    He’s a former Number 1 pick for a reason. Talent is there, it’s his desire that is always questioned just like Parish when he was still in Golden State.

    Hopefully happy enough to stay at a slightly cut rate next year.

    We’re gonna have to do a bit of cap gymnastics to bring all of Reaves, Rui, Ayton, Smart and Lebron back.

    Vet minimum who says no?

    :Laugh:

    heck, we'll draft your other kid in the 2nd round. No guaranteed contract this time, but all 3 of ya'all can play in a game.

    Yeah... but you're both wrong haha. If Lebron can play 50-60 games a year plus the playoffs at an All NBA level, he is definitely someone to bring back. The question only remains, at what price point?

    Not to derail the Ayton thread because I'd like to bring him back as a 20-25m role player.
