He could opt-in, let Ball/Ingram/PG/Kuzma/Randle? or whatever run it back and another year of Deng's contract to fall off the books, then look to head to LA, or wherever, in 2019 when the outlook looks even better for him with a team.

Pastor Dillon Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Honestly, Lebron needs to cash in on a 4 year max deal this off season. He turns 34 this year. I know its the great lebron James, but the longer he waits, the more hesitant teams are going to be to lock him up long term. I am sure someone will sign him to a deal that pays 40 year old Lebron 50 million, but they will regret that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If LeBron wasn't is as great of shape as he is, or didn't look as amazing in the finals as he did, I would agree with you. Unless he suffers a major injury though I think he can wait it out for 1 more year before going for a max contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the team's problem that pays him, not LeBron's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234567 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I'll get laughed out of the building for this. But if Lebron actually wanted to beat the Warriors, he would go to Denver. A lot of people lose track of how young and ridiculously talented that team is. Golden State would not beat a Nuggets team in a best of 7 if they had a starting line up of Jamal Murray, Gary Harris, Paul Millsap, Nikola Jokic and Lebron James. Not in a million years. They're one of the only teams in the league who have consistently given Golden State all they wanted over the last 2 years (Denver's 3-2 against them over their last 5), AND it wouldn't screw up team chemistry to go there. The problem with a team like Houston is that they already have a Lebron type guy in Harden. So do the 76ers. The Nuggets don't. In fact, you could argue that the ONLY thing they are missing is a Lebron type player. Factor in the altitude on top of that, and they would be scary.

But I'm tellin you man, I've watched how much trouble the Nuggets have given them, particularly over the last 1.5 seasons. Denver with Lebron would be a serious problem for Golden State.

A sweep might be a bit strong, but there's no chance the Nuggets beat a healthy Warriors team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234567 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Maybe, maybe not. Unfortunately we'll never know. We both know Lebron will never go to D-town, and without him (or someone similar) Denver won't make it to the finals. But I WILL make a friendly wager with you . I bet ya the Nuggets post a winning record against Golden State next season. That's as close to a finals series as those two teams probably get.

FEARtheELF Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Im starting to come to terms with the chances are that LeBron is going West. Cavs dont have enough to keep him around. Unless someone is willing to part with a top talent without taking Love or Sexton, its just not going to happen. I think LeBron has had his mind set on LA this year for a while, he knew all season long he was out of Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wanting to move on from LeBron instead of Kyrie if we had the choice, at least Kyrie was signed longer and was willing to commit to the Cavs plus being younger.

The Decision was probably his biggest and honestly maybe only PR mistake he has made. Hopefully we can get a S&T from wherever he wants to go to get some assets back. Trade Love, Korver, JR, TT, Hill, anyone you can and go into full tank mode like Philly did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
