Update: Courtney Lee is out with a groin injury
I love the lottery in the NBA, cause think of all the teams that'd be losing on purpose to build their team with LBJ AND this year number one pick.
Do you think Lebron would be able to turn down the Nets offer if they had all that salary space, brook lopez, devin harris, #1 overall pick, and courtney lee?
I'd say yes, IMO.
Even with all that, Lebron in NJ would make playoffs, but advance no further than 2nd round if that, IMO. Not enough experience.
And they could bring in anyone else available for the max (Bosh, Wade, etc). Still 2nd round of playoffs if that.
Lebron is the 1st or 2nd best player in the League, but he can't do it all by himself.
IMO, he would need to be with KG, Pierce, Ray, Kobe, Gasol, Dwight, Duncan, Nowitzki....one of those type players in order to be Championship-Eligible.
And I said in another thread that Boston has the best pieces in place for him for a bright future (Rondo/Perk).
Will be a very interesting NBA year. Landscape of NBA is about to change I believe.
