Not if its a trade. KD left in free agency. That was his choice and his choice alone. In this case, LeBron would be getting traded because he wouldn't commit to coming back in 2018. And Gilbert would be the one trading him because he doesn't want to lose him for nothing in 2018.

The LeBron camp could spin this as a Dan Gilbert move because LeBron wouldn't give up his right to test free agency in 2018.

U just said he had a no trade clause so he still is in control of it. The backlash will be worst cause its an underhanded way to leave and would gut the team he is going to anyway with his 35 mil a year so he would still be fukked.

Only way bron leaves the cavs this season is with a buyout where he is leaving tons of dough on the table.

Gilbert got his ring and now on his troll shyt with meeting up with trump smiling while bron endorsed hillary instead of on the phones looking for trades. Bron's crude business tacticts aint got nothin on billionaire cac tactics. Gon be an ugly summer when all these teams with space are either tooling up or grooming young stars while the cavs stay put like nikkas gonna lay down and get rolled on again

The Cavs were one timely KD three away from having the Finals tied at 2-2. LeBron believes in himself.

Having said that..do it Morey!:mjgrin:
That was game 3 :dahell:. There's no indication game 4 unfolds the same exact way if the cavaliers take game 3. That horrid officiating was basically because the league wanted the extra revenue of another game.

Lebron has really fukked some of you in the head and there's no going back for y'all.

He may leave when he can, but basic common sense should tell you a trade isn't happening.

I agree OP, but I think during the season. I can see Dan Gilbert finally getting tired of hearing Lebron run his franchise. and I can see Bron frustration boiling over. All I know is I see something crazy happening between these two

Frustration???? :dahell:

Lebron guarantees you a trip to the NBA finals.

Stop it.

Probably won't happen but I get where OP is coming from. Bron clearly want to leave and the owner doesn't want to get fleeced like last time. If Bron want to go he should just tell Dan Gilbert to trade him and leave on good terms. Doesn't Bron want to own the Cavs one day? If he gets traded Cavs will get a healthy return package, and whenever Bron retires and wants to buy into the Cavs they won't suck.
Healthy return package :mjlol:

So now Lebron is gonna agree to send a bunch of assets that would help him win, to go join the Cavs team he just left for the 2nd time instead? :jagfan:

Yall need to hone your critical thinking skills.

this is another Bushes thread, btw

A much more likely bold prediction is that OP becomes a registered sex offender in the next 5 years

Which is...

There's no team other than Golden State that has the assets needed to withstand a LeBron trade

Lakers

Magic will trade the untradeable Brandon Ingram for LeBron James. :mjgrin:

Then the Lakers will trade Julius Randle and some of the recent draft picks for Paul George.

Lakers would have a lineup of:

Lonzo
George
LeBron
Nance Jr.
Lopez

Before ya'll nikkas lose ya mind, hear me out. Assuming the Cavs don't pull off any blockbuster trades this off-season, I think LeBron will be traded.

LeBron James knows his basketball clock is running out. He will not let himself play the 2017-18 season with the same crew the Warriors ran off the court. I believe that after its obvious the Cavs can't trade Kevin Love for another star, LeBron will let Daniel Gilbert know that he won't resign in 2018. Rather than losing him for nothing once again, Gilbert will attempt to trade LeBron. I think LeBron will lift his no-trade clause for the right team because he doesn't want to lose a year in his prime on a team he knows has zero chance to win a ring. LeBron will be 33 this upcoming season. He knows his basketball clock is running out. He knows he can't waste anymore seasons on a team he knows will be nothing more than a sacrificial lamb in the finals for the Warriors.

Since I don't think the Cavs will land someone like Paul George, I think LeBron will privately demand a trade and Dan Gilbert will oblige.
Since you people are always saying LeBron has a cakewalk to the finals, why would the Cavs trade him and forfeit a 2018 finals appearance? So they can have 2-3 seasons of some players who won't get them anywhere?
