Tampering???

There's no tampering enforcement by players
Exactly and TP.
Per CBA, if for example, LBJ had a share in Klutch sports ownership than he would be investigated and possibly sanctioned.

Oh but I lay money on it , Lebron has backed that goon Clutch Sports , behind the scenes,  another way to add control to his career. Lightly side stepping the rules to be sure.  There is likey no paper trail , but Lebron is the puppeteer on certain levels.  A big chunk of money is paid to clutch sports ...not for nothing .  What a great way to influence and guide your career .

Jimmy and either cousins or Kyrie going to the Lakers would not be surprising at all.
it wouldn't surprise you to see kyrie leave to join the guy he wanted to get away from?

Yea I have been debating with phosita for many years on here, generally agree with his viewpoints. And I just can’t wrap my head around on this take. I’ll give him a 100 of my tps if it somehow happens

I could see Butler and Cousins.  definitely not Kyrie, Durant or Kawhi

that'll get them to the playoffs but as a mid-level team and out by the second round

If Kyrie is leaving I really want to see him join Butler and Lebron on the Lakers. That would be a mess of a team.

Just because you apologize to your ex for cheating or treating them wrong does not mean you want to climb back into bed with them and try it again. I just don't believe Kyrie will ever play with Lebron again. It would be a defining moment in his career and he would always be remembered as Lebron's boy. Kyrie just does not have the mentality and acceptance that he needs Lebron to win and I seem to agree with that. Then again, Lebron only has a few more years left and then the Lakers would become Kyrie's but to get back into that bed he ran from makes little sense to me....phone call or not, it just doesn't pass the logic test to me.

Same here.  To make a Dark Knight parallel, Pho is Harvey Dent and this season was like Rachel getting blown up.  He has become Two Face.

Lebron craves the attention so much, I see him playing for at least another four seasons.  Kyrie would be a 31-yr-old point guard just barely hanging on to his prime.  With bad knees and a slender frame (unlike say Kyle Lowry or Chris Paul who are very physical still to this day).

Not only would Kyrie go back to someone he escaped from, but to a worse roster with serious question marks, problematic front office, and suspect coaching philosophy. Frank Vogel was always a coach that people loved or hated. Players fought hard for him, but the Pacers teams never beat LeBron, because there wasn't enough plays built to allow Hibbert, George, and West to take advantage of the Heat's size.

Ball - Dominant PG with solid defense, but cannot shoot.
Ingram - Blood clots, serious liability on shooting/defense
Kuzma - Overrated shot chucker, can't defend anyone, unable to shoot 3's

Then you have Rondo, and McGee, who both have team options.

Out of everyone in their roster, who is actually talented enough as a star? Maybe Ball.

That being said, Kawhi wouldn't go there. Clippers look more interesting, plus Kawhi and LeBron are not good fits for each other in terms of scoring separation. LeBron is too ball dominant, and Kawhi likes to score at crunch time.

The notion Kyrie would go back by the way to an even worse situation is ridiculous to me, and not even worth debating about.

Actually, it often does mean that.

Doesn't always mean you get the desired result.  :P

He tried to recruit last year, too but no one came, someday he will realize that people don't care for egomaniacs.

Well, there are reports that Irving was hanging out with Lebron last weekend so there’s that. Nothing surprises me with Kyrie anymore.
