Celtics will have 2 additional all-stars on board the next time they would meet. True. I shouldn't say "probable". Celtics will make a strong push with Irving and Hayward in the east. If James stays in Cleveland though, that is what will be the talk all offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 LA could build something special from scratch if they trade Lonzo. He's got trade value that far exceeds his value as a player sharing the floor with Lebron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raves Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Philly actually can't offer LeBron a max contract. A max contract for LeBron is $35 million, the cap for Philly is around $30 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still thinking they have a legit chance and by legit I mean at least 25% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA has talent but Lebron is trying to win now, and how much are guys like Lonzo or Ingram going to help you win now? Kuzma and Randle would be really nice for him to play with, but would they be able to keep both? Exactly. He's trying to win now, that's why you go to Houston and not Philadelphia.

Everything I've seen has them sitting at $70 million that they are on the hook for, not counting cap holds. They would need to release all their holds and still trade someone taking back nothing to get enough to max them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakers would have to do sign and trades to get them both on the roster and even then thats not enough to beat GS. His best bet to win another title is clearly in Houston.

Well, they would release all of their holds on Amir Johnson, JJ Redick, Marco Belinelli, and Ersan Ilyasova. Then trade Bayless into cap space by attaching an asset, or stretching him and trading Justin Anderson. If LeBron wants to be in Philly, they have space.

For as great as LeBron is, I think Philly would be best suited having PG and Leonard as the top 2 priorities, bring in either one to pair with Simmons/Covington/Saric/Embiid and go from there. I don't think LeBron meshes will with the players they have in place and although he'd get them to the finals, I'm not sure if it would be worth it in the long run for them.

Well without making a trade, they actually don't have the space for LeBron, which is what I was referencing. Most of the teams that would be able to take on the contract without sending something back are wanting to go after LeBron as well, so it's not that easy to just say "we'll make a trade and attach an asset." Also agree with you on the PG idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
