Heat vs Cavs opening day and we don’t know what team he’s on until he comes out of one locker room lol

Shams wouldn’t allow that

Once he officially signs it’s public record so I don’t think that would work

Also I highly doubt he’d be ready for the season if he was simply training by himself

I would find that to be a lot of fun, albeit highly unlikely to happen/not necessarily feasible.

How would that even work?

It would be impossible for that not to leak eventually before the season

[removed]

Woj would come out of retirement to break the story early then immediately retire again

You should post in secret

lol thinking this is possible

I think LeBron will announce his decision soon

Yeah that’s not how any of this works

Impossible but would be incredible

Zero chance that can happen today with social media

This who LeBron thing is just annoying af at this point

Would be cool but impossible

That’s a dope concept but would be impossible in today’s age without a leak

Someone posted this weeks ago. Can we just kidnap him, lock him in a room, and force him to make decision.

LeBron signs neither late nor early. He signs precisely when he means to.

The NBA has a transaction wire that gets sent to media, making this impossible.

You’d probably be able tell based on the opening day, Thanksgiving and Christmas schedule.

This is some Vince McMahon WWF era shit.

“IT WAS ME ADAM! IT WAS ME THE WHOLE TIME!”

Mike Breen: SONOFABITCH!

That’s not possible in 2026. Someone would take a picture of him outside the team facility and it will be on the news instantly

excellent idea!  They should hire a bunch of giant tall guys and plant them on a number of the secretly-losing “Lebron contender” teams.  On opening night, these guys and Lebron would all wear crazy costumes ala the Masked Singer (except in this case it would be the Masked Basketball Player) and go through warmups.  

Which one is Lebron?  We’d have to wait until just before tipoff when all kinds of lasers and fireworks go off and when the smoke clears, one of them is the actual Lebron in his uniform and the other guys are like random former college players who slink off into the locker room, never to be seen again.

Wow that would drive ratings.

Schrodinger’s LeBron

And opening day game should be played outdoors on assfault because how big is outdoor? can hold millions. Nba will benefit and also you can bring pets to game because its outdoor

It would never happen but I love the idea. Have NBC broadcast at least 1 game of every team over weekend. Basketball all day and eventually he is in one of the starting lineups

Is this what the nba has become? Drama for the sake of drama, because the game can’t carry itself anymore.

They should give every team a sealed pack of NBA trading cards that the owners must open. The one who pulls LeBron’s card gets him

Guys, just remember this is about how much the average user on this subreddit understands the actual rules and functions of the NBA next time you’re arguing with someone. 

He’s a media whore. He simply couldn’t, can’t, or won’t do anything that a drama queen wouldn’t do.

Obviously this would never work in the practicality, but it would be amazing if it was possible. A real shame. It could’ve been like a pro wrestling angle. “BAH GAWD ALMIGHTY, THAT’S LEBRON JAMES’ MUSIC!” as he hits the floor late in the fourth quarter of [enter team name here]’s game while trailing by four.

I just read this while the trailer of Satan’s alley was playing in the background

I’ve always thought this would be a cool ass idea. Just would never work.

He’s signing in the Euroleague. He doesn’t have a Euroleague title yet

He should have a WWE style entrance while they are announcing starting lineups. Pyro and everything

In a shams world???

The betting markets would never allow it

He’s signed to every team in the NBA

How unrealistic is it to think a secret like that could be held for months?I can’t even believe that’s even someone’s coherent thought

dude people track their flights and shit. Somewhere someone probably knows what he had for lunch yesterday.

It’s impossible but it would be pretty fun it if happened that way.

Lebron ain’t that special. He should stop locking the league out because he wants to be a drama queen.

Do they not submit final rosters? Would the press not see him going to a team facility? Fanciful thinking.

He and klutch like the attention imo and his fans love the attention they get by being his fans

Not a chance….

• He would
• or that everybody involved would be able to keep it a secret from the public that long

Why make aware the players and the coaches? Just don’t. Only the owner and GM.

And then 30 minutes before tip-off, the players see LeBron entering their locker room

You should have kept this post a secret.

And lose out in tens of millions of jersey sales? That’s a costly troll

The team who will pay him millions will want to announce that lol

Gambling is causing this wait.

Do you know how hard it is to keep a secret when even a handful of people know?

Do you know how hard it is to keep a secret when even a handful of people know?

it would leak immediately

Just come out on opening night like a wrestler lol

Ill bet Lebron is trying to keep it a secret until they have to release the schedule, just so he can maybe not have to play on Christmas this year. Hasn’t he played Christmas day games for some ridiculously long streak?

No chance in heck it wouldn’t get leaked until opening night tipoff lol

That would be awesome and climatic 

LeYanna Stark

So what they’re not going to practice then? Lol

This will result in the most anticipated Opening Weekend in NBA History. Millions will tune in to watch every game to see which team Lebron is playing for

Did you forget social media exists? People will find out as soon as LeBron’s plane land to go sign his contract.

lol nba would never allow it.

Already bitching as it is. Slaves to their TV contracts

Lesuspense

Ignoring everything else, the schedule would leak it. His team is gonna be scheduled for Christmas and opening night and everything else important

This was a funny joke until that third paragraph ruined it.

The contract has to be filed with the league office and the league office announces all transactions.

I wouldn’t bother posting that if OP didn’t include that third paragraph.

he shouldnt even be on the team sheet, he should come running in and taking off his jacket wwe style in the 3rd quarter of the team he chooses.

It would have to be in a bubble with every team there. Because it’d be hard hiding players departing airplanes or leaving training facilities

AEW level crowd pop incoming

Teleprompter Guy will make bank.

LeBron: I’ll make my decision at the deadline during the season. I want to take some time off.
