Man i was pondering this, if your LBJ and if your number priority is still winning titles why not go to boston? (i'm a bulls fan not a celtics fan so i'm not being bias)

but looking at the big picture here, if you sign a 2 year with a 1 year opt out clause for a little less money you would essentially be on a team that went to game 7 of the ECF without their 2 best players. Also you have assets to make more moves and trades. If kyrie doesn't want play nice with bron you peddle him to the blazers in an even swap with dame lilliard. Then the play of jayson tatum makes gordon expendable not to mention his 31 million dollar contract. So why not call up the twolves and offer gordon, jalen brown (have to give up a young piece) and 1 first rounder (you have zillions) for jimmy butler and taj gibson. Jimmy is beefing with wiggins so one of them have 2 go. Now if your boston you can really compete with this team

Horford/ Baynes
Lebron/ Marcus Morris
tatum/ that draft pick
jimmy/ marcus smart/ cheap vet
dame/ marcus smart/ cheap vet

that team would beat GS


Or you offer kyrie and gordon and picks for AD and go from there.

Philly has a higher ceiling with embeed but until simmons develops a consistent outside shot, he might as well be TT out there with lebron since teams wont guard him outside the paint.

Lakers may not even need all 3. If it’s just Bron and PG you still can keep Brandon Ingram and Kuzma. That’s still a lot of firepower. Don’t know if that wins the title next season though but this GSW Popcorn is almost done do not get it twisted

The fact that Paul George would rather stay with Westbrook than go play with Lebron says something. I don't think it's a location thing. I just don't think players wanna play Bron Ball.

OKC can offer him an extra year on his contract. So it would cost George around 30 to 35 million to leave OKC and go to LA...

This is misleading. It’s the same money just that OKC can give him the 5th year but PG is young enough and can get another contract with the Lakers if he takes care of business as far as stayin healthy and takin care of his body
