They can either trade him or run the risk of him walking as a FA, and getting nothing in return. That's not really a strong choice to have to make.

If he does that and the Spurs don't trade with the Lakers, then the cupboard kind of looks bare for LeBron with the Lakers. At the end of the day, LeBron can just opt in and do this all over again next season haha. He was all about the Lakers for most of the past year or so. It's only the last few days that he's "leaning" towards staying with Oklahoma City. He's trying to make it appear to be a tougher decision than it is. At this point, he's a Laker until he says he's re-signing with the Lakers until it says otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if Kawhi comes to the Lakers and they still have cap space for LeBron and Paul George, it's going to be incredibly hard for those two to walk away from that kind of offer. If he Kawhi is dealt elsewhere, how does that affect Paul George and LeBron? They either team up in Los Angeles, or return to their respective teams. Given how much the Big 3 (LeBron, Bosh, and Wade) talked about teaming, I'd be VERY surprised if LeBron and Paul George hadn't talked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, if PG signs with LA, I believe Lebron then follows. Leaving Kawhi out of the LAL loop. When that happens I truly believe Boston and Philly go in hard for Kawhi with Boston winning the sweepstakes. Kawhi will see that LAL will no longer have the money for him this or next season. That's when Boston/Ainge put on their full-court press for Kawhi. I don't want Boston to give up "too" much, but definitely think we can convince him to a long term extension. This whole offseason really starts with PG, IMHO. The problem is the Lakers need to acquire Kawhi BEFORE they sign Paul George and LeBron. If they acquire Kawhi and don't keep enough max cap space for both of them, the threat of Kawhi signing with the Lakers in 2019 goes down. Does Kawhi pass on the super max to go to the Clippers in 2019? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably ranked them 4th in terms of LeBron's preferred destinations behind Cleveland, LA Lakers, and Houston. And as I mentioned in the Sixers' thread, it gets incredibly sticky trying to fit Kawhi AND LeBron. Not impossible, but it's more difficult.

That's not really a strong choice to have to make. It would set a bad precedent that they can be bullied to not only trade a player, but serve him up to his preferred destination to boot. Obviously it would ultimately hurt both parties, but it isnt out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
