t-dot till they bury me
Toronto may be top 2 destinations for putting himself in a position to win....however, when the Raps eliminate Bron this year, the backlash he'd receive from joining them (even though it would make basketball winning sense) would be horrendous.

You thought KD was bad?...everyone loves to hate Bron, and even though I think KD's decision is the ultimate bytch move, Bron would be killed in the media (undeservingly)

Anyway, I dont think we dont have the space to sign him....someone figure out the #s for me

You currently don't have the space to sign anyone other than a rookie, exception, or minimum salary vet unless you clear cap the size of DeRozan's contract, then you'd have like 3mil in room :heh:

Philly would be dope.Wouldn't even be mad at Bron for ressurecting the Sixers :blessed:

This is becoming my favorite too. Let Simmons handle the ball and thus extend Lebron's career without him having to do so much.

And can you imagine an NBA team fielding a starting lineup where Lebron is the shortest player? :gladbron:

6'10" Simmons
6'9" Covington
6'8" Lebron
6'10" Saric
7'0" Embiid


Who could defend against that team? :wow:

And the passing lanes would be ridiculous to get through with those wingspans in the way....they might even run some sort of zone with Embiid in the middle. :patrice:

If Fultz can come back and do anything they could put him in as a low-pressure scoring spark off the bench, surround him with Bayless, Luwawu, Holmes, and pick up a defensive big in the draft like Jaren Jackson Jr. or Robert Williams with the Lakers pick...that's a serviceable bench. I forgot - they have their own pick as well. And with Lebron there some useful vets like Jeff Green or Tony Allen might sign too.

If he goes to the Raptors or Celtics (hopefully not) after we both go to the ECF this year he's going to look weak.

I dont see how this works.

We all know lebrons game. He excels with guys that can shoot outside at a high clip. That gives him opportunity to take it to the rack and kick it out or lay it in.

These guys just clog the lane . This is why greg oden didnt work on the heat and shaq on the cavs.

He also needs someone that can run the floor on fast breaks.

Toronto doesn't need him. In all honesty Bron should just stay in Cleveland, collect his super max, and ride off into the sunset.

The true story will be told in the playoffs whether Boston and Toronto can actually get by LeBron in a 7 game series. If Bron dominates the east in the playoffs this year he should just stay in Cleveland.
