The chemistry just wasn’t there for Miami! You could see the look on Wade’s face before the game, there is some sort of animosity going on in Miami!

Congrads Spurs!

Yep. The old boring Spurs were able to come out of the loaded West with all this young athletic stud teams. Don't see anything that the Heat could do outside of a trade for the ages that could get a more able bodied 3rd star to compliment Bosh and Lebron.

If he goes to the West to a team like the Clippers... they would have to give up someone like Deandre Jordan (a 4th quarter liability like Dwight Howard) or Blake Griffin and a couple of more pieces. Don't think they would give up Griffin (I know there was talk of trading him before he broke out this season) and Jordan is not enough even with another good player.

The most important person that will have a say in this is his wife :lol:

Blake is "untouchable" in the words of Doc, so they wont be giving up Blake,

I don't see anywhere he can go that will beat the Spurs Lol..their 'system' is better than every other NBA team...

He is really 'cursed', wherever he is going to go, he will be that dude Lol...and the others will be sidekicks and what I mean by that is when they have a bad game, the media will jump on the sidekicks stating that Lebron didn't have any help yadda yadda and stuff...so he needs to play with another superstar like a Melo to kinda help ease that noise a bit...but word from a bird is they all can in up in LA..(LAKERnation) that is a possibility

Why so??

Only thing in their way is "injuries", they beat the best in the WEST and had the BEST RECORD IN THE NBA, coming outta the west, ppl sleep on that so heavy, they had the best record coming outta the tough WEST, only team that 'could' give them a run next year will be 'nobody' the teams don't have enough role players like the Spurs and their 'system' aint seeing the Spurs system...They don't do pick n roll basketball every trip down the court, they actually run a 'motion' set with 'pick-n-roll' as an option lol...Every team in the NBA other than the Rockets and maybe the TrailBlazers run a dayum Pick-N-Roll offense as their 1st option...once they cross half court, that's why OKC will never win a ship...pick in rolling KD all the time, a good coach ex. POP, will find a strategy to stop that and make other players beat them

Believe that lie if you want to.

No player in the NBA is untouchable in a deal that possibly could involve LeBron.

Likely true for most teams, though I'd think it wouldn't make sense because having LeBron and CP3 without Blake wouldn't necessarily make the Clippers the favorite.

Houston radio threw out this "would you do it?" trade... Harden, Lin, Asik, and Jones for LeBron. 90% said "Hell yeah!" LOL

If they were able to keep Deandre Jordan and a few other pieces they would be a huge favorite. I love Griffin but Lebron is much, much better.
 
Only "untouchable" players TO ME are Anthony Davis, Russ, and KD. I would not trade either of these guys for Bron, everyone else is def tradeable. It would def be lob city with BOTH Griffin and Lebron but who wouldn't take Lebron over Griffin??? Like I said, if the spurs keep that team just the way it is, they will CRUISE to the finals and whoop every team's ass on the way there. Bron would need to convince melo to join mr.24 and see if that would work out. Right now, it is looking like Miami is his best bet. Riley already said getting Melo to the heat would be improbable so they really just need to restructure their bench and create a "system". Also, spo is fuggin TRASH!!!
 
Spo is dumpster juice....they need a veteran coach to coach Lebron..granted he won with Spo (lucky one time) but dude needs to be coach by a Pat Riley or someone along those lines...He wont win another title under Spo's leadership...

Spo wanna be Pat soooooo bad smh

The only untouchable in the league outside of LeBron is KD. If you don't think NO wouldn't get rid of Davis for LeBron, you don't know how this works.

I don't know about the Spurs cruising to a title. The West is going to get better next year.

And there is no way LeBron is gonna play with Kobe. None.

The only teams LBJ will seriously consider are the Heat, Bulls and Clippers. Everything else is crazy talk.

Agreed with the bold

but again the Spurs had the best record coming outta the WEST this year and they had 'injuries' and still came out on Top this year..

Parker/Ginobli/Lenard all miss a good amount of games this year and they still kept at top of the WEST

I disagree but oh well. They'd go from a Big 3 to a duo plus a guy to catch alley oops. Blake and LeBron play different positions so it shouldn't have to be either/or.

AD will be a hall of famer....he is what? 22? You don't trade a 22 year old rising star in AD for a 30 year old Lebron who has plateaued....NO WAY! Also, why do you say the clippers? Am I missing something lol

LeBron has not hit any plateau. He's gotten better every single year of his career, including this season. There is always something he adds to his game. Davis is going to be a great player, but LeBron gets N.O. closer to a title than Davis does right now.

I say the Clippers as a possible destination for LBJ because he's really good friends with Chris Paul. They've been to each other's weddings. Paul was at the hospital when LBJ's youngest son was born. They're tight. Plus, Doc Rivers is there. A coach LeBron respects greatly. The Clippers have a team that is a legit title contender. Also, LBJ is venturing into the entertainment industry. He has a TV show coming out soon based loosely on his life. So, the Clippers ate an attractive spot for LBJ for a lot of reasons.

We'll have to agree to disagree here....meh defense and lost some of that explosive burst he used to have. He was efficient no doubt but I'm starting to see that he is on the other side of his "prime". Of course bron gets N.O. closer to a title, he would get any team closer to a title rofl but I wouldn't trade for bron if I was the pelican's president. I don't see him going to the Clippers but great info ken!

You wouldn't trade a 22 yr old that has yet to lead his team to a playoff appearance for a 4 time MVP?
