So there was this article in the Ringer the other day where they threw out some interesting NBA trades they'd like to see. One was for Boston to flip Kyrie (plus a pick and some contract filler) back to Cleveland for LeBron. Imagine the psychodrama! They described it as the ultimate Godfather move on LeBron's part, and Danny Ainge would be the Keyser Soze of the NBA. I don't think it would ever happen, but I'd laugh my ass off. Anyway, in such a circumstance, maybe Rozier stays in Boston as the starting PG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperry Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Stevens benches Ojeleye, simply because Ojeleye is not good and it's time to shorten the rotation. So Lue responds by putting his third best player on the bench. It's completely insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Boston goes after LeBron, they should trade Kyrie and Brow plus picks for AD. Imagine a Lineup of LeBron/Tatum/Hayward/AD/Horford. That would be absolutely disgusting in a beautiful way.

Since the proposal requires LeBron to opt in to another year of his contract to work, it'd have to be initiated by LeBron. Fat chance of LeBron seeking out Boston, it'd be like Luke actually joining the Emperor, but it might be the most sure way to defeat Golden State. And the Celtics would instantly replace the Warriors as the most loathed team in the league, and LeBron would get a thousand times the heat and "bitch" accusations that Durant did.

I guess we have to ask the ultimate question: Is LeBron willing to ring chase at all costs or is his next move, which might be the final act in his career, about setting up his life after basketball?

The third factor is his hatred of Boston and its fans. That's why I ultimately don't think he'd do it, not even for a nice hug from Bill Russell. But it's fun to think about. Though Cleveland might spontaneously combust. It'd be the greatest heel turn in the history of sports, wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, LeBron is either going to a team that's already loaded or he's going to the Lakers to kick starter his entertainment company. If he does the former, I would think the Celtics would at least have to be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero chance he joins Boston, and that's especially true if they beat the Cavs this year, although I still don't think that's happening. It's the same reason why those rumors of him going to Golden State were always ridiculous, and shot down by LeBron himself immediately. He cares about his legacy at this point. He wouldn't do something that would completely destroy it like joining a team that just won a title without him, or joining the team that just beat him.

Rhom Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I had a very clear change of opinion regarding GS after Durant came. I loved their change of pace. They were a breath of fresh air in a stagnant NBA. Now they just wear on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
