How?

Lebron, CP3 are solid are D. Josh Jackson has shown massive improvements and is solid?

LeBron doesn't play defense to conserve energy at his age. Booker doesn't play defense. Cp3 is good defensively but he is injury prone and well into his 30s only so long he can keep up with quick pgs. and defense was Aytons biggest weakness in college, what are NBA players going to do to him?

Lebron is a smart player. He conserves his energy because he’s pretty much had to do everything. Put him on a team with others he can rely on, he’ll be fine. SAme with CP3 to an extent.

We’ll see with Ayton. I think he’ll be fine. Not Great, but fine. Have if Defense is effort and he doesn’t appear to be a sloach.

U of A had Ayton playing on the perimeter at PF.Ristic was handling Center/big man duties.

Ayton's not bad at all in man to man.He has quick feet and can stay in front of you, it's just his spatial awareness.

Knowing when it's time to switch/rotate on D is his problem.That can probably get better with experience, tho.

He started off as a soccer player and barely started playing basketball 6-7 years ago.He has the tools to dominate.

I'm not worried about his defense right now.If we're having this same conversation 4-5 yrs from now, I'll be ready to write him off:francis:



But yeah, that squad with Bron would be interesting.

CP3
Book
Jackson
Bron
Ayton

TJ Warren off the bench as the ultimate 6th Man.I always said he was the SF version of Jamal Crawford.


The Suns are grooming LeBron's boy(James Jones) to become the GM, to

I posted LeBron to the Suns over a week ago. Glad to see people are finally realizing it'd be a good destination.

#1 pick (Ayton) for Karl-Anthony Towns, who is unhappy in MN, is also a possibility.

TJ Warren Josh Jackson and Troy Daniels for PG13

16th and 31st Chandler Knight Dudley for LeBron

Only thing left would be for CP3 to take a paycut, if he doesn't want to I'd talk to Rondo.

CP3 (or Rondo)
Booker
PG13
LeBron
Ayton (or KAT)

Lebron wants no parts of CP3 on his team, don't let their friendship fool you. Lebron has a lot of flaws but he's not dumb.

Current Lebron? U mean the guy who has to score every point for hjs team?
What does that have to do with him still being solid on D? He been washed for consistent D...y'all like to use the he has to score angle when I've seen several occasions him being garbage while passive on offense

Cp3
Booker
Jackson
Lebron
Ayton

And if they want they got assets to trade for a star too. Trade Jackson and a 2019 pick for a star power forward or something like that


But nah
