LeBron should just play for every team this season
I suggest LeBron play 2.73 games for each team this season and then all teams collectively split his contract 30 ways.
He’s the automatic 4.
At the end of each game there can be another decision documentary.
Find the kids from the original decision and fly them around the country so he can announce in front of the same now-grownups 30 times.
That’s going to be inconvienient for Donovan Mitchell
Why not just have LeBron play for each team every time the Cavs play them?
use very fast jets for Mitchell
Eh if he dies he dies
He just joins the winning team if his team loses. The goal being to stick to a streaking team through the playoffs.
Le Menage a Trente, brought to you by Lebron James
so lebron’s hopping teams midgame or what
Fire idea. Just 10 day contracts on every team.
Best farewell tour of all time.
He only plays home games all season. Maybe two or three home games. Hell, even the Wizards would sell out.
Winner of the NBA Cup gets Lebron for the playoffs.
I just said this same thing!!! Great idea honestly
You got it backwards, he only plays AWAY games for teams that are rolling through the LA area either against the Clippers or Lakers. Then he doesn’t even have to travel.
This is the most delightfully lazy thing I’ve heard, PLEASE IF SOMEONE OUT THERE IS LISTENING!
I’m imagining the Suns arriving to the “AWAY” locker room at Crypto and Bron just comes in dapping everyone up with 15 new handshakes, “WHAT’S OUR GAME PLAN BOYS?”
Documentary Title: “The Journeyman”
“The ultimate goodbye tour for the games greatest NBA legend, we followed his journey from childhood to retirement now follow him from the Atlanta Hawks to the Utah Jazz”
“10 days till retirement… awaits another 10 days”
Automatically secures him a ring too since he’ll touch every team. “This ring is for the league, the sport itself, you’re all apart of it”
Light the Beam, King
He already knows their gameplan. He’s Lebron.
or the flipside - he only signs with teams playing the Lakers
he gets to stay in Los Angeles and be the first and only player to play for multiple teams and against only one team
Except it’s in alphabetical order, and he’s joining the 21-59 Wizards
Guaranteed ring
And we get to pick the next team by vote.
He should go to Philly…So he can take turns flopping with Embiid AND compare pregame head tar with JB
He plays for every team coming to LA. Never leaves home. Then signs contract for his favourite in Feb
Love this.. he can play two games with each team that has a Clipper-Laker road trip
LAbrons
Whatch Sacramento use their 10day slot over the all star break
Not OPs idea… stole from bill simmons
It would be 2.83 games each. You forgot to remove Memphis
Yeah, he’ll never play for them bums.
If we make it 3 games for each team, 27 teams will make it up to 81. One is Memphis for sure, what would be the other two teams that don’t get to play him?
Miami , Cleveland and LA. Since they’ve already had their turn
Cleveland has to be in the movie, so Memphis, Miami, La then lol.
2.86, you forgot about the 83rd in season tournament final game. 2.96 if we wanna go ahead & eliminate the Lakers, too.
The Raptors will volunteer to forfeit a couple games to give us a nice 3.00 for the rest of the L.
What about the playoffs? Does he just switch off each game or something?
His playoff team is picked at random and whoever beats his team gets to add him to their playoff roster.
Ah so like the 76ers with Brown.
Is the best idea I’ve ever heard of
they could stretch the schedule out a bit and it’d be possible for him to play for every team in every series but he might need to switch teams at halftime in the early rounds
True and if a team goes down 3-1 he should automatically play for them the rest of the series
brilliant.
what if in game 7 he wears a special uniform and he’s the 11th player on the court and he just does whatever he wants so each team has to figure out how to get him to benefit them. like he’s just gonna do whatever he thinks will make him happiest
LeBron James performing an impersonation of a cat
An orange cat specifically
Now we’re really cooking
So he becomes a ref like Scott Foster when he sees Chris Paul on the court?
Quidditch who?
He switches uniforms at halftime that way he plays for every team equally and is guaranteed to advance no matter what
Brilliant AND guaranteed a ring
Switches every game
If they let him pick which game he wants to play at, and make it a surprise for the fans, people would have to go to every single game around the league for a chance to see lebrons final season. Easy money for the arenas and teams
No, he switches during the game. At halftime.
He runs an instagram poll
He just always plays for the away team to balance home court advantage
That’s exactly what he should do. Just sign a subscription trial type contract, then either renew or let it expire depending on the outcome lol.
Play for whatever team is facing the lakers that night
I thought Cavs but yeah that was my first thought. Let him come home to Cleveland but play against us every night. But if we make the playoffs we get him
No you get all 7 games in Cleveland but he plays 3-4 games for the away team based on seeding, what’s fair is fair
He should come off the bench whenever Bronny is playing as an extra player. Provide that fatherly motivation
Im for this just so i can get a Lebron Bulls jersey
No. His basketball reference page would be painful to look at.
