LeBron James

I'll say this again..if Lebron decides to leave after next season, he leaves..can't get into a funk worrying about it.
The FO just needs to prepare if he does and learn from their mistakes after he left the first time.
That means doing the draft the right way and getting the best players possible.
Not getting FA's who have no value and no talent .

What draft? What good is the draft when you have no picks?

Ever heard of sign and trades?
Thats what happened the first time he left ..Cavs got some picks for him.
It will happen again if he wants to leave..he won't walk for nothing.

Why would he? He'll be a free agent. He did that before to his new team and they eventually were left with nothing but old vets. I could just see him walking this time around.

Can hard capped teams do sign and trades?

Can hard capped teams do sign and trades?

So long as they end up below the hard cap, yes.

That pretty much excludes us from being able to do it then since we're so far over the cap.

I'm just trying to figure out what all these imaginary deals we're missing out on are...

That pretty much excludes us from being able to do it then since we're sp far over the cap.

We'd be over the salary cap but not the hard cap. The hard cap is at the apron, which is $4M above the luxury tax threshold. This season it's around $124M, IIRC.

I was watching Sportsnation today (I have a thing for Beadle) and see said she has seen some videos of James practicing with the summer league squad. How is this not news or even online? I found nothing on google, youtube or twitter. It was just about him watching Lonzo Ball.

In theory that should have been enough for multiple titles. 2015 was ours for the taking.

No one saw the Durant to GSW domino. That shifted history away from our favor.

If Durant doesnt go to GSW I cant find one team that would have beaten us in 7 games, even with our shit defense.

As long as Durant stays in OKC then yes we win. If he went to the Spurs they would have beat us in 6

Because any Story with even the slightest Indication he maybe will not leave Cle a second time and move to LA is just not exciting and does not offer a good Story right now..

In the not at all unlikely case that Lebron stays in Cle we wont hear any stories about it until he resigned.. Its just not really newsworthy... The Media rather wants to see the Drama of him leaving again...and creating a Superteam with Ball,George and Lopez in La..

I saw so many people freaking out about Lebron sitting court side for the Lakers game the other night. Idiots. He was in Vegas working out with and teaching our summer league team. Sure looks like a guy who is set on leaving next summer.

They were seriously stating he was scouting Lonzo lol.

I'm with you on Beadle, dawg.

Something about her personality.

Plus she loves the game and I'll let it slide she is a Spurs fan because you know she hates GS with a passion.
