The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
clippers make way more sense

Chris Paul is already there

They salary dump deandre for whatever

Sign Lebron

Trade griffin for Melo

Not sure how they get wade in there but if Lebron wants to play with all of them, the clippers is the easiest path there

I was thinking the same thing. I also think he'd respect Doc more than Luke. Only real reason to choose the Lakers would be the prestige factor but you're getting the same market with the Clippers, possibly more liberty to mold the team in your image, and he'd potentially bring titles to two teams that never had any. They're also an intriguing option. Although the Lakers have more young talent and a top 3 pick to work with.

actually it doesn't make any sense.

the salary cap is 94million this summer. The Clippers have 77 million on the books for the summer, which gives them 19m in cap space. A max for LeBron is 30m. Unless he took an 11m paycut, it couldnt happen unless they moved some pieces. Trading Chris Paul and Blake Griffin is out of the question considering they both have early termination options on their contracts after next season. Trading De'Andre is hustling backwards. They could move Reddikk possibly, but could only fetch a more expensive contract unless they just give him up for peanuts.

Meanwhile, Lakers have the most cap space in the league as of now. They will legit have close to 60m in cap room, possibly more. They could sign atleast 2 max players, possibly 3 if the Jordan Clarkson situation is handled properly.

DO I see this happening, no...But Lakers make more sense financially.

No reason to leave the Cavs now.

He brought a ring. He should retire with them. And try to win a couple more

You got Kyrie, you got Love who I think will continue to Gel better as time goes on and is capable of big scoring nights.

Add to the fact that Kyrie and Love both have championship pedigree/experience now.

What possible reason does he have to leave Cleveland now? None.

Don't know if LeBron would play in Kobe shadow because you know that's what sports talking heads would say. Clippers make more sense.

That would be the only way he can be better than Jordan. Bring a title to the Lakers then the bulls

None of them strike me as this stupid or tone deaf that they'd float this story out literally the DAY AFTER winning a championship. SAS making shyt up or being toyed with by someone
Who said they floated it yesterday? They have been floating these stories for months when it looked like they were not going to beat the Warriors. SAS being saying this since the playoffs started and before when LeBron was subtweeting and working out with DWade in Miami...

That n1gga must get paid for churning up the propaganda machine to get elite players to go to Miami or L.A. That's what all his rumors are based on.

When will people realize Stephen A doesn't have the sources he claims to have and constantly talks out his ass.
when that's true.... but it isn't


you see this man at damn near every game... he's in the back rooms, he's getting texts from players and celebs live on air, he constantly brings up not just the players he knows, but how their friends, moms, and cousins have his number as well and tell him shyt


and you think he just goes out there and talks out his ass for 20 some years and nobody caught him? no other reporter would tell on him to get his spot... espn would pay him 3 milly a year for lies and bullshyt?




the problem is nobody ever listens to the words and just goes with the talking points


his EXACT words were... "i DO NOT think he will leave. but what i'm HEARING is, IF he did leave, LA is a very good POSSIBILITY" now all it would take is 1 phone call to lebron's boys... and one of them say... "shyt if bron leaves he might think of la" boom... 1 source


that quickly turned into... SAS says lebron is going to LA... that's not what he said at all
