It would be cinema if Cleveland “gives” Lebron another shot at a title with the core they’ve gathered the last few years. From “Cleveland this is for you” to “LeBron this is for you.” 10 years later.

Aside from lucking into Luka and AR developing nicely the Lakers’ roster construction has been pure shite 2020 onwards.

+ Strus Wade Keon Schroeder

Defense wins championships

Harden: what he say fuck me for

Yes he was

Now that’s full circle

Good

If the Cavs get below the second apron of the cap, which they are only a few million away from doing. Then they could offer him the mid-level exception which is estimated to be around $15 million next year.

He’d more or less have to be

well LeBron has to decide if he really wants to win one more or not? he honestly could, but he’s gotta make sacrifices to win

Cavs refused to dump JA for a few 1st round picks + Vuc already. I think the goal would be to get under the 2nd apron (only 3mil away) which would open up our MLE and then sign him to that.

A sign and trade would work with Max Strus (16.6m next season) if Lebron signs for a dollar less than him. Think that’s a win-win for everyone because Strus would actually fit the current Lakers really well. Dude has stepped up in the playoffs yearly since his Heat days.

No reason for the Cavs to break up the core.

LeBron would be signing for much less than a max

We’re probably moving Max Strus in the offseason. Anything more than that I doubt we add him.

Strus and Schroeder

Bron could sign for the mid-level or vet min. Harden has a player option so he could opt out and sign for less per year to make it work.

The lakers have Hayes and ayton protecting the paint the cavs have Allen and mobley I think we all know which ones slightly better here

the Lakers would kill for an Evan Mobley tho

Part of the issue with Reaves and Luka pairing is that the type of player they can kind of guard is the same. Harden and Don overlap a little less. You can get away with hiding harden in a bigger player and Don on a quicker one.

Also the Cavs would secretly likely close with LeBron and Mobley at the ⁴⁄₅ and Tyson in there for defense. Depending on the matchup.

Allen, Mobley, and our other rotation players are light years ahead of the Lakers

Don is miles better than reaves defensively. I’d also assume Bron would play more as a 4 rather than a 3.

Harden Shooters/D Allen lineup. Bron, Don, Mobley lineup.

Dang you and Bron must be on crazy good terms to know all these things about him

They dont have to trade. Bron is FA.

If its sign and trade and Bron wants to go to Cavs, he would request to keep D Mitch anyway.

Bro if Bron goes out with a ring in fucking Cleveland with James harden I stg

theyre not trading dmitch for bron lmao. mitchell is 29 they wouldnt trade a player in his prime for lebron who even tho he’s 2 is a defensive liability and is 41. lebron has to get a small contract and smaller role if he wants to play on the cavs it’s only way they will make it happen especially if this team goes deep in the playoffs or even wins the finals.

“Can’t help” is crazy

Bron is still a top 30 player. I hope what you mean is he can’t be the primary or even maybe the #2 on a championship team which is fair, but he can absolutely be a starter on a championship team still and contribute at a high level.

I’d rather have bron then Caris levert

they talking about retirement type of situation a farewell tour, i think most have come to the conclusion that father time is waking him up in the morning asking him the ill fated question, “have you finished those errands?”

He’d be the 5th option lol.
