What makes you think the Spurs were interested in the first place.
He would play for Tottenham before San Antonio

Exactly. ing DG was rumored to be finished. A lot of good he did the Clips..who also tried Stephen Jackson out this year. If Lebron's agent called the Spurs, they would listen. If both parties wanted it to happen, it would happen. Forget all the logistics and salaries, my point was that the Spurs would be the best team for him to play for. Better than Miami, Cleveland, Lakers, etc.
Duncan, would have to opt out and resign for the vet min. That would put the Spurs at at around $44 million. If we resign Diaw thats about $50 million. probably would to move Joseph and Belinelli to have enough to resign Mills and sign Lebron for $15 million next year.
Thats not happening
Funny, i just thinking about commenting on the melo to spurs thread that I'd rather have lebron. But for my scenario, I'm keeping green, and TD's either retired or at a very discounted rate. Basically, a starting lineup of TP green, Kawhi, lebron and splitter. Tell me that's not a terror on both ends of the floor.
Edit: I was also gonna say that there was no way this would ever happen
The only way we can clear enough salary cap space to offer LeBron a max contract this summer would be if Duncan opts out, we waive Parker, and then renounce the rights to Diaw and Mills.
That's far too much to give up for LeBron.
Melo has no place on this team as he is pretty one-dimensional. He's a great scorer but he needs the ball way too much. The beauty of the Spurs' offense is that defenses can't focus on any one player. Everyone can hurt you.
Any scenario where Lebron signs here would have the Spurs paying over the cap. It would also mean Lebron taking less to play here than most anywhere else.
Okay, I'll rephrase.
"SA couldn't get [insert low-to-mid-level ing FA here] to sign."
Lebron James does not fit in the Spurs system. The amount of touches he needs every game will cause other players to slack on offense and stand around to watch instead of being active. It's counter-productive
While I don't think Lebron would EVER come to the spurs, I think this is wrong.
Lebron is a GREAT facilitator... He would flourish in the Spurs system. He is constantly trying to set his team mates up, they just suck. Lebron would feel pure ecstasy if he was with this current Spurs team. If he opts out, I wouldn't doubt that he at least THINKS about coming here (especially if we beat them with our role players on Sunday). He makes enough money else were. If he is serious about rings, he would be perfect here, we got the starting role players and the bench that he wants, it is a matter of how much he wants to be paid vs a Ring.
Hypothetically speaking, if he REALLY wanted a ring, we could offer him a 1yr contract with the promise in 2015 to pay him big, it all depends on how much he cherishes a ring this next year. He wont come, but if he opts out, the Spurs will at LEAST make an offer.

Pipe. ing. Dream.
He takes vet min to go back to Cleveland and team up with Jabari Parker. They sign Kevin love and filler. Or wait for Anthony Davis to become FA. King returns home. Lol
LeBron is the type of player who would appreciate being in a system like the Spurs, but not in his prime. I could see Bron signing up in 2019 (or so) though, when he's less effective and more of a roleplayer. He will likely stay with the Heat, go back to Cleveland, or sign with the Knicks.
If he does sign with the Knicks, I guarantee Phil Jackson will step out of the shadows and suddenly feel like coaching again.No way Fish coaches a LeBron-led team with Phil involved in the organization.
i think a more interesting pipe dream would be a cavs hire larry brown as team president. robert horry as coach. draft whoever lebron wants to play with. and lebron returns.
but i totally think Lebron would realize his potential to top Kobe and MJ by coming here. maybe even enter the Chamberlain/Russel convesation.
Didn't that ship already sail?
Are you literally implying that Russell is higher up on the list than Jordan?
wet dream
I can not imagine a player that calls himself ''The King'' under coaching of a guy named ''Gregg Popovich''
so is anyone going to pass me the crack pipe that was going around in the first page of this thread?
Why on Earth would LeBron leave the Heat for a Spurs team they cucked twice in a row?
lebron-diaw-leonard would be better than jordan-pippen-rodman tbh.
I figured out what you're doing finally. Well played.Why on Earth would LeBron leave the Heat for a Spurs team they cucked twice in a row?
