Rumor is LeBron has always wanted to play with Alexis Ajinca. He's headed to NOLA.

I hate this argument. It's so lazy. There aren't many superstars in the league and there are a bunch of teams are 'one superstar away.'

how many teams would at the very least compete with the Warriors if they got Kawhi, PG13, or LeBron? Rockets, Portland, Utah, New Orleans, Minnesota, Philly, Toronto, Boston. Maybe Washington and Milwaukee too

Philly should tell Lebron to buzz off. No reason to ruin that core that could be at the top of eastern conference for the next decade for 2-3 years of success with Lebron. They still wouldn’t beat the warriors. The should just ride out the next 2-3 years of GS domination and add to their young core through the draft, unless they can get a younger superstar like a Kawhi

Even if Houston had Lebron, GSW would win in 5 or 6. They have no holes.

I don’t really see the hype about Lebron going to Philly. Sure him and Embiid would be nice together but Simmons would just be there. It’s not like Lebron can kick it out to him for an open jumper.

Plus that team still isn’t beating the Warriors.

People hate them because they were the best team in the league legitimately and they brought in KD which completely tainted their success. They didn’t have to do that. They literally ruined the current NBA. The entire season and playoffs take 8 months and now thanks to the warriors the entire season can be skipped and you can just watch the first game of the western conference finals and you’re pretty much caught up.

Dumb. What were they supposed to do? NOT reciprocate interest in the best free agent on the market?

Come on.

It doesn't taint their success. It does his somewhat, but we said the same thing about Lebron going to Miami and that lasted for like a month. KD is the best player on a team that will win a few rings. That's what people will remember.

I legit don't think that's how people will remember KD.

Didn't that first year with Miami introduce 9 new players to the team?

That's not even CLOSE to inserting yourself into a 73 win championship basketball team.

There's a path to it. There was an article a few weeks ago that laid it out

What are they going to give up to get off of Anderson's contract? Their first round picks aren't enough, who wants late 20's first rounders in exchange for 40 mil of dead money? They don't really have any assets other than that. Unless they want to trade Harden to the Cavs

This was Cowherd's rant yesterday. He think it's perfect for the league as he believes the Rockets lose easily to GS this year, but are good enough that LeBron puts them over the top, and then the east becomes spicy for 5-10 years between Boston and Philly. But, he never discussed the $$$$. LeBron would never give Gilbert a discount, but maybe he would elsewhere IDK.

Vegas odds say it's more likely he ends up in Golden State than Philly.

LeBron in NOLA for some Gumbo and Pralines.

For real though, LeBron with AD / Boogie / Jrue / Rondo is a lot better than what the Rockets starting 5 could offer.

Top 2 Bigs, a pure passer, top 3 2 way guard, and Bron Bron. We would be even with GSW.