Bill simmons already suggested lebron sign a week contract with every team.
I’ve seen this post like 20 times at this point
He should travel with the lakers all season but play for their opponent
He should go back to LA and come off the bench with Bronny the dynamic duo to save the game from the pasties
Someone wrote this into Bill Simmons and he talked about for a little bit. This would be amazing. Imagine the ticket sales and anticipation for your team’s turn to have LeBron in February?
I can’t figure it out, but I’m absolutely sure there is a Dennis Schroder joke in here somewhere.
i can’t imagine he’s got it in him to do allat at 42
Sure, he can stagger teams to minimize travel. Signing 1 game contracts is a better idea. Play in the same building for 6-10 games at a time by switching teams.
What if he just plays for every team that wins the game he’s playing in?
His jersey will be retired everywhere.
All he has to do is call all time QB. Its a tough job though, not every kid wants it ya know
If we’re meme’ing, then what they can do is treat LeBron like an unofficial winner trophy. What this means is that every time a team that LeBron is on loses, he transfers to the team that won.
Amazon buys all of “LeGames” so he just plays for the home team that’s being televised
He should also be GM for each team for a week and he should get a son of his signed on to each team
A little dabbling never hurt anybody.
Sign with Philly tomorrow on July 4th. On the 250th anniversary of the USA.
Honestly? This would be great TV
Honestly? I think you have a point!
He should just sign a 1 year deal with the NBA and pick his games to play.
Could he get to every team if after each game played he just joined the other team? Someone needs ro map this out for the whole season.
Unironically I agree. Especially with his documentary following him around.
Then sign with Cleveland or the Warriors right before the playoff cutoff date in March
Guaranteed 6th championship ring. Michael, who???
This would be so amazing
LeBron should play for whoever wins summer league
I’d say just divide him into 30 2.7” Mini Lebrons and have one on each team. He’d have to give up certain aspects of his game, but I could see him being quite a pest on defense, although that would likely be a wash if the other team had its own Lebron in at the same time.
Everything for a ring
Honestly lebron doing a Trevor bauer esque vlog run while speed running every nba team would do insane numbers
That would be kinda fun ngl lmao
Imagine all the PE Nikes would release… ny skyline , liberty bell rocky statute, cheese when he’s on the Bucks etc…what a farewell tour. Brilliant idea
He should just commission the league this year and also handle all roster transactions 😂
I wonder if they can manage this if he just joined the away team after every game.
LAL for the first game. Then he packs his things and goes with the opponent. Repeat. Call it the Mercenary Season or something.
that’s an interesting idea. go home to Akron and play for whomever is playing the Cavaliers that night. good 41 game load managed schedule. only issue is he wouldn’t make the playoffs.
the math checks out. 82⁄30 = 2.73. i respect the precision
So basically what he’s been doing his whole career
He’s played for 3 teams.
He switched teams 4 times and will have played for 5 different ‘teams’. You can try to minimize it but it’s all cope. And he went to stacked teams every time. Never won without a top 75 and still needed to get bailed out twice in a cakewalk of a conference
I wouldn’t want the distraction of having him for his last season, and having to hear about it being his last season all season long would drive me nuts
Imagine if he wins them all, he’ll be the first 82-0 player
Take a page out of Carlos sainz playbook
Live in Cleveland. Play for the visiting team every night against the Cavs 😂
Just stay in Cleveland play for their opponent each night and swap to Cleveland for the playoffs and final home game.
This is the way!!
I’d love the idea of having Bron just be a one day rental for whatever team is willing to play to win that day. Just as long as no other team can rent him for more than 1 game. It’d be fun to see him in like the spurs play against the knicks for just one game and then have him on GSW against the 76ers on the next. That way everyone can stop speculating if hed actually be good on a team or not.
I can’t wait for him to demoralize us when LeBronto comes to down only for the tables to finally be turned and he gives us his talents. Then we find a way to steal them like Space Jam
Should we also have a lottery to determine his play order?
Dang he would automatically get a ring. Imagine a player getting traded like this to set the rings record
Someone had this idea during a bill simmons mailbag episode
I like to imagine for the .73, he just switches teams right before the end of the 3rd quarter.
Hey NBA, imagine all the jerseys you could sell.
Lebron James should join the Harlem Globetrotters.
You know what…maybe
We call dibs on him for the entirety of the playoffs.
And he will be the first player to win a ring and have 7 first round exist in the same season
Depending on the schedule, he might be able to play 90+ games if traded to teams that have played less games each time. That way he could play almost 4 games for each team and potentially at least 1 home game for each of them.
Stole this from bill simmons
Can we start with Brooklyn. Nothing like Brooklyn in the Fall. And end with Summer time in Chicago.
Someone should Tanya Harden LeBron
Tonya Harding, jfc
Why don’t we just make him the Cup prize at this point?
LeBron fifth ring guaranteed?
