LABron James Discussion: Triple Triple Doubles

Yeah I'm not sure I'm trying to go get Damian Lillard. I could see it happening, but I'm not sure that's my move. My first and only concern is nailing down George/LeBron. After that, let's start talking about what other veteran we might need to get. Do we need rim protection? Do we need more spacing? What's the deal when we get there, but first... let's get there.

And I love that thread. 85% of them saying we'd still suck and the Rockets would still be better and 15% saying we'd be elite and they'd stop being NBA fans.

 

So cryptic , she had to know fans were gonna run wild with this. The post is from NY, people in the comments pointing out LeBron and Kawhi are both in NY right now. Nothing can even happen right now and people are going crazy with speculation, actual free agency is gonna be nuts.

 

I sure as hell wouldn’t trade Zo, Ingram, and Kuz for Lillard. He’s a fantastic player, but that’s 3 players on rookie deals that are major contributors and are just getting started. My preferred plan would still be get LeBron and PG, trade Deng, retain Randle and ALL of Zo, Ingram, Kuz, and Hart, and fill out the roster with ring chasing vets, hopefully even keep Lopez with the room exception. I’ve changed my mind on him if we get those 2 key stars, he’d be very valuable.

 

Spoiler: rated PG13

 

Oh man, I use this site 99.9% of the time on my phone, and I don’t see people’s sigs on here unless I turn my phone sideways, which I never do. So I didn’t even see your signature until you brought it up. We’re on the same page, it’s the best plan to me, keep almost every one of our young core and add a couple stars to it, don’t trade 2 or 3 of them away for one more star and destroy the depth we’d have.

 

We need some of those quotes in the Doom thread

 

All extremely well said and great points.

 

I doubt we give up Lonzo and Ingram for Lillard. But Lonzo and Kuz with Deng for salaries and a first rounder? I can see that. A team with Ingram, Lillard, Hart, and Zu with nothing else on the roster? There's like zero cap wasted space. Lebron and PG would undoubtedly sign with us at that point.

 

That’s really weird to me, it can’t be anything free agent related, because we can’t speak to free agents until July 1st. I can’t imagine it’s anything big.

 

I would guess it’s related to Real’s connection news about possible tampering. If we already have a wink wink deal in place I have no problem paying a big fine as long as Silver doesn’t block the deal.

 

Weezy, you wonderful naive, beautiful, trusting soul. One of Magic & Pelinka's biggest selling points was their ability to get on the level of other teams' somewhat-but-not-really legal tampering practices. We've been ushered into the 21st century of acceptable cheating, and it's lovely to be here.

 

Ramona says the Lakers are actually VERY scared of the tampering charges at this point so they're not doing what we think they're doing.

They're letting the players do their thing behind the scenes.

 

I should have used quotes. We can’t “talk” to free agents until July 1st. Our guys can talk to guys who can talk to guys though. And our players can talk to guys, the soon to be free agents can talk to eachother. My point was, Jeanie wouldn’t be tweeting about anything like that this far ahead of free agency, considering we’ve been fined twice for tempering, that would be foolish on her part. So if she was tweeting in reference to anything big I’d have to assume it was trade related if it were actually about anything of note.
