No. Even if Golden State doesn't win a ring their core can compete for the next say 3 or 4 years. Golden State's strength is the depth of the bench and they would have to give that up for a LeBron Jame who while still great is declining.

Golden state doesn’t even need lebron. Plus with all their young assets they can probably get a better younger player

Lebron should go to the Knicks and end his career with a bang. NYC would love him and it would be a media circus if he took them on a nice playoffs run

Imaging trading Randel back to LA to play with Westbrook:heh:

Any championships Lebron won with GS would not elevate his legacy.

Where would LA be able to trade Bron that A.) adding him makes them an title favorite/contender and B.) has the right mix of salary and prospects to make the deal feasible?

On top of that, he would have say in where you're trading him.

Lakers can trade LeBron's ass anywhere they like. It doesn't have to be to a contender. This ain't up to Bron. If Orlando or Sacremento wanna get a ticket boost or try and make the play-in, he can suit up for them :yeshrug:

No one but Klutch and Bron's stans gives a fukk about helping him add to his legacy.

Lol Warriors are trending upwards with their youth and are based on player movement. Why the hell would they trade for an aging player that's been struggling to make it to the playoffs and who pounds the ball?

This been floated around here and there, but imo we should just let the Bron era take its course and end. Unless we getting legit packages to start a full rebuild it’s no point. Just salvage what class and respectability is left between both parties and do better than last year. Laker fans know this team isn’t winning shyt, Bron can just give himself a proper sendoff and get Kareem’s record and call it a day.

STAY AHEAD OF HIM IN
THE RING COUNT AND

ITLL HELP HIM GET TO MJ RING COUNT.
:devil:
:evil:


You're acting like Steph is competing with Bron for legacy. :skip:

Steph is not surpassing Bron's legacy under ANY circumstances, that ship sailed long ago. No one involved is under any illusions there. Steph's legacy gains with Bron if playing with Bron extends his career and increases his titles. Steph's legacy loses with Bron if playing with Bron reduces his usage or decreases his titles. Steph's legacy has jack shyt to do with how many rings Bron has because Steph ain't never passing Bron under any circumstances.

Also, I've seen people throw out the idea of Golden State trading for Rudy Gobert (salary is 35Ms) but them entertaining trading for LeBron (salary is 41Ms) isn't realistic???

Golden State actually has young pieces to move, the money to match taking on a big contract, and the veteran roster that Bron absolutely would love playing with.

:mjlol: @ stop making threads. FOH
Them trading for Gobert who isn’t 30 yet & not having to give up Poole or Kuminga isnt the same.

You fasho trolling :lolbron:

Bron averaged 3.07 dribbles per touch this year. That was 142nd in the NBA, lower than Steph (4.06 dribbles per touch) and Poole (3.51 dribbles per touch).

How little basketball have you watched to believe that Bron hasn't excelled in a player movement offense? The 2013 Heat were arguably his greatest team and their movement was fantastic.

Don't say shyt just because other people on The Coli told you it was true.

We’re just now working to the end of the super team era. I do not want to go back to that

but for marketing’s sake It would be genius for that to happen. Just imagine :wow:
