LeBron James

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

- His best opportunity to coast through the regular season/early playoffs is far and away in the eastern conference AKA Cleveland.

Wait his best opportunity to coast is on a team with a coach that plays him 38 minutes per game (#1 in the league in minutes), having to carry the team in every shape possible because when hes off the floor the team has a net rating of -1,000,000

Over a coach in Popovich that'll play him around 29-33 minutes per game, rest him for like 20-25 games a year, while his team still destroys opponents when he sits, I think thats the real definition of coasting, not leading the league in minutes at age 33.

At his age and he has around three elitish years he will not go anywhere. He is a driven father more than a player at this point he do what is best for him and them and that is make the most money here and give his children the best life he can. Even if he did leave we got at least one and I will never forget that night. The Tribe is going for the next one as we speak just enjoy winning here while it lasts. I am not speaking to you but anyone so upset of spilt milk at this point.

This, the objective isn't to get to the Finals, but to be the best team in the league. Because best team wins almost always in the NBA.

By keeping the exact same roster? You're right. If the team does what it should and upgrades the bench, I'm sure LeBron would love to take playoff matchups of Memphis/Houston/Golden State before even getting to the finals over a few more regular season minutes in the east, you're right
 
 
This might not be the smartest thing to say during this time, but would it make any sense if we traded Lebron, Love, and Kyrie? Or maybe attempt to build a team around Kyrie? It would really, really suck for Lebron to leave in FA and not get anything in immediate return. Think of all the picks and young talent we could get if we traded him to LAL, and the same thing goes for Love (different team). This is obviously just a thought and not one I enjoy thinking about.
 
ESPN Cleveland is discussing trading Lebron

Said they'd move him to New York for Kristaps and the 8th pick or Milwaukee for Giannis

With Lebron's no trade clause, he's not going to approve a trade that removes too much talent from the team he's going to.

Bucks wouldn't make that move.

The Knicks would...and it's not a bad setup for the post LeBron era

Kristaps
Love
Cedi
Monk
Kyrie

Not happening though. I don't think LeBron is going anywhere, I don't think he'd want to help take away talent to any team he'd go to. However, in a weird way I could see him wanting to **** over Phil, lol.
 
he's got a no trade clause so he won't be dealt to a team gutting themselves to get him, and there is NO way Gilbert wants to be known as the owner who traded LeBron James, regardless of if he's leaving or not.

ESPN Cleveland needs to step back from the ledge.
 
(and besides, the trade is to Spurs for Leonard, Aldridge & Green for James, Shump and Frye)



****joking
 
LeBron could go down as the second best player. He needs to retire a Cav. That would be epic and Cleveland deserves it.

BTW, I'm from Philly but I hope he stays. Of course the Cavs should at least try to do all they can, yes even parting with Love and taking risks.

I do not support this idea in any way, shape or form.

And to truly kill it, LeBron James has a no trade clause. His trade value is basically.
nothing ala- Melo.. Kyrie would get us the best return if assets by far. But I'm not ready to stick a fork in this core yet. Our window is still wide open to win titles.
