If the Cavs trade Love for a better fitting star and either trade #8 or draft a very good player, the Cavs roster will be more appealing than the Lakers and 76ers. I just can't imagine Lebron wanting to start all over again at the age of 33. Who on the Lakers is going to ball out vs the Warriors? Kuz? Ball? Pope? Ingram? These guys don't know how to win plus it would take 2 seasons to get used to playing in Lebron's system! What about Embiid? Will he even be healthy? Simmons? HA! He can't even shoot outside the paint and he shoots FTs like TT.
If it's about competing for more Championships Lebron is better off staying in Cleveland and recruiting guys to come here. Cavs have some assets plus a couple expirings they move around. Should be a very exciting summer! If he wants to leave that's fine but i'd expect his legacy to get hurt some if he fails to win again.

Lakers fans are taking this as a LeBron/PG combo in LA.

There's only so much recruiting that he could do.. He can't force other teams to trade their star players to the Cavs. Even if, say, he convinced Lillard and PG13 both to want to come join him in Cleveland he can't do much beyond that.I hate to say it, but I've conceded to the fact that LA are the favorites. Our only path to landing another all-star is LeBron going out and recruiting. As passive aggressive as he is I don't see him doing that for us. He's going to wait to see what moves teams make to position themselves for his services.
The only move we can make independent of LBJ is with the pick and that's not happening unless we know he's going to commit.
With that said, I do not think he goes to LA on his own. He's going to wait to see if they can land PG. Our best hope is that PG decides to stay in OKC, as has been rumored is likely to happen. If PG stays, that obviously means we're not going to get him. At that point, I believe it's a stalemate and LeBron seriously considers taking a sabbatical. He could sit out, wait to see where all the chips land, rest and recover, and then decide at the trade deadline.

is anyone else not really sold on the greatness of PG13? Don't get me wrong he's a good player but superstar? I don't feel so...what did he ever accomplish in his career so far? Indy did nothing with him nor did OKC...he's a nice part of a team but I feel everyone over values him a bit?

Hmmm Smith doesn't know the Raptors too well ,do he?This dude Screamin A. has been hating on LeBron nonstop since he got called out last fall. He looks like a petty little bitch.

That series against Indy the year before last, he was spectacular. Truthfully the only guy I’ve seen go head to head against Lebron without an all-star bevy of teammates and hold his own in the playoffs. Lebron outplayed him, but he was damn good and clutch. This past season was strange. He loooked out of place, and I guess playing with Westbrook must be as difficult as rumored, given the success of guys before playing with him, and after leaving him.
Well, playing with LBJ isn't always easy either, especially since PG and LBJ both prefer to play primarily the 3. If one or the other was willing to play the 4 day in/day out, that's different.
