We could discuss the meaning of life but it this is sports and it is basketball.

Sad.

The Spurs want him and are willing to go over the cap. Doubt LeBron wants to play here. He is all about the glitz and glamour. He also wouldn't do well with Pop because Pop is in charge here. LeBron has a ton of respect for Pop, but wouldn't want to play for him. The only time he would play under Pop is the Olympics.

After a player like Rudy Gay (an aging star coming off an Achilles injury) opted out only to re-sign with the Spurs for a 1 year deal at 10 million, it seems 1% more likely.

Glad you have a chance

omg..

sign and trade LBJ for Kiwhi and Green?

With these signings, it appears it won't happen. It would actually require Lebron to not want to play with Leonard. And if it leaks that Lebron is signing with the spurs, Leonard's value hits rock bottom. Lakers and Clippers would offer as little as possible.

Nothing is stopping LeBron from signing with the Spurs on a 1 year deal and Spurs can keep Kawhi. Of course is it worth it to let Kawhi walk at the end of the season for a chance to compete for an NBA championship and get nothing. Both Leonard and LeBron would probably sign with the Lakers next season anyway but who knows.

We don't have the cap space. And there isn't enough space out there to dump Green/Gasol/Mills and get nothing back. In fact I looked at the numbers. To sign Lebron for 36mil, we would need to trade all three guys, renounce all our restricted players, and only take back 2mil. It just won't happen.

Agree. Lebron likes to say he would love to play with Pop, he would never actually do it.

The customary courtesy nod from star players to a HOF coach.

Lebron will be here in 2022 when he's washed up and searching for a last pay day. Lebron is at the end of his career man. He doesn't have 4 years left at this level. I have no idea why people can't see that. Lebron is approaching his 16th season. They gave a MAX 4 YEAR CONTRACT TO A 16 YEAR VET??? hahaha. Magic really is dumb as .
