Re: The LeBron James Thread

side note what are these gifs from?

Fitting enough, the WWF/E draft.


First one was Undertaker getting drafted by Ric Flair (and being upset since he was in a feud with Flair).


Second one was Triple H getting drafted to Smackdown (he was the leader of Evolution on Raw, and drafted to SD meant he'd be split from them)

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Read a interesting article on BR that admits it will never happen but Lebron in the Jazz basketball wise is a good fit. He has Mitchell as the 2nd scorer, Gobert as the rim protector and Ingles to shoot.

As long as they are not isolating lol. When you have a system in place like the Utah. Good things happen. But they still need talent though. Can't bear the Warriors with that group.

He aint beating the Warriors with any team he goes to, expect maybe Houston.
What if, just what if...
He doesn't care about beating the Warriors?
What if he just wants to play somewhere that he is happy and wants to live.
I read an interesting article that was saying that maybe he just wants to finish his career in a city like LA that he loves.
That maybe he is not going to worry about how talented that team currently is for how much of a shot that they have to beat GS.
I mean its not like he hasn't won any titles.
He is going to go down as one of the top 5 players of all time even if he doesn't win another title.

I mean...he’s the one talking about the “ghosts” he’s chasing, pretty sure he cares about beating the Warriors and winning championships still. That was literally just last season

Re: The LeBron James Thread

LeBron James held court in Cleveland in 2010, listening to pitch after pitch as teams flew in to recruit the superstar during free agency. That approach became a model, and Kevin Durant followed it in the Hamptons in 2016.

But maybe once is enough.

Durant announced months ago he’d stay with the Warriors. And now LeBron – who could definitely leave Cleveland – is making clear he doesn’t want the hoopla, either.

Ramona Shelburne of ESPN:

sources close to the situation tell ESPN that he has no intention of hearing elaborate pitch meetings from teams.

league sources believe he and his agents Rich Paul and Mark Termini have enough understanding of the stakes and NBA landscape to handle the process without much fanfare.

LeBron is still haunted by The Decision. He’s a great player and philanthropist and does plenty to connect with fans. Yet, people still dislike him purely because of how he changed teams eight years ago.

If I wielded as much power as LeBron, I’d want suitors wining and dining me. He wants to avoid more backlash.

This will probably look similar to 2014 – LeBron’s agents hearing out teams then LeBron meeting with only the most serious options, though the final announcement will likely come via Uninterrupted rather than Sports Illustrated.

The Lakers, Cavaliers, Rockets and 76ers are commonly viewed as the favorites for LeBron. This approach makes it less likely for a longshot to emerge – though, for what it’s worth, we don’t know those four teams are his favorites right now.

I’m guessing his website will crash just like SI’s did 4 years ago.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

So basically he's gonna choose Cleveland or LA.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Uh oh, LeBron's twitter only references Akron, OH now. No Cleveland references. #hegone

I'm kidding of course. Although I do remember from the 2014 decision that someone had figured out the color scheme on his website had changed to Cleveland colors before he announced his decision. Someone is gonna figure this thing out before he announces it, that's for sure.

They scanned his website. And found links to color changes lol

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Sounds like lebron is gonna make his decision within the next 10 days or so.


Making the decision at the very start of free agency makes me lean towards him going with LA so they can go out and make their other moves before guys get signed elsewhere.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Seems like all the momentum is going toward LA

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Magic says he'll step down if he can't get an elite FA in LA within next 2 seasons.


You don't say something like that unless you know something...
