Ric Bucher Says Portland Is The Best Destination For LeBron This Summer

Well, that and NYK didn't want HOU's shit. You think CLE will take Ryan Anderson for LeBron?

BNM

 

Didn’t want him bad enough? You mean no one wanted Ryan Anderson? If Houston wants Lebron they’re gonna have to move Ryan, and that ain’t happening. I shouldn’t have even mentioned Houston.

 

Id heard it on the radio this that Santa Claus would move to LA before James.
I agree. No way he wants to play for a team that could screw up his legacy. If he didn't win there he'd be a bust in that city compared to the statues at Staples.

 

Losing in the finals every year is starting to become his legacy too. GOATS don’t lose more ships than they win.

 

I think out of all 3 we win more titles with Kawhi, he’s on the same career arc as Dame.

 

LeBron has had his best success with ball dominant guards.

Kyrie
Wade

Hell.... even Mo Williams. But they have to be extremely talented and capable of sharing the ball, which Damian is. That's why Isaiah Thomas was never going to work. He's ball dominant AND he thinks he's Allen Iverson. In terms of overall talent, we offer one of the best situations for him. I don't see any way Houston could afford him, and they have nothing to trade.

Yes, coming West would make things harder for him, but with the right talent around him, I think he could win. If you put LeBron on our team, I think we would have a legit shot at winning the title. Would we actually win? I don't know. Would he want to come here? I don't know. If we're living in this dream scenario where LeBron wants to come to Portland, this is what I would try to do:

To make the money work, AND keep CJ, we would have to convince them to take Harkless/Collins/Turner and a pick. If you can convince Cleveland that Collins is good value, that's more than the Clippers really got for CP3. Obviously Turner is a hard sell, but he only has 2 years left. It's not THAT bad.

Next, I would try to use LeBron as a marketing tool to get one more key piece. This free agent class is amazing, with names like Durant, George, CP3, Jordan, etc.

I would try to convince George to come here, and if it requires a sign-and-trade, I'm willing to deal CJ for George. If we had Dame/George/LeBron/Nurk, we could plug just about anyone into the SG spot. It wouldn't really matter. Someone who wants a ring. Maybe try to sell JJ Redick or Avery Bradley on a short deal.

 

I’d rather win a title through internal growth

 

I dunno, can they not get creative and get other teams involved?

 

I don’t see any way they can get around it, they would have to get someone to take Anderson. No ones going to do it, even if Houston attached a first.

 

congrats! have you picked a name for the child yet?

 

If he leaves Cleveland, he goes to Philadelphia IMO. No better situation for him to go to. They got the cap space, they got the talent and their fans are passionate about the current team.

 

I want Kawhi here ...that would be a contender

 

why is this a thread? this will never happen.

 

If reality was a prime consideration in posts around here, Denny wouldn’t make money off this site.

 

Better off packaging our first and a future first to try and grab Mikal B.
Looks like Kawhi 2.0 to me, or KK outta UK, underachieving guys outta UK always pay off.

 

Him and Simmons don't fit, and were better.

 

Archie Goodwin didn't pay off lol

 

Nobody's saying it will.

 

I made it talking about what a national writer said. That seems real to me.
