For Vet min or if Danny can clear more room by trading Crowder+Morris, or if IT's injury is bad for him to get max
Reason: at this point i don't think he care about the salary more than rings and we are the best destiny really..much better than the Lakers

Stop calling him! He won't come and he doesn't plan to come. And most of all we don't need him. It's like forcing a Laker fan to move with his family to Boston...just won't go.

Great. Another wing to find minutes for...

oh yess, just imagine what could Stevens do with LeBron in this squad, he could play at 4 or even be a playmaker (if they don't offer max deal to IT) and both of them having very very very high basketball IQ that would be joy to watch. I think that Stevens could expand LeBron career even more with new role if he decide to join Boston next year/or if they trade for him

Until he drop his ego and okay for a much reduced role, no.

I too, think that he would not want to come here.   We beat him often during his early career and I think we are his nemesis to a certain degree.    I realize this sounds like the Venture Bros.

Much reduced role? Please. I would drop IT and let Lebron run the point.

I suspect that any fan that says that s/he wouldn't welcome Lebron isn't being honest with him/herself.

Id welcome Lebron, but a championship won with him wouldnt feel as good as 2008.

few legitimate reasons I don't want him:

1. As soon as he loses twice in the finals he looks for a new team
2. He quits games during regular season and calls it rest, causing team to limp into playoffs
3. That resting is going to get worse as he ages
4. A lot of his game will not age well. Ray Allen made sense playing old. But lebron style of play not sure
5. I'd rather beat him than join him. Like others said it doesn't feel good that the guy we couldn't get past for a decade joins us

This.

I feel like I'm reading: "I wouldn't want to date Cindy Crawford. She doesn't appeal to me because of X,Y,Z."

My response: "oh, ok pal."
The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

you think a 45 year old lebron will be any useful? He's better now than he will be in the future, and he is already limping into the finals and can't beat Durant and curry. He's getting worse not better. He needs to rest half the season.  And a lot of us would rather beat him

We get it. You like easy mode like Durant. Some of us prefer the challenge of beating this guy

Good post, TP.  I would feel like they were pulling a Kevin Durant.

I'd prefer easy mode that leads to championships over the challenge of beating teams that we're not quite equipped to (or weren't before we got Hayward, Morris and Baynes).
