2017-18 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD PART 1 ALL OF AMERICAS FAVORITE TEAMS ARE BACK

hes only going to LA if PG is joining him, and someone else too, maybe boogie? idk seems crazy but bron can orchestrate whatever he wants

xp to where though? there are no clear places really. cleveland will continue to try to honor whatever request he makes. i could be a deluded homer (i usually am) but there aren't any more obvious places he would go, unless he orchestrates (as you said) some bigger stuff with other free agents. who else is a free agent next year that would join up w/ him?

bron pg boogie ball and a bunch of d league guys and over the hill ring chasers is honestly something i wld be interested in seeing

i think he's gonna have to take a pay cut if he wants to really orchestrate something out of Clevelan

if bron takes a paycut he can prob get the other stars to too, that pg-boogie lakers scenario actually seems pretty realistic, lakers just have to clear the deng and clarkson contracts + either trade randle or let him walk, someone wld take clarkson off their hands for nothing then u have to package ingram with deng and their books are pretty much clear

then even under that scenario they still have three super cheap young guys who can contribute in nance kuzma and zubac, always important to have fresh legs on those superstar teams, too many old guys is problem http://hoopshype.com/salaries/los_angeles_lakers/

clarkson is easy to move. young, pretty good and on a fair contract

deng tho...

ball
george
bron
nance
boogie

kuzma
zubac
ring chasers
randos

yeah theyd def have to throw in one of ingram/kuzma/nance to move deng, prob ingram since he makes the most and prob has the most value

wld still prob lose to the warriors but itd be an interesting matchup stylewise, thatd be a huge bruising insane rebounding lakers team

+they cld reshoot the now this is gonna be fun SI cover

would be a great start

not convinced that team would be good enough

true, i guess he could just retire

i dont know that there's any team in the west lebron could join that would give better odds of a championship than an arbitrary east team

the warriors

sure, but bron could join the warriors only if they could figure out a contract he'd accept that they could afford.

he's made enough money it's time to sacrifice for the good of the team

he'll make a great backup

yup, you tell him that

no problem. hey marcos do you have lebron's number

The Paul George trade isn’t looking so bad anymore

right

sabonis i think cld be legit good but im suspicious of dipo

ive never been too high on oladipo but its good to see him making the most of what is essentially the perfect situation for a player of his type

sabonis would be a truly incredible player if his wingspan was like a foot longer

same

he's made enough money it's time to sacrifice for the good of the team

he'll make a great backup

as a matter of fact i do

I called him and told him polyphonic says to take less money and be a backup

now he's mad at me and says he's leaving cleveland next year

jeez thanks a lot polyphonic

damnn

did you ask him where he's going (please say dubs)

ive figured it out bron shd go to......................................................

.........................

................the knicks

lol

think abt it

its what shd happen

ok i've thought about it, what now

now we wait

lebron on the grizz would be a really good team too bad they spent all their money on chandler parsons instead

srsly though if i had one chip to put on lebron's next team i would go with miami

i have no idea it wld be funny if he did the decision pt 2 tho

actually maybe nvm their contract situation is way worse than i thought

knicks seem more than a lebron away from being good, they need like a better guard too

yes but it wld be the biggest shitshow

spurs

I'm not sure how well LeBron would mesh with Popovich. Pop doesn't seem that hard to play for, but LeBron is kind of unique to work with.

sry vetoed spurs not enough drama

theyd be fine, pop coaches manu who throws passes between people's legs to teammates who aren't expecting it xp

i would create drama, i would stalk lebron

spurs' good players are at the positions lebron plays which is awkward, they wouldnt be as improved by him as other teams

kawhi moves to the 2, problem solved, now teams never score on the spurs.
