bill of $400M, and not ring.

Dedmon was a great fit when he was here and it sure would be nice to get him back if we could. Noel is a turd.

Well said. Tons of reasons for LeBron to choose Spurs.

[Spurtacular]

if lebron signs it'll be interesting to see how much $ tony would be willing to resign for.

That er is getting vet min either way. You think the Spurs are spending valuable dollars on that legacy contract?

If Spurs can sign LeBron, sign Kawhi to supermax and still have Aldridge, etc. Tony would be drooling to be on the roster, Spurs could definitely sign him to a very cheap deal.

You are right, they never do it. Oh, wait.

[Spurtacular]

It's different this time around; everyone knows that he's done. He's truly a legacy contract.

[Spurtacular]

Lebron James is in San Antonio looking for Timmy Duncan.

Yessir.

He gonna get him out of retirement?

[Spurtacular]

I feel the Spurs are legitimately the 4th option behind Cleveland, LAL, and Philly. I put us just ahead of Houston.

I have us and Philly as top two, tbh. But three through five or six are not far behind.

[007nites]

I heard that Timmy and D-Rob will be joining the meeting with Pop as well. Things could get very interesting.

[hooperflash]

He gonna get him out of retirement?

I was just thinking that lol

[cd021]

Yeah, wasn't referring to CLE specifically. Just in general, attaching Ingram would be enough to move Deng to any team with the capspace.

Pretty much the same thing that I have been saying. Deng should be easily movable so long as L.A is willing to throw in one of their higher picked prospects. Lonzo would be the most likely to be moved because of his poor fit with LeBron.

[cd021]

No matter how I slice it, i justcant see Gilbert helping LA to create a super team by trading Lebron for crap. He can just start renting his cap space this summer to teams with GOOD picks.

This summer? Even if LeBron leaves, they would still have five players making at least $12.5 million and would also have a payroll that would be able $10 million over the cap.

The year after, they will still have Love, Smith, Clarkson, and Thompson on the books- they probably won't have all that much cap, and other teams will. I don't think that is a viable option for the next couple of seasons ,anyway, for them- thus the potential for a trade that nets them Lonzo and a couple of picks.

[Drewlius]

Sorry if this has been asked before but do the Spurs have more cap flexibility/room if they were to sign Lebron or other FAs before Kawhi signs the Supermax deal or does it not effect their available funds either way?

[cutewizard]

would be really cool closing out games with:
lebron/manu/kawhi/la/dedmon
