    Also, Curry does not make the max so they can't spend all their cap room this year and then go after Carmelo unless the cap goes way up, not that a lineup like that makes sense anyway.

    Donnie Walsh is not that crazy to think this is has a chance at happening.
    Two guys playing the 3? The only sell of Carmelo would be to anyone but LBJ. Neither of those guys are going to play the 2 or the 4.

      Well the point of this rumor is that they could make up the financial difference with endorsements only available in NYC - I think we all know how that bit of info is going to go over on OS.

      Regardless of if that's true or not, there is zero percent chance of it happening.

        Chicago maybe...but then all he has to do is win 7 championships to get out of MJ's shadow...maybe they can hire back Phil Jackson and Krause

        btw, he could make about 30 mil more from a S&T than he would from signing outright...not that I think he would actually go to Dallas even though it is probably a better option than some of the destinations being stated in the media

          Krause...

          I do not think the MJ shadow is a issue. It has been mentioned it would be a positive if anything. We'll see.

          Also Cavs have mentioned several times they will not be involved in any LBJ S&Ts.

            seems that carving his own legend might be an issue...but personally I would actually bet on him going to Chicago

            well they arent going to say at this point that they would be open to it, considering they want Lebron back

            but if they know he is leaving down the road, they might want an instant expiring in Dampier to clear even more cap room, a soon to be expiring Caron Butler, and/or a young player in Roddy B and/or this years 1st round pick Dominique Jones, and/or draft picks instead of getting nothing...and they might want to send him to the west instead of seeing him go to a main divisional rival

              You don't understand.

              Dan Gilbert will not help LeBron leave Cleveland. End of story. It won't happen.

                Oh I agree. They might just decide that they won't help him in the process though. However, there is no doubt though Dallas can offer the best S&T scenarios. Cap space plus the beast know as Beaubois as you mentioned.

                  did you get that from Ric Bucher

                  Gilbert didnt become a billionare by conducting bad business...if he knows Lebron is leaving, it makes no sense to settle for zero and not get some good assets out of it

                      Based on the rumors of how much power LeBron & Co have in Cleveland I think Gilbert loses just about all credibility he earned from his business endeavors.

                        I'm saying Gilbert will never allow LeBron to get what he wants while leaving the franchise.

                        What we'd get back from Dallas would pale in comparison to the backlash Gilbert would take for trading LeBron. It's not like we'd be getting anything of real value back from Dallas.

                          The Cavs could get more value from the Mavs than probably any other team. However, it wont matter because Lebron probably wouldnt want to go to Dallas anyway because the franchise and city probably doesnt fit with the prestige that he is looking for...even though it might be one of the better situations for him

                            If the Cavaliers were to sign and trade him to Dallas, we'd get a marginal player or expiring contract and 1st round picks. That's what any team would give the Cavaliers for LeBron.

                            Same for any player who get's signed and traded.

                              the Cavs wont get equal value if they are going to lose the 2nd best, and soon to be 1st best, player in the world...but it's about getting the best value back possible if they feel he is leaving anyway

                                Roddy B. is no marginal player. Maybe I'm just high on him but I love his level of play and I do see the Tony Parker comparisons.

                                Either way, out of the possible destinations, Dallas does present the mix of best packages.
