If he opts in, he makes about $35.6M. If he opts out, his Y1 salary is $35.4M. I mean, that's peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's opting out, he's most likely going to lose money next year as his PO will likely come higher than his max salary. Wouldnt that just mean he is just out of Cleveland? Not necessarily tipping his hand for where he is going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opting out was always expected. The only thing opting out takes away is a Chris Paul type trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancerman Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Best move Lebron can make is to stay put and wait. Leonard isn’t going anywhere and George seems like he isn’t going to make a move for Lebron. I’m not risking a move to LA to wait a year, lose before the Finals and hope something doesn’t get worked out between the Spurs and Leonard.

It'd essentially mean he's down to Cleveland, LA, and Philadelphia (or some other team with cap space that could come out of nowhere) if he opts out.

LeBron holds all the cards, he doesn't need to make his move until he knows what he's dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're all foolish if we don't think there's already a plan in motion. Does anyone truly believe that LeBron doesn't know where he's going?

J-ALL-DAY Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 So all this talk of LeBron and his wife going out looking at High Schools I thought his son was about to be a freshmen.....to only find out he is going into the 8th grade LOL. It probably would make more sense looking for a new home next year when is about to enter high school than now. I'm now predicting he signs a two year deal with the Cavs with a opt out after next season and then if he leaves, it will be in 2019 not in the next few weeks. This will also allow the PG and Kawhi situations to play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone truly believe that LeBron doesn't know where he's going? I think Lebron’s overall influence in players like George or Leonard making decisions based off him is severely overplayed. Miami’s situation fell into his lap at the right time and Cleveland needed and had ties to him. I don’t think there’s some magic grand plan where all of a sudden everything falls in the right place.

candyman93 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I’m just guessing, but I think Lebron stays in Cleveland 1 more year. There’s too much uncertainty in free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes West I figured he’d want to go to a team with a legit shot at beating GS like Houston. Even if the Lakers got him and PG it wouldn’t be enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDez Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 So why doesn’t he go to LA with the stipulation they only sign another player(s) to a 1 year deal? Then they just sign Kawhi next summer and still have young talent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
