Broussard thinks LeBron should choose San Antonio over all other teams

[Keepin' it real]

It's not a mysterious injury

Its quadriceps Tendinopathy. That's been reported already.

Sounds mysterious.

[baseline bum]

Houston is the front runner...

I stated that on here before season started..

Spurs gotta have things in place in order to make a pitch to LeBron. That was the biggest issue this offseason regarding Paul..there were too many moving parts to truly grasp what the team will look like..even if the final product was better than Houston.

At least the Spurs know what they have player/salary wise this go around. Houston will have to get creative with moving parts and other things must happen first. Meanwhile Spurs can move players like Mills or Gasol etc.

CP3-Harden-LeBron or Kawhi-LeBron-LMA

Rockets trio is better/easier sell imo. They’re all friends they all play different positions and the system they’d play in would be fun. Spurs trio imo would match up better against GSW due to size and GSW not being able to guard anyone of those guys..but everything outside of that favors Houston.

Like Broussard says tho “strictly ball” Spurs make most sense..but life for LeBron living in SA isn’t a good fit at all.

James isn't going to Houston. He already said he will never play for less than max. So that's $35 million for James. Harden is making $30.4 million next year. CP3 should get $30 million at least, so that leaves $5.6 million under the cap, which isn't enough to pay the cap hits for the nine empty roster spots. Nevermind it ignores how the Rockets could ever get someone to take Ryan Anderson's $20.4 million, PJ Tucker's $8 million, and Eric Gordon's $13.5 million. The cap is only going to be $101 million next summer.

The media would lose their ....

Warriors have already publicly stated their biggest concern is the Spurs..

There’s no giving a reality check to some fans...

[Darius Bieber]

LeBron would sign with the Jazz before he signs with the Spurs tbh

Well Houston has made it known their desperate and if LeBron and Paul can play together who knows what $$ they’d take.

Sure it's been reported. So being reported makes it no longer mysterious? He just gets this condition out of the blue?

[DMC]

James either stays in Cleveland or he goes to NY. He could bank in LA as well, but the stench of Kobe still permeates that building. He doesn't want to be part of that rebuilding from years of fellating a gelding.

[cd98]

LeBron is only going somewhere that will give him a chance to win and bulk up his legacy with the possible exception of LA for business reasons, but LA would still need to hit home runs in free agency to make the team attractive enough for LeBron.

I can’t see LeBron going to NY without significant changes.

[Seventyniner]

True, but has Lebron ever had a coach/management worthy of respect?

Fixed.

[UZER]

Please.

LeBron respects Pop. Big deal. So does every other player that says "I would love to play for Pop" but finds every excuse in the book to never come here. Then the one guy that finally said yes asks to be traded 2 years later.

[Mr. Body]

Brook-lyyyyyn.

JK. Have no idea.

Because Pop yells at them and makes them cry. Pussies.

Not out of the blue. It's an over use injury. He overworked it somehow in the summer I would guess. My bet is he was pissed about getting knocked out of the playoffs so he pushed it too hard and too soon and ignored the pain or tried to push through it for a little while.

[Bill_Brasky]

Lebron is such a jew, no way he comes here for the peanuts that we inevitably offer.

[Mal]

How can Spurs have salary space after resigning Green, Parker and Anderson.

[Darius Bieber]

He wouldn't come to this trash team.

[DJR210]

He respects Pop, so...

Fixed.

Both my exact points

[Hoops Czar]

He respects Pop, so...

Has there ever been a player who doesn't respect Pop other than RJ, Stephen Jackson, Jonathon Simmons, Dewayne Dedmon, David West... ya know what, has there ever been a player that's never played for Pop that doesn't respect him at least in public?

[dbreiden83080]

And I would not want him.. I have no interest in Lebron trying to rent us out for 1 more ring. I hate players moving around so much, and all time legends like him should not be doing that.. Jesus Duncan was a Spur for 19 years..

[DenialTwist]

Why would Lebron want to play with an aging roster? He's already on the oldest roster in the NBA. Plus like Jalen Rose said recently, players are hesitant to come to SA because of Pop, SA's system, limited minutes which affects their stats, etc...Lebron is probably going to the Rockets.

[daslicer]

Lebron is in an interesting crossroad at this point of time of his career. He's desperate to win as many les as possible to enhance his legacy but can't win with the way the Cavs are constructed. I don't know how he gets to play for the Rox,Spurs, since those teams don't have cap space unless he's willing to play for cheap. Cavs could possibly do a sign and trade to help him land in those places but that will still be tough to set up. Lebron wants a quick fix but I don't think he's going to get it. He's going to have to accept that he's probably not going to win another le in his career.

I have said this for a while here when people get angry at LMA for wanting to score more points that most NBA players are like LMA and care about their stats. Look at even the Warriors and how Kerr will be playing guys like Klay,Dray,Curry,Durant in garbage time to pad their stats. I don't really blame them considering they are a lot of idiots on message boards like realgm that believe Duncan is not a top 10 player because he never had seasons where he scored close to 30 a game. My point is that these players know that most people will base how great they are on how inflated their stats are. The spurs systems prevents players from inflating their numbers and thus decreases their value.

[Raven]

cans confirm

[John B]

But plays longer in years > shorter inflated stat career. Overall SA players get that money playing longer years. Depends if LeBron can take limited minutes, role player type when he is no longer in prime but still able to contribute. Jordan wanted out in his prime, but came back wasted his time with Wizards. Kobe playing hurt but losing. But every year Spurs have always been there, so Manu, Tony and now Gasol get to play compe ively, at highest level past their prime. Will LeBron like that eventually? I think so and still have a chance at winning a ring or two
