If I am Lebron I say fuck south beach and head north. Chicago would be a title favorite with Lebron on that team. The Bulls could not outright sign him unless he was willing to take around 11 million per. However they could work out a deal with Miami. Odds are he stays in Miami but the thought of Lebron in Chicago is scary. Rose Butler Lebron Gibson and Noah that is the NBA's best defense easy. Move Lebron to PF and insert Dunleavy and you got a potentially potent offense as well. Where do you see him ending up?
I think he stays in Miami. I see no reason for him to move right now. I believed him when he said yesterday that he was in a good place in his life. He did not sound like a guy who was ready to move on quite yet. I do find it interesting that his buddies salaries may end up hurting his chances to improve. As I argued in another thread I do not see Wade opting out. The guy does not look like he will get a long term contract from anyone other than Miami. i think he keeps his 20 million for the next two years. Bosh may opt out but re-sign with Miami and stay with Lebron.
PG: Kyrie Irving SG: Dion Waiters SF: LeBron James PF: Triston Thompson C: Joel Embiid / Anderson Varejao I think LeBron snaps Kyrie back into his 2012/2013 form: a top-3 PG. They could also consolidate the Embiid/Thompson/other pieces into a Kevin Love or LaMarcus Aldridge.
I think the only way LeBron goes back to Cleveland is if he feels like the pieces are there already. I don't think using the draft pick and going young is going to make him wanna jump. They need to bring him someone close to the caliber of Wade or Bosh to make him jump. Someone like Love or LA probably more LA. But I doubt Portland is going to move him. Especially with what they saw SA just do. They will keep Dame, LA and Batum together.
Now that the Heat have won 3 straight titles with Air James, I say he takes a break from basketball and plays minor league baseball next summer. He'll probably struggle with the curve balls, but he's such a gifted athlete that it's only a matter of time before he's winning batting titles in the majors. Oh, wait....
im gonna say he stays in miami, wade takes a big pay cut, lebron and bosh take modest pay cuts, and they bring in melo
There's no way Wade takes a pay cut. No chance. He's looking like Minnesota Brandon Roy. This is his last contract. He's not going to leave $20m on the table.
if wade doesnt opt out, lebron is gone. its like group sex, if one person wears a condom it ruins everything
I can see him staying in Miami. I'm sorry, maybe its my dislike for the guy but I don't see the pure desire for championships in LeBron. He's won 2 in Miami, he enjoys living down there, and in the Eastern Conference, that team can still contend every year. I can see Bosh opting out and taking a pay cut, I don't see Wade doing the same thing. Wade's career as he knows it is over, the man is done. He can't handle the strenuous NBA schedule anymore. LeBron either re-ups with Miami or goes back to Cleveland to finish out his career where it started. The prodigal son returns.
