    I know this trade would never ACTUALLY happen for a whole variety of reasons, but if you were GM and Cleveland called up and said "we know we're losing LeBron in free agency and our team is a shitshow right now, so let's cut the cord early and get something for him. Give us CJ and you've got most of the season to persuade LeBron to re-sign in Portland. And if he doesn't, at least you get the best player of the past decade on your team for a while" would you pull the trigger?

    So we pretend he has no NTC? Because if he waived it for us that'd be telling..

    Slam me if you wish. I'm sorry but everyone who says "Yes but only if he'll re-sign" is a damn fool. That's exactly why the will always be considered a middle of the road team. To scared to pull the trigger on the big one. I'd trade CJ for LBJ everyday of the week and twice on Sunday!

    Without even the slightest bit of hesitation, regardless of the contract circumstances.

    Isn't it like LaBum needs four super stars in S5 to get into playoffs? His latest comments was "we need Jordan and Pippen and we will be good team again". So, no tnx.

    I probably would but I don't understand why we even think about persuading LeBron to stay here beyond Summer, it would never ever happen.

    I am not going to call him out but you can click on it and it will tell you who did it.
    But you can guess who it was without clicking. I bet you get it right.
