 I can't stand LeBron but I think this is worth asking. LeBron's stock is plummeting.

 Let's say we do it.

Horford
LeBron
Tatum
Brown
Irving

No

1. Kyrie left BECAUSE of lebron. So now you're stuck with kyrie leaving

2. Lebrons overpaid. He's gonna be more overpaid as time goes on

3. Lebrons getting injured now. Bad sign about health and father time

4. Klutch sports will force the team sign someone like KCP or JR Smith first. They're the mafia of the nba

5. I'd rather beat lebron or lose trying, than join Him in winning

Without question! Replace Gordon with LeBron and this team wins the title.

Why would the Lakers do that?

Absolutely not. LeBum is a depreciating asset and the rate of depreciation is increasing.

Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

Heh, you're gonna be taking an awfully load of bags with LeBron. Klutch Sports, and LeBron the GM and LeBron the Coach. He'll be running Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens out this organization. He'll be running Wyc out this town too.

On a bit sarcastic note - Gordon's contract expires a year earlier, so I'd pick him.

There is just no way for me as a Celtic fan to pick LeBron between the two.

Like the Lakers were going to instantly become a 45 win team?

I think LeBron would ruin our young guys, ruin our coach, all while not helping us win as much as people think he would. Plus, goodbye to Kyrie.

So what you're really looking at is:
Horford -> aging
LeBron -> aging quickly
Tatum -> never getting the touches or coaching needed to develop
JB -> see above ^
Rozier / other -> Kyrie would go to New York and play with KD.

Replace Brad with Ty Lue and bingo! That team is just a worse version of the current Bucks squad, and would get trounced by them, Toronto (assuming Kawhi stays), Philly, KD & Kyrie NYK, and maybe Indy.

I would not because LeBron lacks the character that it takes to be a Celtic.   He should never wear the green.

In a vacuum sure, but I still would be concerned about how it would look to trade Hayward.  I think it would be very hard for Ainge to lure top free agents if he did that.

personal hate for lebron aside.

On of these players is averaging 27-8-8 while the other is averaging 10-4-3

There is no debate here.

I would trade Hayward for some cotton candy just to get rid of his contract.

And throw Brad in for a second rounder and some skittles

1. Kyrie left BECAUSE of lebron. So now you're stuck with kyrie leaving

2. Lebrons overpaid. He's gonna be more overpaid as time goes on

3. Lebrons getting injured now. Bad sign about health and father time

4. Klutch sports will force the team sign someone like KCP or JR Smith first. They're the mafia of the nba

5. I'd rather beat lebron or lose trying, than join Him in winning

Safe to say Kyrie and Bron are best buddies now
