It'd be interesting if SA got into the Lebron discussion. Maybe instead of trading Leonard entice him with playing Lebron instead? Plus it'd be entertaining to finally watch Lebron play in a REAL SYSTEM in the NBA because his whole career on offense has been give the ball to him and let him work his magic.

Had real hope for that this year prior to it going sideways with KL.  Really thought it was a legit option considering James love for pop.  It’s almost certainly not on the table now.

Lebron aint got time for him to develop his shot.

:lmao: no one is saying he has to be Stephen Curry next season, but if you actually think it won't improve slightly and that the 76er's will coast to the ECF and probably the NBA finals just adding LeBron to what is all already there you are fooling yourself. Assuming they stay healthy.

One of the interesting subplots of the Sixers pitch is Joshua Harris. All NBA owners are rich, but he's the managing director of a top private equity group and LeBron is supposed to be considering business beyond basketball.

If he signed with the Sixers and the Apollo Group just happens to want to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in a company LeBron's wife has an interest in, I assume that would be some sort of cap violation.  :unsure:

it's funny but most people don't realize. talking about Magic as a guy to learn from going forward, Harris owns like half the world. Everybody says it is just like E Corp from Mr. Robot. don't get me wrong, dude is not a good human being, but if you want to learn how to make money post-playing he is a good bet

That Nick Wright dude said this morning Lebron has made decision and will announce Tues. 

So Bron’s camp meeting with Philly for ####s and giggles? 

Some of these reporters don’t even use common sense.

Wright is a clown. He has a very punchable face and half the time he flip flops. He talked a lot of sh** on the Eagles all year too and couldn't even admit the Eagles were a better team then his Giants. This just isn't a Philly guy hating on Wright though because I've seen a ton of people complaining about him daily on social media. However I wouldn't be surprised if Lebron's camp did this. Wade's camp somewhat did this as well as Lebron to Chi in 2010 but they never met with Chicago and Wade called the meeting off. Honestly if I was Lebron I'd play these teams against one another and see who balks first. Get the best deal and scenario possible for me.

You need to get used to this, if she has dated you for more than 2 years there is a list of at least 10 foods she will pick over you. If it is less than 2 years that might be something you want to watch out for and get out now.

He is LeBron freaking James, he can go any where he wants and will get the best deal possible and no one would even try to low ball him on the chance he gets mad and changes his mind.

Improving slightly on 0-11 from 3s and less than 60% from the line?

It's our second date. Just testing out free agency

yeah, it doesn't make much sense if it were to be true. Why wouldn't he just announce his team earlier then instead of waiting until Tuesday?

Well he did say he doesn't regret the Whole Decision thing. Overall maybe it's just last minute home work just to make sure. Maybe he wants to see some pitches just in case. Maybe he's using teams against each other. A lot of possibilities.

Lebron to the Lakers @ 4/154, per Woj and Shams.

gross if true. Lebron obviously doesn't care. hope he has fun on a sub .500 team. maybe he is completely gullible and believes the sports channels. i hope Boogie is the reason

So LeBron is done winning titles. That's cool. More power to him. I wish him the best of luck in his business ventures after basketball.

Is Josh Hart a legit asset? I've read some buzz about SA really liking him. 
Click to expand...
Might be a little biased since he was a Nova guy but I liked Hart in college. Decent shooter and his mindset fits what Pop and SAS has culturally. He's not a world beater but I could see Pop turning him into a valuable asset off the bench who can start games here and there when needed.

Yeah totally gross. Always hated the Lakers and been an LBJ fan this is going to be tough. 

 
Kind of feel like this hurts the Spurs trading Kawhi now. Philly will be scared to pull a big deal on a rental, and Kawhi probably wants to go to LA even more now and the Lakers might not be willing to up their offer.

Well now I would say Philly is better off not trading for Leonard.
