A lot of threads/posts on how we keep Lebron and bring in all-stars with magic fairy dust. I get it. It is the most fun scenario to discuss and fantasize about.
However, I might be in the minority, but I think Lebron is leaving and I want to discuss the most likely scenario even though it isn't as fun. I have thought Lebron was leaving for months now and I haven't convinced myself otherwise which is hard with all these hopeful Lebron is staying threads on RCF.
All the best to Lebron if he leaves. He delivered on his promise to Cleveland. He gave me my first championship. I got to celebrate the championship with my city. I got to watch IMO the best player to ever play the game for much of my adult life. I'll personally root for Lebron whatever team he joins. That definitely wasn't the case when he originally left for South Beach.
So to my question....... Lebron has left. Maybe we do an S&T and get some high first round picks? Maybe some roleplayers or expiring contracts? What can we get for Love, TT, and JR? Love probably has the highest trade value but I honestly don't think we would get very much in return. We might hold onto JR for a year because he will have a nice expiring contract to trade later.
IMO you gut the team as much as you can and start the rebuilding process which includes 3-5 years of high lottery picks. The first couple of years without any exciting young talent are going to be rough. And no, Cedi and Zizic don't count. Hahaha.
