    Considering how much I HATE the color Yellow the last thing I wanna see is LA vs GS in the WCF for the next 5 years.

    There is no possible chance that I would watch even a minute of that.

    Starting to see all the signs.

    Lebron drafts Durant first for the All Star draft.

    Lebron starts heaping praise on KD, making the Portland dig while the series is still going.

    LA has room for two max contracts.

    Lebron wants to play in LA with Durant. If both agree to do it, they can build a team around them.

    If LA gets both Durant and Lebron, GS does not make it all five years. They would be cash strapped to add players and wpuld be losing Durant. They showed signs of wearing down this year and would only get older.

    With Durant out of GS, other teams atleast have a chance. Would love to see it, even though the Lakers would be contenders again.

    I’m not even considering Durant being there. If LA lands PG/LBJ/Kawhi it will be Lakers vs Warriors for the foreseeable future.

    Windhorst on First Take said other teams (not LA or CLE) have been requesting meetings to pitch Lebron ("some of which are very creative and interesting packages), and have been told "NO."

    Where will LeBron go?

    If it isn't Portland, he can go to hell for all I care ;)

    Lebron's career - in the sense that he is a threat to the Warriors - is done then, imo. He's extremely gifted but he tends to think a little too highly of himself that he can't see the forest for the trees.

    If he really wanted to win, he would consider the Sixers, Pelicans, and Blazers as possible destinations - especially as those places have players geared towards his playing style.

    Otherwise, he's stuck in mediocrity if he stays in Cleveland and there's no guarantee people will join him in LA. Already, reports are stating Kawhi is hesitant to be in the spotlight with Lebron (Pop doesn't want to trade to LA) and Harden doesn't like Lebron taking over his team. Paul George and Lebron simply isn't enough to win.

    He’s no Jordan that’s for sure, he’s not even a Kobe in my book. This era of stars in ruining the game for the majority of the NBA fan base. Parity is what makes sports more fun in my book. If this Big 3 in LA really happens it’s bad for the game, might be good for TV ratings but when all the small markets already know before the season starts they have zero chance at winning a championship it’s bad for business. The stars of the 80s/90s would have never done this shit, I almost think these dudes should have an * next to any championship they win.

    The NBA is on pace to become a 6 team league.

    The best part of this is that Cleveland will go back to being NBA backwater again.

    I've said it before, LeBron ruined the modern NBA. He repaired his image in the eyes of many, but nothing has changed. If you have championship aspirations, there's no point following your favorite franchise from a team-building standpoint. Just rent a circus clown for your kid's party instead of doing the work yourself. Soon, the super teams won't even need GMs...
