    He's not gonna walk away from that.. May change uniforms, take the summer off but he will not walk away from the game.. Although Michael Jordan got burnt and walked but to pursue a baseball career.. That was a challenge for him.. Lebron isn't retiring from the NBA to pursue a career in the NFL that's for sure...
    Endorsements won't go away.. did MJ's Nike deal go away? Still, no one is suggesting he's going to retire other than A4K who I'm sure was just trying to be amusing.

    He could stay in Cleveland, they do have the 8th pick, maybe they get someone really good. Trade a future draft pick for another decent player. He doesn't need much else.

    Or go to LA with Paul George, they've got a few young guys with potential. Lonzo, Juluis Randle, Brandon Ingram, Kuzma.

    $$$$ has nothing to do with where he goes.
    NBA no hard cap fellas.
    If the Rockettes owner wants to win a chip, pay the man his money and pay the tax.

    Gilbert was like 30 million over cap and paying 50% of that in LuxTax. 1 ring. Bet he thinks it was worth it.

    San Antonio still makes sense to me. Sign Kawhi & LBJ. 1 or 2 supplemental moves. Tough out.

    Most of the western team are almost there and adding LeBron makes any of these team a championship winning team.
    Lakers, Spurs, Pelicans, Rockets, Minnesota etc
    Lakers young core are really talented and smart with a very intelligent coach. I see them challenge warriors with additions go if LeBron and PG
    LeBron and Kawhi with Pop need no explanation

    Pelicans with AD and LBJ with Rondo and Jrue will be deadly. May teams in the west that he can make OP easily. The challenge is can these stars cope with Lebron? Does he help with the development of this young players?
    Personally I think it's hard coach LeBron. He plays way too much, stats chasing, so I believe pop is th best coach for him

    Doesn't matter (although Lakers do have talented young guys), move would be based on LeBron moving closer to his outside business ventures at this stage of his career.

    ^^Rockets and Lakers top the list for Lebron... These line makers on futures usually have an inside tip to set these lines..

    I'm not sure Lebron wants to call Houston his home though.. I'm still leaning on him going to Laker land.. Depends if he wants to win more rings or not, if he does then he goes to Houston...

    Lot of talk that Kyrie wants to be in NY on the Knicks. From the area and they were one of teams he wanted to be traded to. Boston gonna have sit down with him this year and find out if he wants to stay or if not go ahead now and trade him. If he tells him that gonna go to free agency Boston will ship him out. That would open the door for LeBron

    i started a thread about this before the finals started called chris paul. Although not sure about it now. But green would never come here beause paul and him don't like each other. Also clint fits the system more.I still think they would of won if paul didn't get hurt

    Only ream Lebron to go to and be able to give GSW a run for the $$$$ would be Houston.....

    Wrong again? Harden? CP3 all need the ball in there hands? Tucker -eg would be gone - team chemistry won’t be good? Chris Paul gets hurt every year ? Lebron best move is to stay in the east - let the blood bath in the west Kill each other - no way guys like harden and Chris paul will be 3rd options - child please
