Fantasy Scenario: Would you trade for James?

[703 Spurz]

He's LeBron James, dude... He can play every position and has 4-5 solid years left of being the best player in the game. It's no secret that our players are mostly system players and can be re-plugged with additional talents if necessary.

If you were to trade Leonard, Splitter, and Parker, who starts at center? Bonner? If James runs the point, who's the SF? If he's the SF, who runs the point? Joseph?

But he need superfriends to win. TD and Manu as his superfriends? Or Boris and Green? Spurs without Parker, Kawhi and Splitter?

It seems grim but in the case this happened I trust our FO with solutions.

[snickles]

He has too high of a price tag to trade for. I would only go after LeBron in free agency.

this.

the spurs have proven they can beat the 1-man team. why gut the roster and make basically the 1-man team we just beat?

On short term it would be more difficult to win a 'ship the next season with so many holes in the roster. Soon after that Duncan and Manu could retire causing more problems. On long term the Spurs would have an ideal franchise player to built a team around, but LeBron already left the Cavs, and chances are he's a gonner from the Heat, may as well leave the Spurs. He will probably lose his cool before RC can build a 'ship team around him. So, I wouldn't do it.

Now that the FA's know the Spurs are for real, RC just has to keep improving the 10 man rotation without any player eating all the cap space. After re-signing Diaw and Patty, Gasol for the MLE as a backup-C and a serviceable backup-SF (Pierce) should be good enough to repeat.

I voted yes but i didn´t see which players were involved.
I would go as far as two of Tony, Manu and Green and Splitter to make it work plus fillers. But that is as far as i go.
