Title: Schultz: “slim chance exists that Lebron signs with Celtics or Warriors”
Post by: CelticsElite on June 11, 2018, 12:36:10 AM
Per multiple sources, there is a slim chance #LeBron will sign with either the #Celtics or #Warriors. The thought process is that chasing Kyrie or KD will not be particularly appealing at this point in his career.

Signing with the warriors would be a more stupid move than what KD did.. Joining an enemy you can't beat is just  unfathomable.
With the Cs though is diffrent.. Its like being a mercenary joining forces to try and beat the ultimate enemy.. The Warriors.

It would make The Decision look brilliant.

I could not envision he would ever be so desperate to actually contemplate that. He’s smart and knows he’s an ambassador of the sport and this would be such a terrible mistake.

I think it’s either LA (where he has a home) or stay in Cleveland for another season and see how things shake out.

Is it chasing Kyrie if he is the one that is traded to land James?

My hope is that we don’t even hold a meeting with Lebron, as I think that in and of itself will be a negative.

Nope, I'm hoping that this happens. People really underrate Bron here.

If he joined the Warriors he would immediately cement his legacy as being second to MJ, there is absolutely no way Lebron James will do that. No one would take any titles they won seriously.

But also, don't consider joining the Celts either please lol.

They'd all be buying LBJ C's jerseys...I'd trade Kyrie for him--cause I think we're going to have to listen all year to the Free agency stuff...like we did with I.T.

In terms of legacy, LeBron is already in a different category than Jordan, Kobe, Magic, Larry.  All of them stayed with one team and then were able to build championship teams around them.  They didn't go chasing around to find a team that was close and then join them.

Granted, all of these players had some really good teammates on their championship teams, far more than LeBron has had (except maybe in Miami).  I predict that LeBron will end up in LA with the Lakers and somehow Chris Paul, Paul George, and Cousins will join him.  It will be like that Lakers team that Karl Malone and Gary Payton played with Shaq and Kobe but couldn't beat Detroit in the Finals (except all 4 will be new players).

Well said, TP, as for the bolting to other teams, they could have but did not.   Jordan's team was bad for a couple of years before he became a champion.
