I don't get it. Why? That roster and franchise are a train wreck.
I dont see him going to CLE at all. Why? Doesnt make sense.
If he wants to win (duh!) the smart thing to do is to stay in the east, and get to the finals every season.
He knows that he can take team to the finals almost by himself.
I just hope he goes to PHI...what about WAS!
I just realized something - isn't the salary cap going up to $63 mil this year? So then we'd have more like $15 million to work with....
The Clippers have $73.6 million in committed salary. They need to drop that to $45 million or so to have any hope of getting James.
1.) A lot of roster flexibility (similar to the Celtics pre-2008, with Kyrie playing the Al Jefferson role)
2.) Just some delusional Cleveland Fan BS that I won't get into.
Not sure how much he cares about $, but if he can opt out, sign a cap friendly contract with the Heat for 2 additional years, and force the Heat to upgrade the roster.
Another way is to sign a lower than market value contract with a team that requires offensive production, like the Grizzlies, but that would require Randolph to opt out, and may need a sign and trade. Highly doubtful that would happen.
He can also, as mentioned earlier, sign with the Wizards, but Wall is a ball dominant player, and I am unsure if his playing style works with that of Lebron.
Finally, sign with the Spurs for $8M a year, he will still be the obvious top dog, but his legacy will be totally destroyed. But in this scenario, he can win a few more championships before the entire Spurs roster is done.
