Poll: Would LeBron win three titles with the Celtics

[KG Living Legend]

 If he was here from like 33 years old to 38 years old with this young core plus draft picks would he win three more.

Lebron with this current core of Celtics will be a dynasty, even at old age. He have  the "playmaker" he needed, the depth to give him a breather from playing more than 35 minutes and great coaching in Brad Stevens.


With that said, I don't want to think about that possibility despite his talent.

Is the sky Blue on a pretty, cloudless day?

[Roy H.]

Probably not, unless Golden State falters.

[slamtheking]

adding him to what we already have -- can't see how he wouldn't. 

if we have to give up some assets to get him, depends on what we give up.

There are no assets to give when LeBron is concerned. He just decides where he goes and he just goes there.

I hope not, seeing him in green will stop me being a Celtics fan until is out of the team.

[LilRip]

Absolutely. This team is much better than the Cavs without Lebron. If we add Lebron instead of Hayward, I don't see how any team beats us in a 7 game series. Even GSW.

 Horford Zizic
 LeBron Yabu
 Crowder Brown
 Bradley Smart
 Thomas Fultz

 That team would be unreal.

He is already declining athletically. Not sure how good he will be 3 years down the line.

[Moranis]

I don't think so.  He almost certainly won't do it with the Cavs who still have a better supporting cast (and probably do next year as well).  Now if GS falls apart then maybe but GS is the clear team to beat for at least the next couple of seasons.

I'm with you. TP

 You can't be serious. Thomas is better than I Irving. And we have the rest of the team beat by a mile.

Eh.  Thomas and Kyrie are largely a wash.

Love is probably better overall than Horford, although Horford remains better on defense.

Thompson is better than Amir.

I'd take AB over Smith, but it's close.

Having Marcus and Jae off the bench would be big. They add more than Korver and Jefferson, and that's without counting Jaylen.

I'd take Deron and Frye over Rozier and KO.

I think the two teams are close with Lebron. Maybe the Celts are an upgrade, maybe not. They're not so much of an upgrade that they'd be head and shoulders above the Warriors though.

That said, having Lebron forces the team to cash in our picks. Let's say we trade AB, Crowder, and BRK17 for George.

Horford / Amir / Zizic
Lebron / KO / Yabu
George / Brown / Nader
Smart / FA
IT / Rozier

That team might win three titles, especially with BRK18 as a trade chip.

Lebron might be the only guy on either team that makes his teammates better.  So I would expect a lot of the Celtics to look better and a lot of the Cavs to look worse.  Only the volume scorers like Isaiah and Irving may not benefit by playing with Lebron.  Love would probably increase his numbers and be used a little differently as well.
