Lebron to stay with the Cavs: 30% Lebron to Philly: 60% Lebron to Bulls: 90% + Show Spoiler + clickbait made up stats, but I will stand by my Lebron to West stat. He has breezed through to the finals all his career and there is no point risking the streak in the wild wild West, not even for the Lakers, UNLESS LA get PG and KL! | ||

I think Philly is the big front runner because of the talent and east. That being said simmons is doing amazing with the ball in his hands, LBJ has always had the ball in his hands, would it work? I'm guessing LeBron can adjust but who knows. Otherwise Lakers if they can surround him with enough talent would be a great option, famous franchise and near his home. I could also see Hou or GS. Any top team that can find the cap space I think he would consider. Lebron, adjust, lol. | ||

Was he just not wanting to be part of the shitshow that was going to be the end of this Lebron in Cleveland stay. Its pretty clear that anyone who doesn't think they absolutely need LeBron to achieve something finds him intolerable | ||

As an semi-off tangent point, I think Lebron is a team's greatest asset, as well as its greatest liability. Teams gut themselves for a chance to have one of the goats, management-wise. Play-wise, teams also suffer because everything has to be run through Lebron. In this sense Westbrook is Lebron-lite, with less legacy-awareness and less media-political-correctness. Since his insistence to run the offense at the point position (an attempt to chase the ghost of Chicago, not through the mythical level of greatness or psychotic killer instinct as he knows this ship has sailed after the Dallas defeat and the relative disappointment in Miami, but through the statistical records), all Cavs offense has been teammates watching and waiting for him to drive and kick out. This might work in bursts, especially when he was younger, but this is not a sustainable strategy, and not something a championship contending team should do. All this complaints about Lebron being lazy on defense, he is tired from carrying his team, hE nEedS mOrE heLP, not having killer instinct, not demanding for the final shot in game winning situations, arise from this. Lebron priority is his legacy first and team second. For sure he hopes that his astronomic and amazing personal statistical performance and records would translate to team victory, but it is difficult to see him adjust and give up the control of their offense and be content in working on the post, setting screens, and running around the defense, and it is even more difficult to imagine given that a few more records (highest points of all time, especially) are within reach. | ||

im not saying i disagree with you but you imply that lebron cant anymore take over jordan as #1? and im always wary about stat comparisons being a statistician by profession but dont you think its a legitimate basis in comparing players instead of this killer instinct and owning responsibility thing people always bring up? | ||

Rewatching the PHI/MIA right now 8D; only watched parts of it yest. edit: and finally we see what going right at Anthony as much as you can in OKC defense gets you. This is what I wanted to see TOR to do to OKC in that nationally-cast game a few weeks ago. | ||
