in before.... if Lebron wanted to play for the Spurs, I'd say no... he is not Spurs material
Lebron is considered the best player in the league right now but there seems to be some lofty expectations on him as a scorer. I don't believe scoring has ever been his strength or what made him great. It's his overall game. Kobe, Durant and Melo are much better scorers than he is.
When James becomes a free agent, it seems to me that he would be a perfect fit for the Spurs' system. Do you think he would want to come here and would you as a Spurs fan want him ?

Even if Lebron wanted to play for San Antonio, I don't think the people around him would ever allow that to happen.
No , I'd want him. I'm sure he would too, but the market-size would play too much of a factor in his decision.
is Larry Bird available, the Spurs could add him, lol
ohhhhhh i forgot, Larry Legend is retired..............
No fan in their right mind would say they wouldn't want LeBron on their team. So yeah, I'd love to have him.
Will he ever come here? Definitely no, especially if he loses to us again this year. He will probably hate SA forever.
No thank you. Hope that loser goes to the Bucks, tbh.
If he signed for a lot less than what he's making now...sure give him a shot. In other words, it's not happening.
I wouldn't mind him being on the Spurs. The biggest weakness to his game is mental. The Spurs are perfect for fixing that.
Dumb thread. No way he ever comes to SA.
If he had not already won a ring then I would say yes. Only when he is 38, looking 50 and doesn't have much left in the tank. A la Moses Malone, 'Nique, Willis, Finley, T Mac, etc. etc. etc.
Would love to have Lebron on the Spurs. Pick and Role with him and Parker would be unstoppable. He won't come to SA. If he did, he would have to live with the "if you can't beat them, join them" tag on his career.
Pairing himself with Kyrie Irving, Varejao, the City of Cleveland and an upcoming No. 1 draft pick is probably more alluring to him than anything the Spurs could offer.
That said, in the highly unlikely scenario that he would join the Spurs he would probably win at least 2 more championships with:
the best coach in the league in Gregg Popovich
elite point guard Tony Parker
sharpshooting Danny Green
rising star Kawhi Leonard
and Duncan manning the middle.
The bench would include:
an aging but still productive Manu
an efficient (even if somewhat flawed) Tiago Splitter
an ever-confidence gaining Cory Joseph
If Lebron leaves, he needs to look for an elite coach. Pop would actually be a perfect coach for him.
Funnily enough I actually don't mind Lebron. Obviously he is an incredible player, but he seems like a great team mate too. Things like the Decision sour my opinion of him, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's constantly had bad advice.
He'll never come to San Antonio, although it would be a perfect fit for him to escape the glare of the media. He can't handle the pressure, but it's pressure all of his own making.
If LeBron ever plays for a legendary coach there really will be a 5peat.
If he actually came to the Spurs Chip Engelland would be the one that made LeBron invincible. Teach LeBron a consistent perfect jump shot that he could rely on in crunch time and he would be unstoppable.

He could win some championships here with Tony, Pop, the other young pups, and the system. But would he if he could...I don't see it. He'd rather have exposure, than increase his chances at winning. And tbh, that's his prerogative.
$tern wouldn't allow it. Oh wait I forgot, it will be Adam Silver who will be commissioner by the time Lebron becomes a free agent.
Pretty much what people have been saying. James desperately needs to find a good coach in a system that's already established and with teammates that already have experience with the team. It doesn't have to be the Spurs; Dallas would also be a good choice. I think he'd be better now if he had gone to the Mavs in 2010.
Fuk yes, Pop as his coach& Leanord could be his Pippen lol.
Basically the same premise.
no.
yes.and would you as a Spurs fan want him ?
If you can't beat them join them, am I right?
LeBron under the Spurs' system = championships every year
He is a do-all player and wouldn't be asked to score 30 PPG and instead spread the floor and do everything.
But he won't come here. He'll go back to Cleveland or go to Los Angeles.
