jackofarcades posted:I'm not sure there's any move for either Lebron or the Cavs to get better. I don't know where Lebron can go that could reasonably sign him to a max and beat the Warriors. Who needs a max? Lebron has made a lot of money and will make more with endorsements. Sign to the Spurs with CP3 and make the WCF great again.

Sign to the Spurs with CP3 and make the WCF great again. i think he got a lot of heat from his…well Heat days for taking less money. the players union doesn't want to see max level players sacrificing money because then teams will pressure other stars to take less money, devaluing players' worth. at least, i think i remember that being a thing. as for him going to the spurs, i'm not saying it's likely to happen, but he has a player option in 2018 and that's the year the spurs' cap space is cleared by like 50 million or so

Lebron's going to stay and valuable free agents will flock to his side in Cleveland for little money to beat the warriors and they're going to hire me as coach

https://sports.yahoo.com/first-round-prospect-diagnosed-potentially-career-ending-disorder-233438983.html Jonathan Jeanne has Marfan syndrome and may never play. I wonder if he'll get the honorary jersey treatment,, or is that for first round prospects only Apparently Stan is still trying to trade Drummond and Reggie Jackson

I don't know why but I extremely respect this. EvanTH posted:repeating request for new thread title It's really important. -- Regarding Lebron chat, Lebron has always had a good relationship with the Buss family, and actually met with the Lakers several times before returning to Cleveland. My general take on it was that it was just a negotiating tactic, because the Lakers are a legit boogeyman to Dan Gilbert.

RaySmuckles posted:he'd be a perfect off the bench guy and mentor to dejounte (he's even signaled that how he sees the future- new manu off the bench) This is what's going to happen assuming he comes back from injury near what he was playing at this last year. He had one bad game in the playoffs before he got injured, but outside of that he was great. Give him a chance to go up against bench guards and he's going to torch them for a few more years.

Femur posted:lol they're screwed, I get why Lebron is floating the leave narrative once again. TT and Irving have been are relative disappointments, they ain't gonna carry old LeBron to jack poo poo. I appreciate that Kyrie choose style over substance through. Steph just teabagged your homecourt. Kyrie has been one of the best players in the NBA this season and TT has been perfectly fine. Cavaliers went 12-1 in the playoffs up till now. There was a lot of basketball this season to draw better conclusions than against one of the best assembled teams ever that will be nearly impossible to replicate again.

If the union didn't want max players taking less than their worth than they should not have a max contract. I don't see why the union, which has capped salaries so that the middle of the union makes more money, would give a poo poo if some guy voluntarily takes less.

The league is in a different place now and he won't be able to even threaten PGs defensively. He would struggle with most SGs, too. He would basically be defending SFs primarily and would have to be in a system where defenses don't switch as much, which might be a rarity that many years in the future. e: and I don't see him agreeing to come off the bench in a sixth man kind of role

Yeah, I agree with you, but I do think there may be a couple years where he won't have the athleticism to guard the Wing, but would still be fine against most 4s. But it's Lebron so who knows, I thought he'd be slowing down way more by now.

It wouldn't guarantee injury, but would increase the risk, imo. I think he would still be best guarding SFs in most matchups as he gets older. His defense will be the first thing to fall off as he ages and the more he slides down in position, the more that lesser defense affects the team.

I think he would still be best guarding SFs in most matchups as he gets older. theres two sides of the court and his floor on offense is draymond green. dismissing it out of hand with something as spurious as injury concerns is weird. and i think you drastically overestimate how slow age makes you. paul pierce right now is agile enough to play the 4 idk how you could think lebron wouldnt be
