    Winning a ring with LBJ would be akin to a bubble title, cheap. But that's just me.

    We should steal some of Lebron's DNA and just start making Lebrons.

    A line up of 2 Dames and 3 Lebrons would be awesome!

    No it doesn't.

    Besides that it would take a LOT more than Simons and Sharpe, it doesn't mean shit.

    Says basically everyone not on a Blazers message board ... major improvement still doesn't put them on the 1st tier of teams. I get everyone is hyped by a 4-0 start but if you get the chance to make a real deal and put yourself in that conversation, you do it. This would be like adding Pippen to that 2000 team.

    I can see how that trade might bring us a championship but I would feel sick in a couple years with LeBron gone and Sharpe and Anf tearing up the league.

    we dont know how good ant & sharpe will become and we dont know how good of a teammates theyll have

    with lebron & dame, we might have 2 or 3 years to win the chip, if we keep ant & sharpe, i dont think we can contend during dames time here

    its risky move, all or nothing and yeah, it would suck to watch ant & sharpe (sharpe moreso) kill it for years to come

    It's like you haven't paid attention to 3 of the 4 seasons he's been in LA, and he's missed huge chunks of games. Father time is winning again.

    I would assume those who have always said this game is about trying to win a championship and nothing else matters, would say yes. LeBron would increase the odds of us winning a title (though we wouldn't be the favorites).

    I'm in the camp of wanting a longer-term competitive team and avoid the 4-5 stretches of being awful. For that reason, I say no.

    Used to be. He's in his 20th year for fucks sake.

    Not even sure why I'm debating this...this isn't the middle of the off season!

    Nothing will guarantee a ring. Any approach to winning a title can fail - but not all have the possibility of success.
