No surprise that the trend of a "super team" will continue. Could he be joining forces with PG and Kanye Westbrook? Who else? I'd take Kyrie over RWB 10/10 but LA's cap space is mightily attractive compared to Cleveland. I'd be glad to see him finally put the "but he's too scared to go to the west" rhetoric behind him, even if it is with a stacked roster.

What a weird legacy he would have if he left his hometown team two times during his prime.

Home state team, but yeah, it'd be weird.

He's from Akron (a city notorious for hating Cleveland).

Also, while I'm at it, frick 94.7% of the state of ohio.

Would be weird having a superteam in SA.

I could get used to it.

He will not be in his prime. It will be his 16th year in the league. He's already not as physically dominant as he was in Miami.

Hasn't there been this speculation every offseason since he went back to Cleveland because of the 1 year deals? I don't think he leaves but we'll see.

Also, I like that he's likely to join a team IF he leaves. Good job Woj.

True. If that were to happen it would be his 16th season, though so I'm not sure "prime" is the right word-- but yeah, I feel you it would be a tough pill to swallow for the hometown. I guess if they lose to GS in the finals next year he's more likely to bounce but I could honestly see him leaving either way. If LA can put together a team that rivals GS in star power after being 1-3 against the warriors in the finals, I can't really blame him since the emphasis is almost exclusively on rings today

If he made that move, and I were a GM, I wouldn't want anything to do with him. I mean Cleveland has basically destroyed they're money for the next IDK how many years after he leaves. They're gonna be in the lottery the year after he does.

Is the short term success worth financial ruin for the years after? That's the question I'd have to ask as a franchise or GM

Idk, I think as a GM you'd bend over backwards to get LeBron to sign with you. ESPECIALLY if you're talking about San Antonio (I realize it says LA but just to make a point) because I would imagine he'd be less demanding in his 16th season and if you've already got CP3 and Kawhi, it's not like he'd be demanding to max guys like TT out. With that being said, as talented and close as the two are, I think CP3 and LeBron would be a nightmare.

He's gonna be a guy who takes wayyyy less than he's worth to chase rings like David west. What a bad look

There is a lot of BS sports reporters throw out just to make a wave, but I will never underestimate a Woj bomb.

I think most teams would take 3 straight Finals trips and Championship. And I disagree that they'd be in financial ruin for years. They'd only have one year after he left in this scenario where they'd be in a tough cap spot. After that they'd only have Kyrie, TT & JR under contract if they didn't make any moves (Love has a PO).
